Twigling Doll Discussion ~ Part 3

One year before covid? I thought it was way later than that. Thank you for explaning a little what happened between the scenes!

For me the most difficult thing during the pre-order was to pick the right option for each category XD
It took me a month to ideally come up with the final doll, almost missed the pre-order XD

 

Yup, the first picture that DCS tagged me in on Instagram, of recently cast dolls is from December 2018, though it would have been early 2019 before anything actually arrived.

Would you like to tell me something about what gave you difficulty with choosing between the options, how you managed to resolve it and perhaps your perspective on how that could be improved on the website? If so, please shoot me an email about it

 

My first dye job. I love how she turned out. I tried to find one of the original Ingenue’s in raw umber but couldn’t. (I would still like one more) but I digress, I bought this girl second hand, dyed her and I couldn’t be happier with the results.



Also my first faceup on another new purchase of an Ingenieuse.



And finally my new girls together.

 

They look gorgeous and your dyed girl amazing! You did a great job

 

That is a gorgeous colour you you dyed your girl!! Which dye did you use?

Also, I got a pic of one of my hybrids here!

this is Mal. She’s the OG ingenue on a Doll Chateau body, believe it or not.

 

Thank you.

 

@Msbold1

thanks so much!! It looks like the perfect colour to match a body to a stubborn head (also in something like raw umber!)

and thank you! I think Mal is the most vibrant character I’ve shelled!

 

I am so excited my mint Elbe has shipped!! Is it wrong all I want to do is make her a necklace? I am not sure what else she will wear

 

That’s not wrong at all! My purple gamine shipped today, and my only plan for her is that I’m braiding flowers into her hair, so she might end up wearing flowers and a wig till I learn more about her style, haha

 

Oh thats awesome @Chameleon! That sounds very pretty. My girl will arrive before her wig too.... at least she will have a necklace

 

It's your doll, you can do whatever you want!

 

being unsure of new dolls' style is exactly why I try to only get dolls within the same general measurements, that way they can just borrow from existing clothes while I decide what works and then I know exactly what size to get stuff in

 

Oops due to shipping mixup have a bit more time to work on things for incoming Elbe! These are the parts of her necklace thus far

Thanks for the support @Demiurgo - I would happily leave all my dolls half dressed and wigless at times however my partner is already a little weirded out... I try and make them look as 'normal' as possible hehe.

I seem to have dolls all the way from 15cm - 65cm @Girrl - but I have found that clothes I have bought/made for a particular size work even better for an unintended victim sometimes!

 

Oh hi!! I'm the other side of that shipping mixup! If you want a pic of your Elbe, I can totally unwrap her a little and send pics (I didn't unwrap once I saw she was green!) that beading for the necklace is looking incredible as well!

 

Oh exciting @Chameleon! I thought it must be your doll thats coming to me. And than you I am not sure how long it would have taken me to realise I had the wrong doll - must have been a surreal feeling! I think I will have to see her colour in person to get a better idea of what will suit her. I am still waiting for customs here to hand over your girl so I can send her your way

 

fingers crossed for a speedy release! It was definitely a relief to see you in here though! I feel like when mine arrived in purple, you'd have known she wasn't quite right!

 

HERE WE GO GUYS! Obsidian dolls will be the next to be casted! I'm so happy!

 

I had to drop part of my obsidian order for vet bills, but I’m still bringing home a head I can hybrid. I’m so excited to see the colour in person!

 

Hello there (reposting this from IG and Facebook)

I had said I would make an announcement this week about where we are at, but I am still waiting to confirm some things and until then everything is still a bit up in the air.

In the event that it becomes impossible to cast my dolls in Russia with DCS, I am working on alternative solutions. But whichever it will be, I think we have to assume there are going to be some more delays, which makes me hella uncomfortable when I have customers waiting since September 2020 for their dolls.

Not to mention that I have closed orders for now, and until I can confirm that I have a viable production option up and running, which means I'm skating the edge of precarity myself as well. Several options are being prepared, but nothing is fully confirmed yet.

I will continue to update as/when I have information...

 

My Elbe "Nemain" got an outfit, face and wig change - this is a smartdoll wig, and Angell Studio clothes. The bra-top I beaded myself.
