Site for Doll Sales: Mister Dollface

mister dollfaceWith the Doll Page Show and Sell gone, where do we go to sell our dolly things?  Well, it's Mister Dollface.  Just like the Doll Page, this website is free to sell your items.  It certainly beats all the fees associated with selling on eBay.  Browse the great items available on Mister Dollface and help it grow!  It seems to gain more and more users everyday, but your support would be great. I have some of my own items on the page (found here) and will probably add quite a bit more in the coming weeks as I thin out my collection.  I've seen sellers posting all kinds of great things, including one of my grail dolls, the Queen V Veronique Integrity doll (Dolly Bird anniversary exclusive).

Casting Call for New Book

The new book, Dolly Bureau (Vol 3):  All About Tiny Dolls [working title], is underway and this year I'm going to try something a little different with the book.  Instead of being strictly a pattern book, this year the book will highlight all kinds of tiny dolls (11.5cm/4.5in or shorter) with some pattern tutorials, crafts, etc.  In this volume, dolls, crafts, clothing, accessories, etc, will also come from other people, not just MegannArt.

How great would it be to have some of your own dolls or handmade designs in a published book?!  Dolly Bureau books are gaining popularity and would help people notice your work. See below for more information about contributing to the book.

Gone But Not Forgotten: Cami Outfit

In an effort to make more outfits for Tonner dolls, I made this OOAK Cami (Daphne/Antoinette) outfit for a friend of mine.  I used a vintage jewelry piece and some fun shiny fabric that's been sitting around in storage.  Unfortunately, it appears the shipping box containing the outfit was likely stolen right out of my mailbox!  The funny thing is, the person who stole it is going to be really disappointed by the loot when they see an item that has no value for them. The outfit maLost Tonner Cami Outfity be gone, but it is not forgotten.

Picco EXCute Romantic Girly Chiika

There are soPicco Chiika 3me tiny dolls out there and the Azone Picco Neemo are among them.  For some reason, the tinier the doll, the more likely I will love it to death.  I recently purchased the Romantic Girly Chiika because I just loved her outfit and face. What do you think?  Post about it on the Facebook page.
