I bought this lovely pair of outfits from SweetDaisy on Mercari. I know her from various Facebook doll groups. She's a total delight. These outfits were sold as Iplehouse EID/HID size, but I decided to push the envelope in the smaller direction. Even like this, they're still very nice outfits! My Iplehouse SID Eva (large bust) is wearing the one with the large blocks of colors. It is incredibly cute and incredibly attractive! The top slips over Eva's bust and is held by elastic. The separated sleeves do the same. The skirt is so long and pretty! I especially love how it hugs Eva's hips fairly low. It is such an attractive look. The bag has a little starfish on it, too. So cute! My Dollmore Model Doll Leah is wearing the dress. This is a bigger ask of this outfit with respect to it being primarily for the EID/HID body. There's actually a whole corset top that I didn't even bother trying to use on Leah since it's obviously for bustier dolls. However, I think the dress looks very cute as-is. It's another fun, flirty, summery fit of a dress. This dress also carries over the starfish motif. I am so glad both starfish are able to show on these outfits with Leah and Eva wearing them because it really makes them look like the cutest of couples. Leah's dress also comes with a purse with a strap so long that I made it cross her body. I will try these outfits on my EID Jessica in the future, especially to try the corset top, but I think they're plenty cute on Leah and Eva. I am especially charmed by Eva's new look!

I did my first experiment in BJD wiring in over 10 years yesterday. My Iplehouse EID Jessica was my test subject. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm upset that I'll have to open up the hole in her left elbow peanut because it's a bit narrower than the right one. I looked down the both of them, and you can see how the left peanut has a bit of extra resin inside an indentation that appears to be the guide for how big the hole should be. I know, don't breathe in resin dust. I'll take it outside and wear a mask. One interesting thing I encountered was with the JID elastic I used. I bought a bunch of JID elastic when I last got some clothes and shoes from Iplehouse. I know I have to restring my JID Tania, so I got more than enough. Anyway, each pack of elastic from Iplehouse contains two precut strands of elastic. One of them was too short to go from wrist to wrist on the EID, so I used both of them and tucked both knots inside the torso. I think the way things are set up now, I have a very workable setup. I may experiment with 14 gauge wire, but it would probably be for the best to stick with 12 gauge wire for extra stability and durability. I've had this wire in my Dollmore Model Doll Leah's legs for over 10 years, and I haven't had to replace it at all. Plus, 12 gauge is easy to find at the hardware store. They just cut it off of a reel for you if you don't want to buy a whole lot. I got like 20 feet of it way back when. I still haven't used it all.

I saw this doll on eBay the other night, but there wasn't a brand name or anything particularly identifying that I could see in the listing. Since it could very well be a recast, I don't particularly want this one, but I'd like to know the maker, if possible. Does anyone recognize her?

It's time for a little bit of cheesecake romance in the workplace! Don't worry, my ladies here are just having a little role playing fun at home I got these Smart Doll clothes from Obsidian Doll Shop. They were the business lady sets. I got them in two colors. I think it was the last two they had. They're not a bad fit on my Dollmore Model Doll Leah. The outer snap of the top snaps a bit iffy, but it holds. My Iplehouse SID Eva is too... gifted... to fit in the top. I had to really strain the top just to get it to snap at the one snap. It wouldn't wrap around all the way. Oh well. I don't mind having both of these for Leah. I think these outfits fit her personality better anyway. Plus, I really love these clothes. They're so well made. They're so soft to the touch, too. They must be really comfortable to wear. I'm so glad I got them for Leah. She's going to love them for years to come. I also used this clip-on light with my cell phone in its lowest intensity natural light setting. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8SVTSV5?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 The photos turned out pretty well, I'd say. The lighting really helps in this spot, and if you remember some of the photos I've taken in this spot, lighting was a big challenge.

I feel like there's so much variety in the hobby now, it's hard to pick just one favorite, but if you had to pick a favorite BJD company or artist, who would you choose? What draws you to them? Personally, I really love Peaks Woods! Their face sculpts have a peculiar style that I'm drawn to, especially the lips and the creases around the eyes. And their faceups are just so incredible, I have 2 and they're just so lovely irl!

We had a great doll meet in New York City despite the rain outside! We were indoors and safe, and we had a fantastic doll meet with one of the biggest varieties of dolls and doll activities we've had in a while. We had resin dolls, vinyl dolls, large dolls, tiny dolls, restringing, piggyback rides, and even a centaur! My Iplehouse nYID Olivia made a Smart Doll friend, too! Check out my full album of photos because there's no way I can capture it all in this post. https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBgXga

I totally feel we need this thread. Lets talk about Volks resin/bjd dolls~ Everything is game. ~~~~~ I am really excited to try for Lies! I really like Luna too, but she's a bit too duckface for me. They both have really lovely sets even though I'm pretty sure if I got Lies I'd sell that dress. I do think there is no way I'm going to win her. She's always so hard to win cause of the sheer volume of people entering. I wish everyone luck who goes for either Lies or Luna!

