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.

Sartoria J Design Group - Part 2

Nov 22, 2020

    1. I wound up feeling and deciding the same way.
       
    2. add mine to the others that my sleeping Yvonne head was also with another order and she totally surprised me and I"m so thrillled.
       
    3. Been busy but checking this thread occasionally and my thoughts basically mirror y'alls. Totally fine to retire sculpts but why the rush? Was thinking of making Jude my first boy BJD but with the rush and waiting on two dolls with them already I decided not to go for it.

    5. Thanks Khlovera. I'm very pleased with her and she's so very different from my other Yvonnes. It isn't the usual type of face up I would have normally gone with, but I love how it turned out. Are you having her done similar to this ones, or a much different look. Just curious.

      Here is one of Oasis.

    6. @Bren first, your Yvonne is so impressive ❤️ I love realistic sculpt in the darker skin. Is she in Amber beige skin? But her Iple body seems to be in light brown, I always thought that Amber beige is close to Real skin from Iple but has a bronze or yellow undertone? Correct me if Im wrong lol
      Regarding my sleeping Yvonne, well I do really really like her promo photo with the light faceup done by Barbiefinger, it’s so calming and pure but I decide to do a resin match for mine:XD: SJ Peach cream or Iple RS with an accentuate and strong faceup. I’m thinking of a pair of painted wings in white or silver on the corner of her eyes :sweat please don’t laugh at my nowhere and hyper flexible idea hahaha

    7. Thank you. She was a OOAK face up by SartoriaJ when they did the final sales of their left over original Heads when they sold the Joker and Harlequin faced up as well. I was thrilled that I was able to get her.

      Amber Beige Skin? Yes she is, but is actually the original Amber Beige color before they changed their shades. And the Iple body is actually real skin, I'm trying to remember if it's the one with french resin or not, ( I think it was ) which makes the color darker. Hard to keep track sometimes, when doll are borrowing bodies. And yes, you are correct that Iple RS tends to be more olive tone in color.

      I wouldn't laugh. It sound intriguing and I would love to see your idea flesh out in the resin. I do like at times Strong face ups. My other Yvonne has the Egyptian face up.

      I really like their newer Peach Cream color. I find it perfect for my elves.

    8. @Bren Thanks for the additional informations :chibi Your Yvonne is so beautiful and I would like to see one day your other Yvonne with that stunning Egpytian faceup.

      So here's a quick comparison photo for Yvonne and Sleeping Yvonne.
      [​IMG]SartoriaJ’s Yvonne head size comparison by Khlovera, on Flickr

      I would mostly show the head size comparison here, not the color lol as I used phone cam and the lightning was bad in the basement where I took this pic.

      Left: Yvonne from the original head release (~2019), in old amber beige skintone, she wears 8-9 inch wig
      Right: Sleeping Yvonne head from 2021 Christmas event, in new warm ivory skin.

      I didn't try her with a wig on, but it's clear that her (sleeping Yvonne) head size is smaller compare to the original head.

    9. @Khlovera

      Thank you and no problem. And here is Kissa, since you asked to see her with her Egyptian make up.....

      [​IMG]

      Yeah. Your pic is a great example that truly shows how the new head is smaller than their original ones.

    15. Hey Bren!
      Can we see a close up?
      (I actually ordered elf Juliet with the Cleo makeup but requested different brows and remove the mole above her lip.)

    17. Did you guys see the posts on instagram about the new theme?? Tarot! I am very excited about this! (I just hope they actually do all the cards, unlike Souldoll...)
       
      • x 2
    18. Yes, did see it and also got very excited! I love tarot ... the Fool is a good choice to start :D
       
    19. Yes! since it's the number "0" card :D

      From the sketches she showed on Instagram, looks like she's taking inspiration from the Commedia dell'Arte and Harlequin. Can't wait to see the new guy
       
    20. DollZone attempted a tarot series too, and much like SoulDoll, never completed it.
      I'm super curious to see how the new guy turns out!
