Hello, I'm Dottie! I run my own Etsy shop, as well as customizing BJDs and Monster High dolls!

A collab with @nonasuch ! Making little doll jewelry, just a few to test if people like it. If so, I'll make more!

[lemondread]

Okay, we've got some little ladies to be made into jewelry! It's been a long time since I've used china paints and porcelain, and they're very small (pictured in a butter dish), but I think they're cute so far!

All projects were on hold due to a head cold 😓

Hm, I think I'll go back and try a different sculpted lash shape. I'm trying to evoke "moth" but we're not there yet.

Playing around with a kikipop that's been sitting on my Lost Dolls Bin for a long time.

Well my Rasendou Touya is in one piece, for the first time in a very long time! I think someone could work on her for one hundred more hours, fixing bubbles, perfecting joint shapes, covering her flaws, but for now she is the best she's ever been. I quickly printed some new hip and knee joints so she has a little bit more function.

For now, I'll enjoy my 'new' doll and move on to another project!

I have a strange feeling that I shouldn't permanently alter dolls, but I think it's not that serious 🤔 The Rasendou bodies have so many problems, it wouldn't really be worth preserving the default state!

[lemondread]

You know, it's funny how much I enjoy painting tattoos on dolls given that I don't have any tattoos. I'm too fickle to commit to permanent ink!

I was gifted a Rasendou Touya and she's been in a box for a while. She's very rough, lots of air bubbles, but I enjoy trying to make something not conventionally ideal beautiful!

I've been gone for a while :) Right now I'm working on some little porcelain dolls that will get made into jewelry.

I've had worsening depression for a long time, but have been working hard to make changes in my life. Trying to build a life worth living is slow, but creating is meaningful to me. So maybe posting a record will be helpful; I used to like doing that!

I've been practicing at making my own lace!

I impulse bought a Unoss Seina and I love her SO MUCH!!! I plan to paint her robo-parts still, but I'm so happy with how her new faceup looks so far. Every wig I've tried on her looks good, and she came with her original outfit and accessories which I am actually very into.

Maybe I was just so jealous of @dollsonmain 's recent Unoss acquisition I had to jump on the opportunity to get one too <3 Maybe one day I will get the opportunity to paint one with the original sculpted lashes... B)

I've been playing around with these little UFDoll heads that came as extras with some blind box dolls! I'm making some Baldur's Gate 3 character dolls out of them 😄

I used uv resin to build up some elf ears, sand them to shape, and airbrush to match.

I finally finished these neon color Mucha beaded patches! :D I think I'll do more of these, the color is intoxicating to worth with.

I'm going to try and start posting again so that I have evidence to myself that I actually do Stuff!

I got this shirt and made this dress out of it because it makes me laugh every time I look at it 🤣

[lemondread]

Today I got to play around with some Blythe dolls today with @nonasuch ! I'm still not confident with carving or painting, but maybe with some practice I can get somewhere 🤔
