davidd’s A DOLL A DAY 2021

EDverything goes in waves, I don't really think that it's all becuase of your posts on each of the forums. I've noticed that the knitting forum is in a similar low ebb, and I'm pretty certain you don't post there

Myterious lady of the Orient is very nice, where is she from? (Apart from the Orient, of course!)

Dal House is always slow unless there is a contest going on with a substantial prize. I’m sad that so many people have abandoned forums for the lazy scroll-past-it format of Facebook. Or “I already talk to my doll friends on messenger so I don’t need to go to the forum“.

I have ideas for photos, but real life keeps interfering… I have just done my income tax form for the fourth time. I was going to set up a doll photo every night for at least the last three. Don’t give up the ship! Here’s to those of us who are still keeping Dolly Market afloat.

I actually think it's a seasonal ebb. In "northern hemisphere" spring and summer, forum activity often declines, picking up again in the fall.

25 April – Creepy-Cute Goth Bear

Participation prize (thank you, TrueFan) from an October 2020 Dal House Forum contest.

[Alliecat]

Again spooky lighting. An interesting little character. Made me think of Jenny-Jinya's "Loving Reaper" characters.
I tried the "point source lighting" in an otherwise-dark hallway.... I guess my "point" was too big, cos it wasn't great & I just ended up light-painting with my trusty lil flashlight again. (Which did work.)

[Elfy]

Cute and creepy all at the same time.

I use a trusty li'l flashlight for most of my "point source" lighting. Next time I set something up I'll try to take some making-of pics.

Yes, it's a fun little plushie, and the pic turned out better than I was anticipating.

26 April - Playing Mantis Captain Action Doctor Evil action figure...

being all action-y and evil!

[Elfy]

So, is he also crute?

[Lejays17]

The plushie is a very cute participation prize.

I’d forgotten how buggy dr Evils eyes are!

[Alliecat]

He does look rather psychotic… Or maybe just too much caffeine.

27 April – Candid Snapshot: I wonder what Janie and Addie were talking about?

[Elfy]

The next episode of Smarts and Crafts?

[Lejays17]

Why is Janie holding dog-tags? That’s rather concerning?!

[davidd]

The next episode of Smarts and Crafts?

Coming soon! Maybe... I hope!

Y'never know what you'll dig up in the back garden, huh?

28 April – Photo-Story Cover

Part of a photo-story on another forum.

[Alliecat]

The story cover looks pretty cool… Although if someone’s drinking and driving there may be some more dog tags to find in the back garden.
The girls do look like they’re dressed for more construction. Don’t they ever get time off to dress up and go out for fun?
