*Waves from across the Atlantic*

Postby racoon » Wed Feb 15, 2012 7:58 am

I imagine most members of Dollieh Sanctuary are in the States? So hello from across the pond in the UK. I'm a doll artist who makes clothing shoes and wigs, and well, everything I can learn to make for dolls. I live in Wales (next door to England) and have a small collection of dollies, photos of which I'm currently editing to post here somewhere. I also have a sneaking suspicion that I'm WAY older than most other members. So make space for the grannies ;)

My collection consists of Ellowyne Wilde(s), Moxie Teenz, A token Barbie, and Monster High dolls. As well as a couple of retro British dolls like Pedigree Sindy and Palitoy Pippa.

I dream of Iplehous JIDs. My dream dolls, but ack, SO MUCH MONEY :(

Also, I've been wondering which categories to post my pictures in. For the moment it'll be the mixed scale section, but where do Moxie Teenz fit in? Under 1/6 scale or 1/4 scale?

*Waves from across the English channel*

Welcome! ^^ I like Ellowyne Wilde too, I have one at the moment. I actually started my doll collection with vintage Pippa-size dolls, Pamela Love. Do you know Sarah Louise from Debenhams? Pamela had the same body :)

I bought a second hand Iplehouse JID Ryan last week (he should arrive soon) and yeah, SO MUCH MONEY indeed, but omg what a body!!!

Hello fellow European :D and thank you. know the Sarah Louise dolls, they're like mini Sindys that Debenhams used to sell. I had to google the Pamela Love dolls, but I do recognise them.

Yeah those JIDs are so beautiful, *sigh* congrats on managing to buy one!

Thanks, he did cause me to be broke and I decided not to get any new dolls after him (besides the other two that are still on their way lol). And yep, Sarah Louise was like a mini Sindy :). Pamela Love was sold in the UK as Little Susana I think. I have two boxed Little Susana dolls that are exactly the same as my Pams, they were just sold under a different name.

I love your avatar by the way, is she a Too Wigged Out Ellowyne? She's lovely.

Welcome to the board! Moxie Teenz have been mostly shoved in the 1/6 category since they are shorter than 40cms plus they can even fit some Barbie clothes. Hope that helps! :D
A hobby isn't supposed to leave you wistful, regretful and vaguely disappointed. BJD collecting is as customizable as the dolls themselves. Do whatever pleases you the most, because otherwise, why do it at all? All for the 'Gram Bitches love the 'Gram.

I'm trying to save for a boy and a girl JID. Probably Ryan and Tatiana, but I could so use that money for the deposit on a flat, which is far more sensible, and not as much fun.

And yes! Thats the avatar, I have four Ells. Basic Too Blonde, Wigged out too, Essential Ell with glass eyes and wigs, and the convention Boo Who halloween doll with the pale skin. I love them all. The one without glass eyes has to suffer being the tailors dummy though, poor thing.

It does help, thank you :) I'm rubbish on these forum thingys, and constantly post things to the wrong places.

Welcome to the forum. We like pictures.
I have so many dolls that I can't fit all their names in my signature anymore. @__@
