Mindulrae/Dandelion by Bimong

You guys have absolutely sold me, I have to have this girl! Here's my other question, what is the "Oriental" skintone like? What is the difference between that and the Golden?

 

Stella, mine is pinky white so I can't give you much detail on the other colors... but there are pix in this thread of the Oriental. My guess is the golden will be more yellow, at least that's the way Catrina from Dollfair described it once.

hoshinokachi, what a wonderful job you've done, I know you've put a lot of work into your Dandelion. She's amazing.

Sheri, I'm delighted to see Lirin's Christibell again. She looks beautiful as ever... Who made the lovely sweater?

I have a lot of dolls, but this one is really special to me for a lot of reasons. She's really beautiful but has a deep sense of soul to her, IMO.

 

Stella, i have the Oriental matte urethane, it's not very yellow at all IMO it just looks like a "yellow" NS tone, as compared to a "pink" NS tone, you can see her photo a few posts back.

 

thankyou!

aw toydogz4 your girl is so sweet looking!

i have the oriental french resin and next to my NS DOD she looks really yellow. but when she is sitting by herself she does not look so yellow to me. i think that toydogz4 explained it well that the oriental is like a creamy buttermilk kinda color. it's a sweet sunkissed look. kinda right between the golden beige and pinky NS, i am guessing on that one since i don't have the other skin tones to compare to.

 

Oh my she is wonderful!!! This seems like a doll that Raven would adore, but alas, no elf ears. It sounds like she worked some real magic on your girl. Is she wearing 12mm eyes? Love her outfit so much!!

Winternight, Lirin's Christabel is wearing the bolero sweater that is part of a Volks MSD outfit from a few Dolpas ago. Some of the MSD stuff fits just great. The slim stuff may not though as she is so youthful that she has very little waistline.

Stella Maris Christabel is Oriental french resin. She has a lovely warm tone and very nice translucence. I am hoping the UV additives will save her from too much yellowing. Lirin has a WS french resin Narsha who is quite yellowed. Not sure of her age, being her 3rd owner. The 2 of them do look very nice together. (adds another request to the photo session project).

 

My Lixue is oriental matte urethane too, but I would actually say it IS rather yellow. But not unpleasant at all, it's a lovely buttermilk colour that photographs beautifully.

 

Hmm, my Dandelion is Oriental matte as well, but I don't find her very yellow at all, more of a creamy tone. Whatever you all it, the color is lovely, I adore my girl.

 

Thanks to a little birdie (named toydogz) for this information...

Dandelion wears the Kish 14" Chrysalis clothes and shoes. I'm doomed now. But at least I'll go happily.

 

OK, update, I changed my order to Oriental resin because Joan at Dollfair told me that they made that color just for Dandelion. So, who am I to argue. Also I really did not want her to look "dead". Not that I mind that, for many of my other kids, just not her.
Are 14mm eyes best for her?

 

Weee she is home! Had just enough time on lunch hour to run to post office, get her, take her home, open box up, have quick squeee moment and then run back here to work

I do see what you all mean by the head thing...any way to fix it ? If I use an S hook will that help at all as opposed to the silver bar?

Awww but her face...even without a faceup you can SEE what a wonderful face sculpt she has!

Has anyone else noticed their default wig staining the head???

I took Kyoko's wig off for the first time today, and popped on a new gorgeous Leeke heat resistant one. I came back two hours later and took the wig off and there was a stain on her pretty head. Now I don't know whether there's a problem with the new wig or the old one, since I took the default wig off in a semi-dark room and didn't notice the stain then. Maybe someone could check your dolls for staining, if you have the default wig on. I'm afraid to put anything back on her now!

Oh, I miss the city!*sigh*

Stella, Her eyes are 12mm. Sorry to make you wait, things have been a little hectic here with the flu running thru the house.

Zenna, congratulations, she sounds wonderful!

 

*raises hand*

The default wig stained my Lixue's head. But I don't mind too much, being as she wears a wig all the time anyway.

 

**squeee* the dresses that I bought for her arrived today!!! Here is the thread with some pictures of my sweetie

It is such a treat to see the many faces and moods of the amazing Dandelion. She is such a satistying doll. I ordered her for my daughter's Christmas gift in oriental French Resin and she is so breathtakingly alive!!

Lirin and I went to a wonderful meetup this week and Christabel had a lovely time meeting new friends. The Volks MSD outfit called Gretel fits her great except for the necklet which was a bit too tight to fasten.
A little rest time...



And a romantic portrait too.

Spoiler: romantic

Lirin's photos are towards the bottom of the page.

Here is a picture of my Kaiko...I tried to do a lighter face up on her that will hold over until I can get her to *Meee*

 

Here are my first pictures of Li-Hua, which means pear blossom I think. She wore her default wig for a minute, then I wanted to strech out her new Tinybear one.
I can't get over how lovely she is, she is everything I love about Narae, without any of the things I don't love. Her maturity, the intelligence in her face and wow! her hands are amazing. She is Oriental French Resin.

 

Well, she turned out to be a precocious pre-teen, little Li-Hua. Here are a couple crappy snaps of her new very red faceup, she's playacting some kind of character. I know, I know she was supposed to be natural, and she was I swear, and her faceup was so sweet, but then I noticed a little mark in it, and well, something happened. Yeah, that's it.

 

LOL, she' s very naughty. Well today I was feeling empowered as I managed to get my daughter to wear a cute dress for picture day, so Li-Hua got a new faceup. Of course after I downloaded these photos I noticed her eyelash was crooked. Ooof. Annoying. Hope you like her!

 

Winternight, you are the one I was listening to the most when I first thought of getting Dandelion. I just love your doll so much and I know you ordered the pinky white matte resin which I was thinking of getting but only in French since that is the only kind of resin they have right now. I did order the Oriental colour because I love the prototype of Dandelion so much I just decided to go with that look. I also had thought of getting the lighter coloured lips like yours but I just basically tossed a coin because I like both looks. I am glad to hear you are pleased with how they did it. That was reassuring. I haven't heard of anyone that has gone with the darker colours like the pictures but I did go with that look and when she finally comes I will try to post pictures. I hope I can figure out how to do it. One other thing, will Doll Heart clothes fit? Her chest seems very wide.

 

Shashy, her chest is not too wide, if you are talking about Dollheart MSD clothes. However remember that she is short. I have my girl in an MSD dress now that would be above the knee on an MSD, and it is mid calf on Li-Hua. I think it looks just fine ! It' s just a different look.
