Vermont Doll Lovers meetup, 08/08/2015

Total attendees = 7. VTDL welcomed two new attendees today. Besides regulars vermont chick, Lyrajean, Melface,  Nerdy Victorian, and me [Modern Wizard], Eris and A. showed up with many of Eris' in-progress projects [which explains the number of naked, hairless, paintless dolls]. Pictures follow.

vermont chick's blog post with her photos is here.



Dolls brought today and not pictured [because they can be found in other entries on this blog] are as follows:

  • vermont chick's Alchemic Lab Unoa Lusis [in pink dress], Alchemic Lab Unoa Sist [in black and white], and Alchemic Lab Unoa Sist [in floral sundress].
  • Lyrajean's Xagadoll Sylvia, Custom House Ais Yuriel and Sariel, Alchemic Lab Unoa Lusis, and Volks Dollfie World Cup 1 head on Volks body.
  • Nerdy Victorian's Maskcat Ronia.
  • Melface's SoulDoll Cubarem, Dollzone Carter, Fairyland Minifee Rin, Soom Faery Legend Kremer.
Eris' dolls:
MGA Entertainment My Best Friend [in back, with blond hair] corrals some more in-progress friends. From left to right, Hujoo Mini Freya, Hujoo Wings Girl, and Obitsu 25cm soft bust with cute fairy head. Eris handmade the glittery green eyes.

A close-up of the MGA Entertainment My Best Friend. These dolls came out in 2009, but proved to be a bust, despite their clear superiority over the Mattel American Girls in the form of sweeter headsculpts and better poseability. Eris scored this one for 50c at a charity sale and plans to fix her up nicely.

Lyrajean's dolls:

The Spiritdoll Bastet, who showed up unpainted and unclothed last time, now has a faceup, an outfit, and a litter of Sylvanian Family kittens.




Another Spiritdoll Bastet to be the first's spouse.

Volks Yo-SD Kira pushes Eris' Hujoo Mini Freya in Lyrajean's baby carriage.

I envy the props Lyrajean finds, including this music box chair, which plays Für Elise when you wind up the seat. Its delicate frame is much more in scale than the usual chunky doll furniture one finds in this size. Volks Chiyo looks rather traumatized to be spun about in what we called the Haunted Chair.

Volks Date Masamune has a new faceup.

Spiritdoll Camellia, Lyrajean's massive 1:2 scale BJD, sports an equally massive bonnet decorated by Lyrajean.


Melface's dolls:

Dream High Studios, known for its <15cm "micro BJDs," also makes this adorable 25cm Hiro, who comes standard with jointed hands. Perfect for jazz hands or telling how big the one was that got away.

Alchemic Lab Unoa L-bi has a sweet face.

He looks really good in pastels!

My dolls:
Yamarrah wonders if her dentist is missing some false teeth... Yamarrah is an Iplehouse Addiction Doria head on a Domuya Flexi body, with Mirodoll bust piece and Soom Monthly Doll Topaz hands.

I guess I never knew that Araminthe [B&G Dolls Burrysa snarling] was so hostile to teddy bears!

She's also pretty sure that this is not how you play Musical Chairs.


Nerdy Victorian's dolls:

Volks Kira ignores the hoopla and tends to her needlework. Nerdy Victorian made her dress and painted the Adirondack chair on which she perches.

vermont chick's dolls:

Doll Chateau Ada has been repainted and given a cheerful stripey outfit, both by vermont chick.

vermont chick brought 3 of the same sculpt, probably just to confuse me. :p This is Dollmore Judith Maxima Suntan Zinna.

Dollmore Judith Ballerina Kid Pirouette Zinna has en pointe feet [not shown] and a lovely tutu.

I like the narrow, partly closed eyes.

This is Dollmore Judith Bitter Biscuit Zinna with a dramatic confection of a dress.