Here is Olivia in a cute classic Iplehouse dress. I picked this one up secondhand last year. I already had one of these, but there were some good items for sale, and I figured my girls couldn't have too many dresses. This is an older denim dress from Iplehouse. I guess it was made to fit on both nYID and SID. My first one has been on both my nYID Olivia and SID Eva plenty of times over the years. This particular dress I got last year didn't come with the original black panties and the stockings. The original panties are nice and functional, and I think the original stockings are really cute and unusually thick and warm. However, I didn't bemoan the lack of original pieces. I took this as an opportunity to mix and match fashions to spruce up this dress in my own way! So, I used an older SID lingerie set that also has worked out well for my nYID Olivia. I started with the panties, but then I put the corset on her. I never really liked the corset, but it has suspender straps, and it would be getting covered up by the dress. I squeezed the dress over the corset, hooked up the stockings from the lingerie set to the suspenders, and ended up with a super flattering long stockings short skirt look with exposed suspender straps! I also matched the outfit with these cute black shoes. Finally, I added this purse that was a bonus piece to the Iplehouse clothes I got last year, and I took some photos of Olivia in her new ensemble! Isn't she cute? I have an idea floating around in my head for a fun "friends hanging out" photostory where Eva and Olivia meet up wearing the same dress. It's going to be so much fun!

It's Jessica's turn for an Iplehouse EID fashion show! Woo hoo! These are some of the clothes I got for her from Iplehouse recently. First thing, I did not try the Nude Pink Lingerie set on her. My SID Eva is still wearing that, and I think it's going to be exclusively hers. There's just something special about it when it's on her. It is billed as being EID and SID compatible, but it belongs to Eva. Second, I tried the Punching Blouse Set which is supposed to be versatile enough to go from the SID medium bust to the EID large bust, but Jessica's EID large bust was not being contained by the top. I don't know. I could try it again, as it laces up the back, but I don't know. I also figured I'd try the shorts since at least I could have a good pair of shorts for Jessica, but they wouldn't clear her thighs. I could try pulling them up harder. Maybe in the future. So, the first photo is of the Emerald Underwear set. I know I said I wasn't going to have so many lingerie photos anymore, but I'll get through this one quick. It's pretty, and it's a nice color. I didn't even have to loosen the bra straps all the way to make it fit. I think this set would pair nicely with a dark colored robe, which I have! It could be a nice photoshoot. Next up is the Wild Sexy set for HID. Yeah, that's a size up from EID, but I decided to chance it. The fitment is weird. The top does not want to contain her properly. I was afraid to take a photo from any higher up because she might've been having a wardrobe malfunction. I guess the HID shape is significantly different enough to make the top not a good fit for EID. I rolled the dice on this one, so I have nobody to blame. I could see the top working nicely with a bra underneath, peeking out of the top, so I might try that in the future. The torn jeans shorts work nicely, too. Finally, Jessica is modeling the Brown Knit set. This one is compatible with EID and HID, all bust sizes. The top wraps around and ties in the back, so it's versatile. It's a pretty set that fits nicely on Jessica! I like it! The skirt's perhaps a bit long for my liking, but it's very lovely. The top is a good fit. The set even comes with a very flattering necklace. I have left Jessica in this outfit and will probably leave her in it for a while. She looks so beautiful wearing it.

I unfortunately didn't get out to the South Jersey doll meet today due to the snow you see in the background of these photos. I took these photos as the sun was going down. I got Leah dressed in this winter dress just in case we got enough snow to make this photoshoot possible. I missed my opportunity with the snowfall this past Tuesday since it had already melted, so I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it again. The first four photos are in my new back yard next door! Me and my dad bought the house next door. I think it'll have some new photo opportunities in the future. You'll see the tree in the last photo. That's in my old back yard. That didn't happen today. That happened during the extreme wind last month.

Leah and Eva - A Lovely Valentine's Day Evening (Mildly Suggestive)
Gamma Ray posted a topic in Resin BJDs
And here's my final Valentine's Day photostory for the big day. This one was a lot of fun to put together, with the props and the poses and the outfits. I really am in love with those pink shoes! I'm fully aware I donked up the Iplehouse Nude Pink Lingerie that Eva's wearing. I should've put the train belt under the corset. I never would've thought to put anything under a corset except for maybe a catsuit, but I'm not exactly the target demographic for corsets. Anyway, please enjoy a sweet and loving time with this photostory, and I hope you're having a Valentine's Day full of love!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Here are a few more photos of Eva modeling the Nude Pink Lingerie set from Iplehouse. This is a little preview of my upcoming Valentine's Day photostory. I took all of these pics with Eva partly freestanding, but she had the hutch behind her for something to fall back on if she didn't stay upright. I wanted to keep a doll stand from interfering with the train. And gosh, what a train! What lingerie in general. I wanted to take a few photos of this lingerie before I take it off her because I don't know when I'll use it again, and it's just so gorgeous. It's only going to come out on very special occasions, like my bridal lingerie sets.

