Victorian Winter Dolls discussion

Hook line and sinker! Great annology thinking of the preservation. Either to beat them or............ join them.....mostly in my case. lol

But the idea is a great one, that way we all can see dolls that we may want or already have and haven't done this before, never thought of it really. *high five* I really like to see dolls lined up as if they were in a "mug" shot (psssssssst....don't tell the fae I said that...lol) and we can see may aspects of the differences between them. And I'm dying to see the Rosette comparisions, since I don't have one myself.

If they ask about the "mug" shot, I always say it's full of chocolate milk! They can be easily distracted by chocolate and milk or combine them.......makes them absolutely slap silly! lol

 

I am convinced now to get me Odette, but I have to "weed" out my collection on who I play with the most and who has been here the longest.

Thanks for putting up that comparison, it really shows how much I am falling for her.

 

I got a new wig for Abernathy and I wanted to share it here. Leekeworld 6/6.5 wigs are a PERFECT fit, and come in lovely colors Abby needed to get her hair up because she was feeling a bit childish with it always falling in her eyes



She is still getting used to having a mohair wig instead of fiber, but Suli, my little Daisy Dayes Elise, is sharing a few secret remedies for keeping control of mohair (the secret is in the butterfly kisses contained in her magic bottle!)

She is definitely a special doll! If I had an option of keeping only one and losing the rest, she would be the one I would keep forever. There's just something so personal and charming about such a unique and rare artist doll. I would recommend getting her when you have a chance, even though she isn't limited, you never know when artists' dolls will become unvailable! I've actually seen a few on the MP that need a new home as well

 

That sounds like a good plan! I got mine just before Christmas and it was awesome having her sat beneath the Christmas tree when I opened her Also, VW sells her dolls in batches and keeps them in stock so you don't have to wait for production!

*Sigh* After going back to her site to look at these just now I forgot how magical her entire lineup of fantasy dollies are

 

Any word on when she will be getting more back in stock?

 

I know that VW is working on upgrading the TT body now, and hopes to restock once that project is finished. I havent seen any progress pictures except I believe she posted pictures of the new thigh joint on her forum or the VW facebook page.

I am hoping there will be a new Teg when she restocks but that's purely my speculation XD

 

I'm so very glad to hear that. I read on there she will do layaway, so I have been thinking.

 

It would definitely be incredible to see her make a comeback! I love my Odette and maybe the new version body will get the other TT sculpts on topic

 

I found her page today and I instantly fell unloved with Odette. I hope shell have some more of her in a bit. She's for sure my next purchase.

 

Oh yay, I hope you get a chance to buy an Odette, Beetle! I love my girl, she's definitely the star of my collection ^^

I'm not sure when Victorian Winter will be releasing her next batch of orders (she does them in batches to help with production time) but I believe her next release will have the upgraded bodies with double jointed legs

 

I hope so to. She is just lovely looking and from what everyone here has shown and said, I know for sure I want her. I'll just keep an eye out for when she releases again. Gives me time to save up

 

No updates since 2012!?

I just took my Odette outside for a photoshoot yesterday. Does anyone still have their Odette and would like to share?

 

I still have my Odette! I'm the one who made that doll's costume, all those years ago!
How is she/her clothes holding up? Mine is a bit worse for wear, we've been through a lot.

(I just logged back into my DOA account for the first time since forever and this was one of the last threads I had commented on, before I stepped away from it all.)

 

My girl’s outfit is still as beautiful as the day she arrived! She has a bit of a new look, too, but my power is out and I can’t get a photo. I’ll share asap though because I love her so much and really should share

 

Here she is! I went for a more frost-bitten look, and I absolutely love her. She's the main doll on my list of "if I had to run out of my burning house and grab only ONE DOLL"

 

I actually never got her bodice to close all the way Also, I never got a chance to get Gwendolyn, the fire faery. I think you made her outfit too, right? Any pictures of her?

 

Her wig and eyes look great! where did you get them?
It's great that she has an updated look! I need a new wig for mine but I haven't decided what style I want for her.

It doesn't entirely surprise me that the bodice doesn't close up all the way- I've learned so much about sewing since then, I was such a baby when I was making these 10 years ago. I actually sew professionally for theater now- and looking back this was my first real professional sewing I did.

I'll have to figure out how to mesh DOA with the modern technology of cell phones to post a photo but yest I have Gwendolyn! I will post photos of both my girls soon... I have one of the Bwkas too though I don't know where he is right now. :\

I hope to re-dress mine both sometime soon- I know I've learned so much, there are some things I'd do differently now.

They're my burning building dolls too! I feel like they could never be replaced while my others probably could!
