More Random Doll Thoughts In a concerted effort to be more participatory in the larger doll community, I tried to find a thread at DoA that I could respond to, but I didn't have any luck. ;_; I've been kicking around the idea of buying another large BJD head. Charlie could share her body or I could buy a Dollfie Dream body like JoAnn did. What's holding me back is not the expense, but the fact that even with only three BJDs, I feel crowded. This Monday, I re-organized my doll stuff in hopes that I could make more room for some books, and well, more dolls. ^^; I managed to get almost all my Takara dolls in a display case, which freed up some room on my customized doll shelf. This exercise didn't do me a whole lot of good because now I have room for maybe 3-5 more 1/6 sized dolls and maybe around 6 new books. This tells me that I should be selling stuff, not accumulating more. Another thought that's been plaguing me is that I'd like to re-do Hilly and Harry's face-ups. I want to do them right this time, with Mr. Super Clear, soft penciled eyebrows, smooth blushing, and all that good stuff. Now that I have Charlie, who is just perfect the way she is, I feel like I can take some risks with H & H. I'm even considering sanding down Hilly's pointy nose which, to this day, I still can't convince myself to like. I wonder if I could wipe them clean, spray their heads with Mr. Super Clear, but all the while leave their lip paint intact. I'm fairly satisfied with their lips and would hate to have to attempt to paint them again (Hilly's in particular). Hey, maybe that's something I could post to DoA!

You could always post to the "share your doll family" threads! ;) I've also noted some people sharing comparison photos of various doll bodies. I think many people appreciate a chance to see what various dolls look like with different face-ups.
I hear ya! When I got my DD, I thought to myself..."Wow, this feels like too many BIG dolls" considering how much counter space they take up. 1/6,...they multiply like gremlins and I can always find room for them somewhere! But our larger dolls,...it really made me stop and think if I'd even want another bjd.
Well done!
Nice site!
