1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

LadySaiyuki's TED! I'M SO EXCITED~!

Sep 8, 2007

    1. ^^ *Hugs* you're too sweet ^_^ I do not mind doing a faceup for your Light NS one ^_^ but it'll have to wait until Monday though

      ....sad to say...I was a bit careless...and sadly enough I was convinced to go see a doctor..as it was getting very hard to breathe for me and eat or even swallow water...it turns out that I've developed some seriously nasty bacteria in my throat and it looks like it may be from over exposure to not only the MSC but to over exposure to the liquid Resin as well as resin dust... I have been sick in bed for the past few days...and I'm so sorry I'm only able to post now...

      I"m finally feeling semi okay enough to get out of bed and walk around a bit before I feel like I"m going to pass out... I over did it a bit at the Ohio Workshop...^^; I did like no joke 7 faceups in less than 4 hours...and I've been casting like 2-3 dolls a day...and when I wasn't casting I was drilling and sanding...to my stupidity...1/2 the time I wasn't wearing a mask...this is my own fault that I"m sick like this now...and I'm very very sorry....I will be back up and running on this preorder Monday...^^; again I"m so sorry that this week was like a failure ^^; I promise to get cracking down on this on Monday...I will always be using masks...even if it's only for a short time...as I really need to start watching what I do...to make sure I can do this ...as this is what makes me happy and this is what I want to do for a living...

      I'm so sorry again everybody to be posting so late...as most of you saw I'm temporarily putting my Faceup commissions on Hiatus for a few months...so I won't have to worry so much and to limit my MSC exposure...I will still offer default faceups for any Dolls I do for $30...but these are the only faceups, I will make exceptions for certain people who need my help...but only on the weekends.

      and thanks so very much for being so sweet and wishing me good health *Hugs* I promise that I'll get better and I promise that I'm going to do my best to keep my health up and still do my dolls ^_^
      I"ll be keeping everyone as updated as possible ^_^ *Hugs again*
       
    2. yay! *Glomps* You should have a payment from me for the lil Light NS one to have a faceup, and seriously tho - if you want to give yourself a break from the fumes of MSC, and someone who's not got a faceup after me (especially if I'm holding up the shipping process since I've asked for a faceup!), go ahead and send them theirs before me! ;) I know your lil guys (n' gals) are worth the wait!

      I'm contenting myself by squeeing over CaptainKyo's natsume! :love

      Oooh, and when you open your thread for face ups again, I've got a box of heads for you! *lol*
       
    3. Please take time to get well. Health of a person is far more important that dolls. I sent you off another payment, and if you can, let me know how much a faceup would be on my Ted. I will start to gather pictures for ideas, and again, I am in no rush for him. OK, I am, but not at the expense of your health!!
       
    4. THAT IS AWESOME! We always hear about people gettting sick, but never about a fungus... bacteria, or whatever. I'm only saying this because I know you're okay.... if not, it was not cool.
       
    5. huggles on everyone wishing me well and to get better *Huggles* I really do very much appreciate such sweet sentiments from everyone ^_^ you guys are the best!!!!

      The Antibiotics are finally kicking in and I started lightly sanding a bit today...up until I had a nasty fit of coughing ^^; and then the light sanding was brought to an abrupt hault ^^; so I went out and got myself some super masks ^^; and from the looks of it I may have 2 newly done teds fully strung up and ready tomorrow night ^_^ that's what I'm aiming for ^_^ and I'll try to have a third one done for Wednesday/Thursday...I'll be trying as best as I can without over doing it...this week...but my aim is to have 3 full Teds done.

      and for those of you who haven't seen...while I was up in Ohio I made my very own Ted: Artemis (she's a girl ^^; )

      I'll make an update tomorrow night ^_^
      *Hugs*
       
    6. Awww there she is my cute lil friend! So sweet!
      Natalie, seriously, you should be wearing a mask at all times when you work with resin!!!!!! Take care of yourself, you are too talented to lose!
       
    7. I agree with Stella, there are so many forum posts that talk about how evil resin dust and resin in general is, so why would you do so much sanding without a mask. Take care of yourself... we want our teds! hahaahah
       
    8. your Artemis is adorable >w<
      glad to hear that your feeling a bit better
       
    9. For light sanding and other things that produce dust only, you should be okay with a heavy-duty dust mask. However, if you're going to be casting and doing things that produce fumes, you should be using an actual respirator to protect yourself.

      It's great that you can produce these dolls, but you really need to take care of yourself long-term.... you may not be into dolls for more than a few years, but I guarantee you'll need your lungs and immune system your whole life! So what if it takes an extra week or two to get back to production - let your health really improve before you jump back in! :sweat
       
    10. I know it's not PC to quote someone and say "ditto", but really... this is too important, I just had to say that I totally agree with Armeleia!! Take *proper* care of yourself... especially if this is what you want to do for a living long-term. ok?? :atremblin:eusa_pray


       
    11. @LadySaiyuki-
      I want to make Ted a matching cape to my Halloween one... do you by any chance know his neck & chest measurements? (I know you posted his hips and such, but you never posted those.)

      I'm thinking that i'm going to make some smaller Noated pins and pin them on him & me and go as his mom (or something like that). I found cute devil horns at the costume store and really trampy red & black shoes... I just gotta make a matching outfit for myself, and dig out my cape from last year. hehe I'll take lots of pics... AND get to promote your dolls (and my anime site) all at once!! :)
       
    12. ^_^ hehehe Artemis really liked spending time with you over the weekend too ^_^
      ^^; and yeah...I got a bunch of heavy duty masks and stuff ^_^ as I really want to be doing this for a long time ^_^
      now that I've learned my lesson ^^; I won't be so naive and careless about wearing masks and wearing protectants ^^;

      Yeah ^^; I only wish I really read into those a bunch first before I started ^^; Instead I charged in Head first ^^; but I promise to be careful from now on...

      *Hugs* Thankies...and yeah me too ^_^

      Thanks so much Armeleia ^_^ I"m going to definitely get a respirator to protect myself...as yes the fumes I've found out first hand that they can be very dangerous ^^;
      as for being into bjd dolls...I've been into them since late 1999 and I know that I will continue to be into them for many many years to come ^^; even if I don't make them the entire time ^_^ and yeah before I start casting again...I'm going to make sure I'm much better... *Hugs and thanks*

      (thankfully...yet unthankfully ^^; I went on a severe casting binge before I got really sick...and most of the dolls for the preorder are fully casted...they just need all their clean up work done to them ^_^ )


      ^^; Gomen...didn't mean to make anyone worry ^^; sorries ^^; *Hugs*

      his neck measures:about 3.4 in ish...um I'm going to try and ship out your two kids tomorrow ^^; *Hugs*
       
    13. So, now the question is how many dolls total have you done? (I think my count is 8, but i could be wrong)
       
    14. :bump for an update? How are you feeling Lady S?
       
    15. Yes, Zamora and I think of you often, and hope you are feeling better!
       
    16. According to tracking... My Ted's are scheduled to arrive today!! :) Sooooo excited~~~
       
    17. Ooo exciting~ I cant wait to see piccus :D
       
    18. I"m home... no dollies were here waiting for me. :(

      Guess my twins won't have a Halloween b-day, oh well... here's hoping they show up tomorrow.
       
    19. Anyone heard from Lady Saiyuki? Wondering how they're coming along!
       
    20. She said she'd go on vaca, and well, shes probably been busy having a life outside of work (doll work). Dont worry peps. If you saw Batchix's thread in the artist forums, she's got a waiting time of one year to get her Machina doll. >< i wouldnt want to wait that long.
      Fear not, things will get done!
