    • @HalcyonStraits
      @HalcyonStraits ปีที่แล้ว

      The way that I ordered my LLT Doll was to contact them via email, but their preorder periods are infrequent. I would suggest following Julia on Instagram (instagram.com/juliacross666/ ) as that is where I hear about preorder announcements. Based on her recent activity, it appears there should be a opening soon.

      No, I do not make dolls, but rather I buy blank ones from the artists and style them. This doll is a Raccoon Doll Gene SD (th-cam.com/video/JKUGkmo_i24/w-d-xo.html) and she is on the Supia Dolls Ballerina Body (th-cam.com/video/3fby7z17SJg/w-d-xo.html).

      Glad to hear that the videos are enjoyable. I will back to sewing in the next few months I hope once life calms down a little bit. If you have ideas on what else would be interesting, please let me know. I make things as I experience them, but if there’s something you’re interested in, I can see if it can get worked in and filmed. 🙂

    I love that your dolls have underwear. That's so cute and makes them feel so much more complete.

    • @HalcyonStraits
      @HalcyonStraits ปีที่แล้ว

      I feel the same way. I do try to give them all undergarments if I can. The thong/panties sometimes get pulled in by the hip elastic/socket though which can be annoying.

      Nice! Depending on your doll’s foot length and width, these shoes might be a bit large on them. Iplehouse dolls have larger feet. I hope you’re able to get a nice pair for your doll!

    Wow! I hate removing faceups but the head looks brand new!

    • @HalcyonStraits
      @HalcyonStraits 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I find wiping faceups oddly satisfying. Just like restringing, the results are immediate, and usually achievable in 30 minutes. Everything else is much more incremental. 😅

  • @ditzie1

      Epsilon is the clear favorite, but it’s like home team advantage. I wanted to give Adan a fair shot. I put a poll on Instagram too, and Epsilon got basically a super majority vote there. 😄

      Liv did such a lovely job on them. SD sized dolls are a commitment for sure--especially when it comes to space. This scale is what I started with, and I'm at the point where it's too much work to change to a different scale. At least this sculpt has a mini version if you collect 1/4 scale.

    @radioactiveferrets 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just got my MSD Diana in today and I was wondering about the S hook for the head until you said it wouldn't ever fit. I forced mine to fit by somehow getting the larger part through the hole and pulling it through that way, but I'll look into getting a different one soon

    • @HalcyonStraits
      @HalcyonStraits 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Congratulations on getting your Diana! I don’t know if the S hook discrepancy is just Diana or all Dollshe dolls, but I was quite baffled at the weird sizing. If you got it through and it isn’t too much of a bother to take the head off as you need, then it may not be necessary to get a different one. I more knowing myself would be frustrated every time I needed to change her clothes, so I nipped that in the bud. Good luck!
