This is the first time I hear about Orange Tea Dolls and totally dig them, so beautiful features. @Cydril Ooh, her outfit is so nice! Where is the hat from?
My Pollet finally arrived! I've named her Phoebe. I plan to make her wig today and hopefully, a dress later this week. Does anyone have any advice for getting her to not fold up into a ball? I think maybe her elastic is too tight? or maybe she needs some hot glue? I don't have much experience with BJDs. . by kjanell86, on Flickr
@kjanell86 I've hot glued mine today and it helps a lot! (in the hip and knee joints) I'm not an expert with the hot glue gun myself, so it took me several tryings but in the end the result is pretty good. The hot glue is also useful for the wigs, if the wig happens to be a bit too large or wobbles then some drops of hot glue on the head cap will solve that problem as well
@kjanell86 Oh, no, just pull the leg out of the joint and that's that. Then put a bit of hot glue, spread it with a piece of paper. I do it with my finger or fingernail but it's hot so be careful. It dries super fast though, so don't wait too long either. (don't worry if the glue falls of or you've spread it wrong, it doesn't mean you're doing it wrong, it just takes a bit of practice)
Hi, I'm happy to have tracked down this thread! I have a light tan girl which I'm currently loving and a dark tan girl on the way, she's taking a detour to have a faceup and wig made first! I'll try to find somewhere to host pictures so I can share.
Thank you, she's nothing like I expected, and I totally love it! I'm also waiting for a dark tan girl too... there's something about them!
Violkas are open for preorder again -- just put a deposit on mine! I've wanted one for ages and the Stars have finally aligned.... Violka preorder 1st payment
My pollet is finally here! I have no idea what to dress her in or what shoes/wigs to get her. Currently she is using a blythe top and a curvy barbie bottom.
Oh huzzah! I've been wanting to see owner photos of this one! I am sorely tempted by her! And in that resin color. Looks like you already have a good head start on getting her some clothing.
