it is...but to me one of the fun parts actually... dreaming about the moment of holding a new magical creature, all part of the fun in this hobby to me
PS to help ease the wait a bit Shelly opened up this thread for future bubu2/Ophelia owners: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=322952 Thank you Shelly!!
whooo after some deliberation (and lets face it some tossing money's around) I caved and bought myself an IF. its meant as a little pet for my littlefee Ante
Congrats to you Elaisa, you're going to love it I'm sure... I'm so happy with all the CCC creatures I have so far, they're very special and unique
My Grandma bought me an Ophelia Licorice for my birthday! It was so nice of her, she help me pick her out too This will be my first CCC doll, I'm so excited!
wow patty-pan, so sweet of her! that's cute too that she helped pick her out. you'll always have good feelings to attach to ophelia
Thanks guys ^_^ My grandma is a very nice and generous person, and Ophelia will always be a reminder of that My grandpa also has very interesting taste in dolls, we all looked at the CCC website and picked our faves XD He likes the ones he thinks are the cutest. Normally I would be thinking of what plans I have for a new doll, but Ophelia seems like she has plenty of chatacter of her own! It seems all of Charle's sculpt have an amazing amount of personality, though I've never seen one in real life.
I'm lucky to own a bunch of Charles' dolls, and you're right, each one has its unique personality! I simply love CCC and Ophelia is just stunning
I've been looking around the threads, and saw the piggy "Ophelia Blackberry". I had seen her before Ophelia Licorice came out, but now realized she must be the precursor to Ophelia Licorice. I'm wondering, did Ophelia Blackberry inspire Charles to make the new black piggy, or was she planned from a long time ago? Either way, can't wait to get my first piggy doll!
I've just checked the CCC webstore - if there's still any piggies left in a week (payday) I can get more!!! *crosses fingers*
Yes, I believe you're right! I had forgotten all about that piggy. I wonder if she was actually cast in resin or is an OOAK sculpt by Charles - either way, she definitely looks like the inspiration for our new Ophelia. I wonder if Charles has any drawings/paintings of her too. I loved seeing the Alice illustrations! and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you gooblyglob! What other piggies are you looking going to get?
I know this is a bad quality image, but I hope it's ok if I share this- Some Ophelia fan-art I made. I draw dolls to ease the pain of waiting, haha! If I ever scan it for better quality, I'll update. ^^;
