Was poking around YJ and found this doll. I was wondering what she was made from since the fingers splay out like an old Kelly body. Then I organized by price and, boom, found it. She is made from a World Doll/World Kids/Whatever doll. See? She's wearing Holland's dress. Those dolls are so cute, I just wish Canada wasn't so danm boring. Blue eyed blond in a faux Hockey jersey. Couldn't we have been a redhead or something? I'm getting Deja Vu...I bet I have whined about that before.
Phew! I thought Mammy's Parlor was gone. Turns out she just got her own domain name. It's an awsome site with lots of vintage dolls on it. As well as looking for the sake of looking, it can also be helpful in IDing dolls.
AHAHA! WOW. LITTLE GREEN MEN. They are kinda hot, too. Something about Asch's facial screening reminds me of Momoko. Attack of the Anime Toys has a set too. Oh gawd...now I want one. -_-
Look what I came across. Custom Plum Puddin'and owl made with Babyz doll and pet.
Something I'd do if I had fat stacks of cash is set up deals with custom doll clothing makers where I'd send them some supplies and, I don't know, $30 US or something and say "Make me a doll outfit for X doll body that's worth $30 of your labour." Anything they want. Then, when it's finished I'd pay shipping to get it back and they keep any useable leftovers.But isn't the value of labour in the eye of the beholder? Well, $30 isn't that much when you have fat stacks and I'd go with people that seemed good for it. Plus, I'd post photos with a list and photo of what was sent. If I send a 1/4 metre of fabric, matching threads and 1/4 metres of trim and recieve a badly sewn and baggy halter dress with trim on the bottom of the front of the dress only, well, that doesn't reflect well on the maker. $30 isn't enough for anything super fancy, no labor intensive minature embroidery or anything but I probably enough for a nicely made dress/shirt and pants combo or something. It would be neat to send the same supplies to 2 or more different people and see what each one does with it XD
I've had a similar idea before that would use actual doll bodies. Pick my favorite hair color, my favorite Volks or Obitsu body, buy enough for 4 or so dolls then send that and the customizing fees to different artists, again with no rules expect to make me awsome dolls. Then I'd post a group shot with the 4 dolls to show how different each one's idea was even though they started the same. Neither idea will be happening any time soon though! (Wish me luck with my tickets folks! XD)
