Day 14: Finn

Day 14 of my #dodadvent2021 : Finn! Did you know Sha and Camine have surprisingly similar faces, especially when you’re trying to track a Sha down? 🥲  Good thing they’re pretty… (This is how I ended up with 3 Camine at one point)

He’s called Finn for now as he didn’t seem to suit the character I’d hoped for him, it may change in future. (I’m quite proud of myself for actually posting these each day, usually I lose interest by now )

Day 13: Sebastian

Day 13 of my #dodadvent2021 : Sebastian! I think he's a gardener, he hasn't told me a lot about himself yet. He definitely needs a better faceup and some kind of styling to his wig 🤔

Day 12: Mika

Day 12 of my #dodadvent2021 : Mika! Don’t let his appearance fool you too much - he’s a pro gamer & streamer. I might make a SD sized computer desk room setup next year, I have a few dolls that would suit it for a photoshoot 🤔 (I did not get his hoodie finished in time for his photo, I will likely post that next month instead 🥲) 

Day 11 : Pepper

Day 11 of my #dodadvent2021 : Pepper! She needs a nice pair of rabbit ears and a tail, another project for 2022 😆  They have no idea if they're actually related but she and Tack consider each other cousins. She was my first tan doll 🥰  If I hadn't got her I may not have bought Kean the year after she came to me 😲 (Tack is a Soom Hawa!)

Day 10: Vanya

Day 10 of my #dodadvent2021 : Vanya! 🏳️‍⚧️ As he tells it: He was born a woman in Corinth, "Medea" - her tale is well-told - and as it came to an end Hekate took her from the human realm. There he became a daimon, Hekate agreeing to his desire to no longer be trapped in the body of a woman. Vanya is his "modern" chosen name - he is also known as Mormo, and Hekate goes by Lucina these days 😉

Day 9: Sylvian Kadmon-Uren

Day 9 of my #dodadvent2021 : Sylvian Kadmon-Uren! An older photo, here with his cousin Eden 💖 Sylvian is hugely into space, stars and planets along with photography. His aim is to get a photo with multiple shooting stars!

Day 8 : Melissa “Risa”

Day 8 of my #dodadvent2021 : Melissa “Risa”!

(Late, I know, was busy 😭)

Warning: fictional medical/health issues below!

She’s Dario’s daughter, and her random character fact: she has a genetic syndrome that causes muscle weakness and paralysis, and makes it unlikely she’ll reach adulthood. She also suffers from crippling migraines as a symptom.

Her parents and twin brother are very protective of her and work hard to make sure she has a happy life for as long as she’s with them.

Day 7: Reine Fayltae

Day 7 of my #dodadvent2021 : Reine Fayltae! Mil's sister, Sylvian's mother and Queen 👑 She's had a new faceup since this photo, and I'd like to get her a different wig. 2022 goal, perhaps?

Day 6 : Eden | Aurélie Fayltae

Day 6 of my #dodadvent2021: Aurélie “Eden” Fayltae! Eden 🥰🥰 my first bjd! She’s gone through a lot of (pretty subtle) changes since 2007 - several faceups, eye brands, wigs (I made her this one) and a whole new body (old DOC to new DOC)! She always keeps the same kind of look, just updated and refined a bit more each time. I still adore her and I’m so glad I got her all those years ago. 💖

Day 5: Arlen Fayltae

Day 5 of my #dodadvent2021 : Arlen Fayltae! A double shot today, I like both of these photos of him 😍 He's almost totally blind due to an accident when he's pretty young - he can see bright colours and vague shapes but no details.

Day 4: Kean Avery

Day 4 of my #dodadvent2021 : Kean Avery! (a bit late, but I wasn't feeling too well last night.) He still needs a new wig, it needs to be gradient dyed so it's not a huge priority when this one works fine for now.

Day 3: Antonella “Nell”

Day 3 of my #dodadvent2021 : Nell!

One of the few dolls I own that hasn’t settled into one of my main universes! I’m sure she’ll let me know where she fits at some point. I got her from another local owner when she was leaving the hobby, I thought that might be the reason but I also got E-An at the same time, she immediately told me she was Reine and she is Mil’s sister so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Day 2: Lucina

「A Warning」 Day 2 of my DOD Advent : Lucina! A goddess of magic and witchcraft. She’s going to get a better photoshoot later, at sunset and when I’ve made her a wax Hand Of Glory to light her way. (Also when her husband, Vanya, is finished 🥲)

Day 1: Evan Milsae Fayltae

Aiming to do an advent calendar of my dolls this year, so day 1: Mil! (Could it be anyone else, honestly.)

A photo back from his first Christmas in 2007 🥰  His hair’s an absolute mess with the wind and he was in a borrowed outfit but still I love this photo. Everyone there nearly froze their fingers off, too 🥶 It was worth it. I always wanted to do more photos in this setting but they remodelled the building so I think the space is gone now 😭 It’s kind of weird to look back at old photos of him, when now he’s WAY less pink, has a new faceup/eyes/wig...and still refuses basically all the clothes I make for him. I don’t know if I’d still choose the same sculpt now (well, with DOD having gone...) but he still perfectly fits the image I have of his character.

WTB/ISO: Dream of Doll

I’m searching for a LOT of Dream Of Doll sculpts, and have been for a few years. I am happy to have full dolls, if you have one. Original DOD faceups preferred but not required. I'm also happy to have default wigs and clothes if you have them. Legit dolls only.

The list of DOD DOI/DOT I am seeking are: Adolph Amun Azera Caracal Clou Code 03 Code 05 Code 07 Code 11 Crush Delphine (pref in grey) Ducan (elf version) Found! Ermo I-Ra Found! Ives Kaillar (M/T) Kellan Kious L-Ar Lilth Mr.W Ony Orrl Rain Sha Found! Sleeping Girl 1 Stom Tahlia Tanesia Tender Shall The-B U-I Dream heads (I have 1,3,9,10,11 and 13/14). Valentine heads

The list of DOD DOC I am seeking are: Chat Cyma Daisy Dustin Hez Hoo Found! Ivan Found! Mint Pitts Shiny Petsha Tender Twing-Key Tender Yen Found! Wi Found! Yen Found! U/Yu Found!

Depending on cost I may require layaway of 1-2 months. I can offer a trade of a DOI Mr.P1 (maybe, specific sculpts only). I can provide feedback on Ebay, Etsy and Den of Angels.

So it’s been a while. 😬

What have I done in the meantime? Continued my Dream of Doll collection (I’m at 35 different sculpts now, and a few duplicates - 2x Luke, 3x Mr.P1 and 3x Camine...), I think I might have the most varied private collection now. Do dolls count as “lost media”? The missing images definitely must. (I’m not hardcore into it but I do keep a watch on interesting lost things).

I do keep my list on here updated even if it’s mostly quick arrival photos for the newest ones. Most of my dolls are in progress in some way or another and the goal is to get them finished up so I can do a HUGE group photo for the end of the year, as well as update everyone’s profile photos. I’ve already paid for the profile upgrade on DOA to allow 50, and worryingly between the full dolls and heads to list I’m about there. So much for my original “oh, I only want a few!” (2007 wishlist being Ilye, Eden, and Mil).

The ultimate goal is to have all of them “finished” so I can do more photos. I miss meets too :C

(^ Sylvian and Reine, two of the actually ‘finished’ ones).

I havent bought a doll since last year