Tania, Stephanie, Madalaine - Watching 80s TV Shows With My Daughters After School
Gamma Ray posted a topic in Resin BJDs
It's after school! My daughters' homework is done, and we're watching a lot of 80s TV shows before supper! My BJD daughters Tania and Stephanie are here, and my Momoko Doll daughter Madalaine has decided to join us. They may spoil their appetite for supper a bit with popcorn, but we had such a great time that I can overlook it just for today. -
How many of us also have anime styled resin dolls? Where did you get your resin doll from? I'm still waiting on my HDF31 Coco 😫

I took a few photos of Leah as we're getting into the middle of fall. I actually had one more photo, but it didn't turn out right. My phone couldn't get the focus right, and I couldn't influence the focus because I was already doing so much else off camera to make the posing work. Leah is wearing the Iplehouse SID cat clothes. This time it's the kitty overalls and the kitty crop top shirt. I think this outfit works very nicely on the Dollmore Model Doll body. It fits Leah well, and the Model Doll legs make this cute overall skirt an extra lovely show of legs, with much of Leah's beautiful thighs showing yet the overalls are still very nicely covering Leah's lower body. This is the first time I'm using these Dollmore boots and the Sophia's umbrella. While these boots are new, I had to glue the heels pretty much right after taking them out of their bag. Oh well. While I don't think these boots are specifically for the Model Doll high heel feet despite the moderately sized heel in the boots, the high heel feet with their extreme high heel arch worked well enough inside the boots. I was relieved to not have to change Leah's feet. In hindsight, I'm not sure if these boots were the best choice for the outfit, but I just really wanted to use them. I'll probably use this outfit with Leah's white high heels next time. Maybe her black high heels. The Sophia's umbrella is something I got from Aimee and Daria's Doll Outlet in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It's a very nice little umbrella, with a wraparound tie-down and also a little click when the umbrella is fully opened. It's also lighter than the umbrellas I got in the past which helps Leah to handle it. It even has a little band on the handle that you might be able to use to help a doll hold the umbrella. The only criticism I have is that I wish it spanned just a bit bigger, but it's still great in its own right.

I'm planning to make custom eyes for my DD and Angelphilia girls. In order to make the eye bases I've been looking at silicon moulds, to use with uv cure resin. All of the ones I can find are shaped like this, with a round hole in the middle to place the printed design: (Image by VelvetWay on Etsy) However, I want to make eyes that look more like these with a flat top, no hole: (Image by Kakusorkr on Twitter) I've mostly seen creators in the Japanese side of the hobby do it this way. From what I see, the eye base is made, the printed eye stuck on top, and then covered in a layer of clear resin. I really like the way it looks. I've been looking for moulds for this shape but I can't find any, does anyone know if they exist? I suppose I could make a custom shape with epoxy and create a silicon mould for it (tips on how to do this with silicon are welcome!) but I'd rather buy a mould if possible! I'd be open to commissioning one as well if anyone offers this type of service? Thank you for any advice or insight you may have! ♡

Good day guys! I'm really new to Smarts dolls but I'd like to switch as I wasn't as much as satisfied as I was before with my last and unique resin doll (Minifee Chloe). I always read dolldreaming forum topics, even before they changed to this new forum (I was just very shy to join!). My issue is the next, having the next considerations: I'm from Chile, Quarantotto doesn't ship Internationally and Faithz doesn't have that type of head or any similar to the one I'd like to have. I'd like to buy it on White skin (as my boyfriend prefer that skin - it's our first proyect together!). I saw that AP body it's on the skeleton of an Obitsu48 so, If I'm correct, neck circunference should be 8.5 cm, right? If I wanted to ''fit'' this resin head http://dolkus.com/detail.php?id=46186, that is 7cm, I would have to modify the head and the neck? Would it look to strange? Also that head is only on Antique coral and I'd like to acquire a White skin head, If I decide to go for it, would it be dificult to do a skin match? Thanks guys! I'll be waiting for some wisdom here !

Anyone familiar with the company AIMERAI? I have all Volks resins & thought I'd like to explore something else. I'm getting their little cutie, Nya from the site "FAITHZ.com", she's 26cm & a bigger size, a slim MSD, Momoko. There are many sites that sell Aimerai, 2 in the US are Denver Doll Emporium & The Doll Peddler. Thought it would be fun to try something different... can hardly wait to play with them!!

Mystic Kids is a resin BJD brand that I came across thanks to a friend directing me to a particular shopping site. I do not know much about their This was my first BJD and what got me into the hobby of larger dolls. Since she is a resin doll and has these long elf ears I keep her on a shelf in the bedroom. I am always scared of doing too much with her and breaking her! I would like to buy a nice glass case to put her in and have some forest elf style clothing put together for her. Her name is Leilah and she is a "Elisa Elves" sculpt by Mystic Kids.
