All About Dolls

I haven't done hardly any quilting lately.  Instead I've been bitten by the doll collecting bug again.  This time it's not Tonner dolls, though, but ball jointed dolls.  I've been sewing for them, reading about them on Den of Angels, looking at them online, and ordering some.  Quilting has simply been put on hold for the most part.

I've ordered several new dolls, six to be exact, that are taking several months before being sent to me, which is normal for this type of doll.  They are pretty much made to order.    I also purchased 2 used dolls off DOA, one from Ebay, and a new doll from Junky Spot because I needed some instant gratification.  Here's a picture of the one from Junky Spot, which is a MYOU Matcha.

She is a 16" child doll and I made her dress.  I don't have any shoes for her yet, though.  She's a fun size to make clothes for because of her larger size.  I have dolls as small as 3" tall and clothes for them have to be sewn by hand, which I don't mind, but it's more fun sewing for these larger dolls.  

This weekend I'll be going to a BJD retreat and am looking forward to that.  I signed up for a workshop on how to make wigs from Tibetan lamb pelts.  We'll see how that goes.  I've purchased some of those pelts, but was afraid to try making wigs with them in case I ruined them.

Here are some more pictures of my ball jointed dolls, just for fun.

These two dolls are from Fairyland.  The larger one is a 10" Realfee Chiwoo and the smaller is a 6 1/2 inch Pukifee Mio.

 Another doll made by Fairyland is a 16" Minifee Liria.

 This one is a 14" Narsha basic from Dollmore.

Last but not least is this precious little Lati White Yui who is just 4 3/4" tall.
