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

I felt some energy come back after a weeklong cold today so I put on a nice mix of japanese city pop and took all my dolls for a dance around the room. Surprisingly no accidents regarding shoes/wigs falling off! (They are all horrible dancers though)

 

With some non doll friends went to a local cafe to have a chat and breakfast this morning. Took Eve with me. They loved her. When Eve came out of her transport case I made her do a “hug me” gesture and the friend (after asking if it’s ok to touch) hugged her back and air kissed her.

Actually my dad also air kissed Adam a while ago.

 

That's supper cute . I need a little elf doll

 

I have my one girl sitting in my store . All the women love her but the men just give me a look. lol

 

I've been working on doll furniture for my SD dolls.

I finished making the bistro table yesterday, and I am making cushions for the wooden chairs and the benches. I am painting the benches so they look more finished. I am also finally starting to work on the bleachers that I have been putting off.

I needed a break from sewing doll clothes for awhile, and I feel very motivated about working on the furniture.

 

Just seeing them on their stands makes me happy! Currently I'm looking at a RealPuki Soso, since DDE still has a few in stock. Once I get my first paycheck it will be mine.

 

Today I grabbed some milliput and modded some of my resinsouls. It was fun to try some modifications that I'd wanted to make for a long time.
Now I'm waiting for everything to harden to see if it'll work the way I hoped. Even if it's not a perfect fix, I already like the look of those changes

 

I gave my Dandelion a another face up, hoping this one will work on her!

 

Finally removed Rupert's old face-up from when he was Gamzee. I'm thinking about how to do a new one, which is getting me amped up!

 

Gave my girl earrings. A small change, but I really like how she looks now

 

I've been making lots of jewelry for my dolls! I am having so much fun making all these tiny charm necklaces and bracelets for them! They look so cute!

 

I moved both of my dolls to be near my computer where I can see them more, and set up one to be perched on one of my speakers.

 

I spent a few hours today doing some serious restringing and maintenance on my newest doll, to get him up to my posing and handling spec. I usually string all my dolls pretty tight, but he arrived so tightly strung that it caused damage to his resin and I could barely pose him anyway. So this was the first time I wanted to loosen a doll's elastic. I already repaired the damage; this time, I gave him completely fresh elastic and hot glue sueding, removed all the wire in his legs (also a first, usually I'm wiring my dolls). Then spent a couple of hours stringing and unstringing him to get the elastic tension right. Finally got it right: he poses just as well as before but is much more pleasing to handle!

Ruach is far from finished -- he needs his own clothes and forever wig -- but I dressed him up in suitable clothes and a stopgap wig, and he's looking more like himself now.

 

i painted one of my dolls' nails-- i wanted her manicure to look like the famous Chanel "Vamp" polish, because i remember when that first came out in 94 or 95, and a lot of her character design is inspired by 90s fashion. super happy that i got the color and the finish just right!
