Whoops.

Whoops. by Ev's Dolls ♫, on Flickr

Are the elastics I used too thin or am I just too strong..? lol. I was just trying to tighten her strings... really XD

Lol, note the S-hook on the floor on the left XD

I'd say there was a flaw in the elastic, cause I've seriously manhandled mine before and never had any of it break!

[Evelien]

Hmm, okay.
The thing is, I have a spare package of the same string lying around, but I might wanna buy thicker string..? I used 3mm now, is that too thin for an MSD..? I thought I read somewhere that I should use 3mm for an MSD sized doll, so that's what I got, but when I took her apart the first time I noticed that her old string was thicker than the new stuff I got.

LOL poor dollieh.

I'd say go up a little bit. I'd go as thick as you can, because it seems a lot more sturdy.

I'm SO ashamed. I crossposted this picture on a Dutch BJD forum today and within 5 minutes two people replied asking whether it was the string itself that snapped, or if it was just the knot I tied that came loose...

XD

Would you believe that I never even considered the latter? Gosh I feel stupid XD

What body/brand is that? She's got cute legs and hands.

I'm going to guess Asleep Eidelon (or however you spell that) But I'm not sure. That's just my guess.

Nope, she's Angell-Studio Leira, milky white skin . (French resin)

Put her back together yesterday, used the string that came loose and just tightened it a bit, PLUS I did a hot glue treatment on her and put some wire (laundry line lol) in her arms and legs. I loooove her even more now!!!!! She feels SO much sturdier!!

[kittyasauras]

I find that hilarious because I had just been looking on AS website. xD haha
The dolls are very lovely! But I do not think I would want french resin. :O
