Aww thanks Samson, I really wasn't expecting her to turn out how I envisioned, and i really am so very pleased with her
@Saraht I think you girl came out wonderfully! I have no guts when it comes to face-ups. Maybe one day "when I grow up" HA! Here's a pic of my twins together (finally/sorta). I'm so lazy...I've done nothing about their styling but Lulu (brown hair) had a wig colour change from blond to brown. That's about as far as I've gotten with these two. Still dragging my feet over their bigger bodies...
They are amazing mdonline! So beautiful - haughtingly so Who did their face ups? You can drag your feet all you like, providing that you spam us photos like these That light brown wig is perfect on her. Thank you for your comment on my face up. I was very nervous doing it but am so pleased with the way she came out. I don't think that I will ever tire of her!
I know what you mean about this sculpt. I wanted her for years and she was one of my dream sculpts. And thank you for the kind words I'm glad the concept for them came across. Their face-ups were done by Rugged Realism (Helene) here on DoA. I love working with her when I can nab a spot. Here's Mary on her own.
I have a question. My Dandelion is one of the first from a few years ago and she is in the Oriental French Resin. These dolls don't look like that. Are they newer? Mine was quite yellow at the beginning and still is but I have got used to it. I regret not getting the white version but???? live and learn. I don't think it has yellowed any more though but I am careful. I still quite like her but her original faceup is quite basic compared to the above more detail versions.
I tried to put a picture in here. Has DOA changed the way to do it or is it Flickr. Someone is making it difficult. I don't come to DOA much any more but it would be nice to share a picture.
Your Dandelion is lovely! And I had fun looking through your flickr to find her! Dandelion has been sold by a sequence of manufacturers and various resins over the years. She is currently available from Art-Bimong in normal skin urethane resin: art BIMONG For flickr you need to use their share options at the lower right. Flickr keeps changing the way you need to post a link.
Thanks Nancy. Yes, I saw Flickr was different from before and even after copying the BBC code all I could get was that X with no picture but it does say my name so a person can go through all my pictures but does not show the one I want to show here. I find it a pain when these places change things. People are never happy with the changes. Once you knew how to do it before it was easy. Sometime I will try again.
Shashy, i have the same problem and am unable to use Flickr to post on DOA. I use Photobucket instead and use the Direct link to the right of the photo. It automatically turns yellow and says 'copied'. Soo much easier! The French resin versions of Dandelion do look a little different to the urethane ones that i and some of the others here have. By nature i think the resin is more translucent, so you will find she has a different tone to her. Very pretty though!
Your Mary is absolutely stunning. You must sit and look at her for hours! I would. I am not familiar with Rugged Realism, so i shall be looking her up later on To have twins as well - lucky thing is my response
@Shashy I love your classic Dandelion! And your doll collection is really wonderful and charming. I also enjoyed looking through your photos on Flickr. I totally get the frustration about trying to share photos . I have to edit the Flickr share links to get my pics to post as well, which is a pain. If you don't find the help thread on DoA that explains what to do, feel free to PM me and I'll list out the steps. @Saraht Thank you so much! I do really enjoy my girls. But to be honest, I hardly give them any attention because they aren't in their final form. Shame on me But at least they have their wigs and eyes! Oh and Rugged Realism is also known as Helene here on DoA. Meanwhile here's Lulu the other twin that's always outshined by her sister.
Yes, you said it - shame on you! These two beauties definitely need to be given your full attention mdonline03. Please, please show them to me when they are in their final form! Lula is every bit as gorgeous as her Sister. I love her freckles! No way am I green with envy.........
Are you just coping the flickr link into your message? You shouldn't use the Image box. This isn't a Dandelion, but I just clicked on the share arrow, then BB code and then copied the text and pasted it into the message. Aria Limho 002 by nancy_schroeder_ca, on Flickr
Does anyone own a Bimong Meronica body and a Bimong Dandelion head? How does Dandelion fit on Meronica's body? Do they at all? Bimong also doesn't list the neck circumference of any body. Does anyone know Dandelion's and Meronica's?
I have both and I don't think that would work at all. It would result in a very bobble headed doll. I'll try to get a comparison picture tomorrow or Saturday.
@nancy_schroeder_ca That's what I was thinking from the circumference of their heads and the difference in body types. I'd still appreciate some pics, though!
Looks like the Dandelion heads sold out within a week. I wasn't able to get one! Sighs... I was talking to Bimong and he mentioned that the new 60cm Narae body he is working on is suitable for Dandelion! And he plans to do a renewal where head and body are available for purchase separately. So I guess I just have to hold out a bit longer!
He has been posting progress pictures of the new body on his flickr page. The link is on his home page. When he puts something on sale, it's to act promptly! Start saving for the day! And sign up for his mailing list! He does send out notices about new things in stock!
I had asked him a while ago about getting a dandelion head separately. At that time you couldn't but he remembered and emailed me to let me know of his sale. So I got one of the heads. It came today.
