Sometimes it's a little frustrating to get into the nitty gritty of making diorama when you don't have the technical skills but the drive to materialize all your vision had to be bigger than the challenges being faced to finally say you've succeeded at giving them "life"... Whew, some thought there LOL! But, thanks for making me articulate my thoughts there, Anika :DShashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888152066791846443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177304086942766808.post-87268446208168695722015-03-14T00:35:36.203+08:002015-03-14T00:35:36.203+08:00When I see a new doll I ask the same questions.

If they speak they're given personality and then I decide all the particulars. They get that background and they're in :O)Dollz4Moihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386314679264566475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177304086942766808.post-48275923542380056662015-03-13T08:47:08.888+08:002015-03-13T08:47:08.888+08:00I think family stories are just fun!

I'll probably stick to just buddies for now, but who knows? I already once mentioned that one of my girls has a family already so once I find the right dolls to take on the roles, I may post a thing or two about them too :)Shashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888152066791846443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177304086942766808.post-10367973770466798222015-03-13T08:30:11.773+08:002015-03-13T08:30:11.773+08:00I love the changes you made to some of your dolls....I love the changes you made to some of your dolls. It completely changed their persona. I'm all about family when it comes to my dolls. I started stories for two reasons; 1) To get people interested in my Etsy store and 2) To show successful, happy Black families. The stories took on a life of it's own, so it has expanded to lots of different families.

When I see a new doll, there's always this question if she could fit in with the lifestyle at the atelier, though these girls don't live there. Relocating may not be necessary, but they had to visit every once in a while =D<br /><br />It's so nice for you to be able to keep your childhood dolls. I have only have one left, because my two younger brothers weren't very nice to most of them. I missed them but I'm glad I still have Diane ;) Shashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888152066791846443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177304086942766808.post-18184945259654825202015-03-11T07:47:42.222+08:002015-03-11T07:47:42.222+08:00Oh, Billa...

I guess we're kind of in the same frequency, making our dolls our models and having each one their own names and stories, all of them with attitudes we can relate to =)<br /><br />Yes, I think these Kesenia molds are super sexy...Shashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888152066791846443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177304086942766808.post-7594341094798115602015-03-11T05:49:58.732+08:002015-03-11T05:49:58.732+08:00Such a great question and I must say that I am a a...Such a great question and I must say that I am a abstract collector so to speak. As you know my Cara and Curtis are my original childhood dolls as well as my accessories from the 70's. Being that I built my dolls around them and created a family for them. The the HF dolls came along and they had AA grand parents so I just had to have them, which led to getting all the other HF dolls and most of their accessories. Then of course I need extended family members, neighbors, Bff, dogs etc!! I have two FR dolls that I brought off Doll Divas. My Dynamite Reese is still in her box because she looks like a present I don't want to unwrap!! I play and dress my dolls based on "their" personality so I haven't really gotten to the point where I have to have most of the new dolls that come out. Now theyhave to not only grab my attention but convince me to relocate them here in Dotsville.

I limit myself only to MM Barbies and FR, I've picked the perfect doll (IMHO) for each face sculpt and so far I've never been disappointed. It's a diffrent story with the Hommes, as I had to change a couple of hairdos.<br />The fact is, I use them as models for my fashions, and I want only dolls I can relate to as they were characters. Each of them has a story and a name, so maybe I fit in the "creative" pattern.<br /><br />Your girls are beautiful, I expecially love the two Kesenia.<br />Kisses Billabilla's dolls and fashionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469748679904970074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177304086942766808.post-25233400852078212112015-03-10T16:59:31.747+08:002015-03-10T16:59:31.747+08:00Hi there, Marta!
