What is Your Grail Prop?

I was sitting here thinking my prop desires have all been fulfilled. Until someone mentioned cats... The Emerson's lack Bastet or Anubis when relaxing in the library or the camp. Would they be considered a character or a prop, hmmm.... I go look at the bjd cat options occasionally & try to settle upon the best 1/3 scale size but can't bring myself to proceed once I get to the price. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

@Teddy , the American girl Tea cart is almost too short for my adult 60cm BJDs but is chunky enough to look proportional with the Dollstown elf & Volks sd 10 body. I've happily used one in many settings for photos. Are there any drop leaf tables offered in that market?

 

For me, it used to be chairs. It still kind of is. But I have no where to put them. Elves like to sit sometimes!

 

A 1/4 scale loom is the dream... I know it *could* be DIY-ed, but I just don't really have the space or equipment right now to do woodworking that intricate.

 

I crave a 1/3 size bicycle, but I just don't have the space really - I have a doll's pram for my child SDs and a rocking horse, but they just aren't used enough to justify the storage space, although the rocking horse is a thing of beauty, so sits on its own shelf on display. The pram is just too big, although it does look really great when the girls play with it.

Oh and I've always wanted my child SDs to have a to-scale dolls house...but again the space issue would make it prohibitive...(I have some modern young adults on one shelf and some victorian children on the other - they are supposed to be representative of generations of one family, and there has been a certain amount time travel at one point...)

And now I think of it, a friend has a perfect scale leather sofa with a button back and tiny wheels... I envy her!

 

I have been looking for a sofa/ couch /chair that's timeless but modern design for SD size (60cm-70cm dolls) and have found Minshdoll. But.. they're quite expensive. Right now im waiting to se if I want it. or find another. The quality looks great and I keep coming back to it. and have done so for over 6 months now... biggest concern is funny enough the size ( and price). where will I store that thing when it is not used and will I really be using it "enough" to justify the price...

 

My "grail" is a home with enough space that I can dedicate an entire room to dolls and crafts. Then I'll have space for things like dolly furniture!

 

Hmm I'd love my girl's sword, without needing to make it myself I know people can make custom ones, or i could buy files for a sword somewhere, but how I imagine it doesn't look like any of them, and a to scale fishing net (again I could probably make this from twine but still xD). It'd be fun to have a whole themed display area for her and her friend, but I'd need a bigger bookshelf for that, and I'm not very good at picturing what the furniture or things like that should look like.

What I'd really love, but it's not really a prop is to scale fabric for clothing, but I am not at all motivated or in possession of enough executive function to learn how to do that and build a proper loom for it lol

 

Hi Kathel - the tables for AG sized dolls are all too low to work for my fgang - they work OK as child-sized/"nursery" furniture but not for adult furniture. They need something between 1/3 scale and 1/2 scale

Even though they're close to actual half scale (a 4ft tall nine year old would be a 2ft tall BJD, roughly speaking) actual half-scale furniture looks TOO big. But 1/3 scale furniture looks too small to be adult-sized for them.

I have a large craft room (sewing mostly) but there's not enough space for dolls in there too

I would like a laboratory and a huge cage for SD. And a roombox in the shape of an industrial loft apartment with columns and giant metal windows.

 

A 1/3 Kawasaki Ninja. I'd make room, somewhere...

 

A queen-sized bed. I never see those for dolls
