Weekly DQ: #7

This week's Dollieh Question from our list. (viewtopic.php?f=41&t=6677)

7. What else do you find yourself collecting thanks to dolls.

Sometimes I'll buy something like a mini doll for a prop and they end up having a life of their own. This kind of happen to my Dawn doll.

I collect other things like action figures. I think having my dolls helps with picking a size because then I can even pose them together.

Clothes, shoes, and wigs, mostly. I don't have ROOM for any more collections!

food and accessories for the 1/6ers and the 1/3ers

In some sense of the word cosplay outfits.

Because of them I hardly buy gshaphons, scale back on my my action figures, videogames and art books a whole lot. Somehow the whole cosplay thing is a result of them preventing me from getting too attached to any new anime I watch or game i play. They get new outfit and i get character of the moment as a doll

I collect Polly Pocket dolls now. I started collecting them as an excuse to have dolls for my dolls, but I'm not using them for that purpose at all LOL! I also collect mini groceries from a big Dutch supermarket chain that's having these mini groceries for a second time around, with every €15 of groceries you get a mini item, and most of them are perfectly in scale for MSD or SD. Plus, when I'm out shopping I find myself looking for props and cute fabric ALL the time. My favourite to collect is bracelets for my Minifee bodies <3, human rings that look like tiny bracelets are cheap and fun to collect!

I end up collecting stuff animals. I also have the beginnings of an eye collection.

[Linteia]

Kid's toy accessories and repurposeables. Dolls are more an extension of previous miniature and craft addiction, but larger scales make use of so many things I never thought of before.

Doll furniture, clothing and toys for the tinies. Finn's got a little collection of LaLaLoopsie micro figurines and little bitty animals now. The clothing isn't as bad as it could be and the furniture surprised me. There's the bench, a smaller bench, two lounge/beach chairs, a rocking chair and an SD-sized high-backed chair.

[Jany]

Miniature stuff, lots and lots and lots of it! I've found a surprising amount of miniature things considering I've only been in the hobby for a few months. (Has it really been that short?)
Evelien, I'm seriously jealous of those miniature groceries. I found some decorative apples that look pretty realistic at a craft shop (I think they were supposed to be ornaments), but that's it so far.

Material and yarn and stuff like that. I've always liked to crochet and sew a little but now that I have dolls 90% of what I do that way is doll centric. I don't crochet afghans anymore. I crochet doll clothes. I used to have a sewing machine mainly for repairs and making things like curtains and pillows, easy stuff, but I'm learning to sew properly, how to actually use patterns now because of them. I want to make good doll clothes, not just makeshift ones. I don't have any people patterns but I have pattern software on my computer and I have a drawer full of doll clothes patterns. I guess eventually I'll probably get to making myself some clothes too, have in the past a few things, but right now I make more for the dolls than I do for me.

Doll chairs. I can't seem to resist them!
