Elfdoll 14cm TinyDoll discussion Part 4

[CasaDolceCasa]

I hope so Teseya! I really like sewing, and my challenge is to sew for a so tiny girl! I think I'll have fun with it!

You have 5 elfdoll I think. Do you have a picture of them 5?

[calliope13]

Casa - post #89 has Teseya's 5 little ones in it I believe.

This thread has lost plenty of action over time. I know I haven't had much time for any of my dollies as I am swamped with real life problems. Did pick up some new dolly clothes that just arrived the other day. Will be trying them on and hopefully posting this week (sized 1/12th scale). They are for one of my off-topic dolls but most of it should be able to be shared with the elfdolls. The body suit looks waaaaay too skinny to fit, but I will try it anyways.

i too am still here, have been meaning to post new photos of my girls but time just hasn't been right yet, and now a trip to my home country is coming up.
i'll be back mid September and hopefully posting more to this thread again!

[linakauno]

I'm still here too. I'm organizing my doll space so I have places to play and photograph. It drives me crazy to be so scattered. I have dolls all over the place. Still love all my tiny girls, though.

[CasaDolceCasa]

Great! I'm not a newbie alone in this thread! ; ) I think that I'll receive my doll in 5 hours! How difficult it is to wait!!! ; ) I'll post new pictures and hope it will tempt you to come back here again to show your dollies.

I saw an elf in my garden few minutes ago...; )

[CasaDolceCasa]

Then, she came in my home and her eyes became blue, it was the sign that she was adopted...
She told me it was too cold in my house (because of the climatisation...) and put new socks on and a pullover...



You know what? I think I just found in love...

[CasaDolceCasa]

oh girls, are you also anxious to break the ears when you put the wig on? And, do you think it's wax that was put to put in place the eyes? Sorry for my bad english... If you don't understand what I say, do not hesitate to tell me. ; )

[annina]

congratulations on your new little elf, she is very cute!

my girls ears are not as long as the new ones, so i don't know, but if they are a little in the way, maybe you can cut a little in the edge of the wig so it can go around the ears and fits on better? in case that is the problem..

i'm not sure what exactly elfdoll uses to fix the eyes, some kind of eyeputty but i'm not the best person to ask, i have never changed eyes
but i heard you can also use silicone earplugs, the material can be shaped.
all i know is that one should not use anything with oil in it because it would not be good for the resin.

have fun with your new girl, and do you know her name yet?
i often take quite a while to find their name.

[CasaDolceCasa]

Hello Annina,

Yes, it's the problem with the wig, it doesn't fit well and fall, but I'm also afraid to break them because they are stuck in the wig... When I will be sure of which wig I will take, I'll cut.

In fact, I change her eyes to put her 6mm eyes. Thanks for the information concernant the oil! ; )

Yes, she's got a name! I wanted a sexy name for her : Lola!

[Teseya]

I use wall tacky (white) to hold their wigs on. Even if the wig fits...their heads are just too small to hold them on without it. I've changed eyes before too...but I've just kept the putty elfdoll uses for them...Mio, my Min, has red eyes...which took me forever to find...but I found great ones and extras from Dreamingtree studios on etsy.
Congrats on you adoption of Lola, Casa...and thanks for the pics.

[alexisbears]

CasaDolceCasa: Congratulations on the arrival of your tiny fairy! She's lovely, and even more so with her new eyes I think. The colour really works for her and the 6mm size is perfect.
I would second using tacky white glue (PVA) to help with keeping the wig in place. Just a little dab on the top is enough to hold the wig on, but you can peel it off the resin if you need to later.
Also, I always use silicone ear plugs in place of eye putty with all my dolls now. It's much easier to use than putty I find, and nice and clear - you never get little putty blobs showing next to the eyes.

I am missing my little Feather. She has been staying at my friends house while my lovely friend makes her some boots, but real life is so busy that it has been months since I have seen her. I blame this for my weakness lately in the marketplace... I have a tiny elfdoll friend for Feather travelling home. I am excited to meet her, but I fear she will not be very happy with me when she arrives... I don't have a stitch of clothing for her to wear yet!

[CasaDolceCasa]

Thanks Teseya! I go and have a look at the dreamingtree studio! ; )

Alexisbears : I'm sure that you will prepare her a beautiful knitting clothing as soon as you can! ; ) Which model of elfdoll are you waiting for?

I'm preparing clothes as well for my tiny lyn, I began to make a kind of corset. Lot of fun, and lot of pain.. ; ) I'll show you as soon as it will be ended. I also found a great box for the elfdoll to travel : glasses box!!! they are so little ones!

[Teseya]

yes, glasses box...I have one for each of my little elfdolls...they are perfect aren't they?
and bears -who is it? who's coming to give Feather company? *insatiably curious*

[sharsachan]

I wanted to poke in and say hi and introduce myself.... I'm Shara and I'm in love with tinies. I currently have 3 of the Elfdoll tinies, Sylph, Adel, and Olivia. I have the older editions of Sylph and Adel and hope to someday find Lyn as well. I have the new version of Olivia but I've given her a different wig. I currently have Dodo on layaway in the marketplace and she will be home within 2 weeks. I'm going to wait for her to get home before I take a group pic and post it. I work full time, go to college full time, and have 3 kids so I apologize if I post sporadically. I love the tinies so much

[CasaDolceCasa]

Hi Sharsachan! Welcome in this thread! I'm also a newbie but with only one doll : the lyn that misses you... ; )
I really 'd like to look at your girls! Come quick little dodo!

[imajica]

Here is my Darling Shanni. My first tiny doll all those years ago. I love her

oh! I really like her half closed eyes!

[clochette]

Doll Peddlar had a bunch of Elfdoll tinys at BJDC, so you might check there for your Lin.

Here's my Dodo, Shortie, to tide you over as you wait (she's with Nissa (Sylph) at a meetup)

I cant' help myself looking at the shoes. Did you make them by yourself clochette?
