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.

Playing with dolls: what did you do with your doll today that made you happy? <3

Nov 12, 2017

    1. Unstrung Ghost Moth girl, her torso any way but NOT all her 6 limbs, that magnetic limb system and stringing per limb with the elastic knot in that joint is intimidating, not something I want to tackle just now yet!
      Anyways, strung up all her parts, also her fiddly bits of wings and shoes etc. in the opened-up shed since the weather is perfect today, and gave them all a few layers of MSC. This way when time and mood strike later on in the season I can start on painting her:3nodding:

    2. Finally had a small break from school work so I worked on Minka and Saga's face ups! I managed to get them 95% ready, still need to do the final coats of sealant, gloss and glue on lashes. I'm happy to have my favorite girls complete again (soon) :D

    4. I’ve been working on a complete revamp of my PicotPrince Makoto…new resin fox ears to blush, a new kitsune inspired faceup, a new wig (with specially made forest-boy extensions,) and two new yukatas in fox print fabrics. Today was the day to put all these pieces together for his first photo shoot. It’s like having a brand new doll!:)

    6. I took Asuna to London for a photoshoot. Asuna is a Dollfie Dream vinyl doll with a piercing gaze and optional elf ears. She's wearing the recently re-released Volks Prayer Girl set.

      Omg we had an epic day.

      First stop: Leadenhall Market. You might have seen it featured in the first Harry Potter movie. So now it is forever on the tourist trail.

      Man taking photo of human lady wearing fashionable clothes. Not interesting to the public.

      Man taking photo of 58cm tall doll (i.e. me).

      OMFG what is he doing!!!!???

      Fortunately everyone was really positive here and I had a really long chat with a lady who wanted to know everything about her, how many other dolls I have etc. etc. Also some Japanese tourists liked our Japanese bag and of course Asuna.

      I got a few good photos there. She also stood up on a barrel for a while, so some tourists got an interesting holiday snap.

      Later I went to Brick Lane and didn't get nearly so noticed. If anyone is in London this offers many excellent backdrops for doll photography. Plus we found this terrific scale book in a nearby trendy stationery store.

    7. I miraculously had the time, energy, motivation, AND great natural lighting today all at once so I took a bazillion doll photos. So many came out great and it felt nice to have some good quality doll time today. :) Also another dolly joy was that I went to a doll meet this weekend, despite feeling like crap all last week. So glad I pushed through and went anyway. :aheartbea

    8. I took all my dolls today and lined them up by height - I've taken plenty of group shots or have them all hang out together but I don't think I've set them up like this before. It's fun to still find new ways to look at them still!

    10. I have been starting on my Halloween pictures for October with my dolls. I am being very creative this year and trying new concepts with my scenes, I am anxious to see how they will turn out. I am not going to upload them from my camera until I finish all of the photoshoots for Scary Dolltober. I think they are going to look nice and spooky!

    11. Got a small package today full of doll goodies from DDE. Just bits and pieces of things I needed, but it was so nice to have a little unboxing and dress up party today. :)

    12. I got nameless dolly new eyes and she now looks like a much bigger doll. Can you tell she's only 17 cm??

      I also made her some tiny socks (though they can't be seen in the photo, as she and I are waiting on her to receive some teeny mary janes from Etsy in the mail).
