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.

Using a bjd to store something?

Sep 7, 2020

    1. I'd potentially look into having a doll cast with resin containing the remains? You could try contacting companies and seeing if they'd be willing to do it or having an independent artist work on it. Besides that I'd consider making the dolls home involve the ashes whether it be by getting a memorial box that stays with the doll or some other method.
      As others have said I'm sorry for your loss.
       
    2. I’ve already ordered the Nell because it reminded me of her, so I don’t think I could do the casting thing, especially because Nell was already so pricey!
      Thank you all for all the ideas
      I think at the moment my best option is to get a sturdy keepsake container for some of the ashes to store inside the doll, and then either scatter the rest of keep them in a memorial urn in the dolls “home”.
      Thank you also for the tip about sunlight! I didn’t know that about them so that’s very handy.
