versora I'm glad you have people in your life that support you, and that you have no dollieh shame! I started this thread because while I'm lucky in the fact that my family just sort of accepts all of my various hobbies and umbrella label it "Weird Artistic Shit I Don't Understand Because I'm Not An Artist", I've heard a lot of people say they get negative feedback from friends/family/whatever and I was curious if that influenced their hobby or their habits. It's influenced mine to sort of stay in my little corner until it's time to work on a specific project. I do that out of deference to my mother, who is creeped out by the random headless dolls.
Trethowan Ahhaha, it was, it was a "I must have you now!" moment!! When the doll came and I was IN LOVE with it, not just the character themselves but the detail, the poseability, articulation...I decided to investigate a little more and...well...the hobby exploded all over me.
