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.

Noble Dolls Asella Tiny Radicelle Rhubarbe Discussion Part 1

Feb 1, 2013

    1. Thank you Stella Maris.

      Xanadu dolls, I have always been really critical of my own work, that's why I usually send my dolls to face-up artists...

      Auntbear, that's the kind of solution I could consider, but I have to see first if I ever feel the spark for this particular face-up...
       
    2. i think you have done a great job with her. i do all my own faceups and i am by no means a professional so i know what it is like to be critical of my own work when it doesn't come out the way i envisioned. i've found other people here to be really helpful sometimes in showing me how to get a bit closer to what i see in my head, and as i practice i get closer to being able to duplicate what my minds eye sees.

      hopefully you will either grow to like this one, or find a way to get closer to your vision next time. i'd give it some time if you can though, 'cause she is really lovely like that.
       
    3. Skimo - your little fox girl looks amazing! (However if the face up is not right for you, then sometimes there's no getting around that - ultimately your dolls need to work for you :) )

      My Rhubarbe took the eyes from my Pukifee Cony fullset (and doesn't that sound wrong and rather violent???) and I absolutely love them on her! They really fit in with the whole pastel look that I was trying to achieve. And with the perfect eyes, she finally revealed her name! Introducing Aurelia -

      It's funny - I never thought that I would enjoy a doll larger than Pukifee sized, but I absolutely adore this girl! I think it helps that I feel she works proportionally with my Pukifees (because that sort of thing is important to me - one of my quirks :) )
       
    4. Aurelia is so pretty, those eyes are great!
       
    5. Oh so pretty !

      Do you have a number in your FacePlate and HeadBack of your Jpop Radicelle and Rhubarbe ?
      What is write in your head?
      I have one, what is it?
       
    6. aurelia is really pretty! i loved the eyes from the fullset and was (briefly) tempted to get my dony as a fullset just to get those eyes!
       
    7. Thank you - I'm really happy with them!

      Thanks! There is a number in the headback of my Rhubarbe, but I'm not sure what it relates to - maybe it's a serial number?

      Thanks, auntbear! When I first put the eyes in I was a bit unsure, but I just love them now, and they have really solidified who she is for me. Will you be able to give your girl a face up soon? (EDIT: just remembered that I saw on your Flickr that it was snowing, so I realise that it's unlikely!)
       
    8. yeah, it's still snowing here and more predicted for the next couple of days before it warms up again. besides which i have one of my kids home sick with the flu :(. but i'm consoling myself by making clothes for my dolls, and rhubarbe just got a new top. i just need to figure out some pants or a skirt to go with it so she can model it. none of the "bottoms" the other dolls wear do anything for her figure!
       
    9. I've just fallen in love with these gorgeous girls after being away from DOA for a while! Does anyone know if jpopdolls is going to have a preorder for Rhubarbe anytime soon? Thanks! ^_^
       
    10. haven't heard, but you could probably shoot them an email and ask. everyone else would be interested in whatever you find out, too
       
    11. Well I sent jpop an email. Hopefully I'll hear back soon!
       
    12. Make sure you are signed up for the jpop newsletter, so you will get notification of all the pre orders
       
    13. Well, I heard back from Jen at jpop today but I don't really have any news to share. She just told me that there will be more preorders in the future, but not this month :) I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
       
    14. The next preorder is blue Rhubarbe :)
       
    15. Yay, I got a reglisse at Dollism today. She's so adorable in real life.
       
    16. pictures please :)
       
    17. The picture that sealed the deal.

    18. Aww, hi turtledove! Your girl is awesome, so happy you got to take her home!
       
    19. I'm very happy with her, she'll definitely be interesting to sew for. Though I think I like the style wig she has in the first picture.
       
    20. She is so cute! I must say that I love the colour of the wig in the second picture - it's so pretty!
