Merrydoll Round Pygmies

I got my eyes from Dreaming Tree Studios yesterday I got two pairs of 4mm and a pair of 3mm just in case because I find I often like eyes smaller than the recommended. She threw in a free pair of 3mm with my order which was very sweet, so now I have lots of options.

That said, OH MY the eyes are so tiny. Like... I can't even fathom how I'm going to get them in the wee little thing's head.

I paid my Strawberry Mousse off on Sunday night and even though Nuria said she wasn't going to start shipping until the 6th I've been obsessively checking for a shipping notice - something I haven't done in a long time! I'm happy this little lady has made me so excited about dolls again!

 

Oh, I hope to see lots of photos of incoming Mousses

 

Has anyone gotten a shipping notice yet? I'm just scared these little beauties are going to get stuck in the heaviest Christmas mail.

 

I got mine too about an hour after my questioning about it here haha. So excited!

 

So I adopted two mousse dolls, and I'm wondering how on earth do I place eyes in these tinies?? If someone could instruct me or provide some ideas that would be great!

 

Got my shipping notice as well. Ordered and received her a wig but looking forward to being able to order her eyes!!

 

My Mousse has arrived at the local post office, unfortunately I won't be able to pick her up before tomorrow~ Still stoked tho, I didn't receive a shipping notice so I assumed she hadn't been sent out yet, so this is a pleasant surprise~

 

You've probably got it by now but what I did was place the eye on the middle of a little mound of putty, and press that in to the eye well. Then to adjust/reposition I sort of poke at the putty with the end of a pencil/other long thing which moves the eyes a tiny bit.

But yeah my girl with faceup arrived! I am totally in love with her, she poses like a dream and is just so adorable!

@petitemarine
She is absolutely adorable, and that dress is beautiful.

I'm still waiting for the eyes for my Mousse, and hopefully I'll be able to make a wig for her soon. She is so tiny, so I'm scared of messing up by using too much hair or too thick wig-wefts >. >

 

My girl arrived today!! Didn't give her a proper faceup yet ( just put a tiny bit of chalk on her for color) and I have no eyes. She is soooooo tiny!! I don't think I would ever find an eye that small if I dropped one. I put some things in the picture for size reference. The eye is a 16mm by her foot!

 

Where did you guys find your wigs?! They're lovely looking and I can't seem to find any. Thank you by the way for the tips on how to place the eyes.

 

I haven't looked for a wig yet. Most of the people with Mousse I've seen so far have made their own wigs. That's my plan too but finding something commercially available would be nice.

 

I just ordered a Mousse in strawberry!

 

I just found these gals and I'm smitten! I love the chocolate milk Mousse...Any spam?

 

Gynure, your doll is SO pretty...............and the skin tone is just amazing! I just found the doll and the artist, and it seems, that all the Mousse dolls are sold out already....... I really hope, that there will be another release of them, because I want to get one! I just never even heard about the doll, until two days ago, sadly. Congrats to your beautiful little doll!


petitemarine, I really like the way you styled your doll! Cute dress and the boots are adorable!

 

@Tiffany thank you very much! I'm glad you like my girl!
The Mousse dolls are sold out because she always works in preorder style, it's rare for her to have stock dolls (although sometimes she puts some for sale when there are some left from preorders or events, that's how I got mine in fact). But she's not a limited doll so I'm pretty sure there will be some other preorders at some point although if I go by the calendar in her website I think the next one for Mousse will be in cookie skin in July and not in chocolate milk, but that colour is amazing, it's tempting even for me just because I love the sculpt and that skin colour hahahaha But I MUST resist!!!

I thought I had posted in here more pictures of my girl, but I just saw that I didn't. Here is one of the most recent pictures I took in an forest full of bluebells.

I'm hoping that Nuria releases some other dolls in this size with different head sculpts, I would love for my Mousse to have some company.

 

@Gynure, Thanks SO MUCH for telling me about the preorder in July! I didn't even know, and I am determined not to miss it again! I just have to get a Mousse; she is so cute! I really like you picture too. The outfit is adorable, and I like the bag she has! What size wig does she wear? Did you make the wig your doll wears in the picture yourself? I like the color and the braids look really nice. I saw some pictures on Nuria's Flickr with dolls in the cookie skin, and I really like that skin tone too. If I could, I would get one in each skin tone.......... I am really happy that I found Nuria's dolls, it's just sad that I missed the release of Mousse in chocolate skin. There is a message on her Flickr account, stating that she will open preorders in September 2016, but I don't think it will be a release for Mousse. So I have to keep an eye out in July! I am already trying to find Azone clothes that might fit her, because when I finally get one, I want to be ready, and have clothes, wigs, etc. for her! Thanks again so much, for telling me about Mousse being released in July, and for the picture!
