Introducing Tommeliesl von Dorfli, my Volks Kun/F-22, fresh from a spa visit to Viridian House!
This character is one of my 'big four', so it's exciting to have her fully face-upped, with the right wig and eyes and costume! Tommie is part of the same story as Gwenllian, Deryn and Mafonwen.
My poor abandoned blog! I'm sorry!
I won't even try to catch up where I left off last year because I'm bound to skip things and it's a bit too much to play catch up all in one post!
The main thing to mention is that I have retired as a moderator from Den of Angels. I wrote my reasons why on my Tumblr blog and it was a sad decision to step down so I'd rather not go over it all over again. I'm re-evaluating my participation in the BJD hobby and as much as I still love the other mods and being a mod, I want to see if I still enjoy the hobby without DoA tying me to it.
I still like and appreciate my dolls as objects (and that's not wrong,) but I've not done much with them at all, whereas when I started in this hobby I wanted to be actively doing things with my dolls and not just admiring them from a shelf. The new things I bought them were not being worn and I barely photographed them. This year I want to see how attached I am to the hobby, and so far (seeing that it's February) I seem to be doing okay.
In the last year I've sold a few dolls and changed the line-up at home, but I'm happy with my choices and pleased with the dolls I have. I've updated the Ball Jointed Dolls page (above) to reflect my current doll collection.
