Dolly Market Forum

I took a little trip to a Tuesday Morning a little distance away from me (about an hour and a half) because the hotline said they had dolls (and also because I've never driven myself somewhere just because and I wanted to enjoy the fact that that's something I can do). I ended up coming home with Byul Tiger Lily, who has always been on my lowkey want list. She seems to have settled on the name Minnie.





Minnie's hair is the result of my first and only, rather unsuccessful, attempt to spin my own yarn. It's way too uneven and thick to actually crochet with, but I thought it might make some nice dolly dreadlocks, and seeing the finished result I think I was right! The wig's not perfect and probably is a little delicate, but I think it's still pretty fun.





I've got next to no ideas on her personality/backstory yet other than she's fairly protective of her hair, and I really don't think the romper quite suits her style, but I'm excited to get to see all that bud!

I don't know if you've seen Steven Universe, but Minnie's wig makes her seem like she could be a character from that show! Somehow it just reminds me of the animation style, haha!

Congrats on finding Tiger Lily! She's developing a cute style.

She looks awesome with that hair!! I do want a tigerlily, maybe someday lol!

That wig looks so spunky on her! It is no wounder she is so protective of her hairdo, it must have taken her a long time to get it just right

I love her supercool hair! Congratulations on the TM find!

Yay road trips! -- and congrats on finding her. Her wig is unique; neat colours. Spinning your own yarn sounds interesting.

Thanks for all the kind comments!

I'm a big Steven Universe fan- I've even made a custom Connie doll in the past! I can kinda see what you mean!

I want to try spinning again sometime and see if I do better the second time around. The concept itself isn't too complicated; mine just ended up way too thick because I wasn't pulling it thin enough.

She looks very futuristic to me, I love her hair. The color compliments her. I am a big fan of tiger lily congrats on your new girl

She is super cute! You did a great job on the wig, I really like it!

Congrats on finding her, colourful dreadlocks look fun and lively on her!
