davidd's A Doll A Day 2018

[davidd]

Oh wow, another month of trying to keep up with daily themes! Amazing -- I couldn't do this. Well, if I had unlimited time...

It's mostly a matter of lowering your standards.

You're very brave starting up another themed month.

Brave is one word for it. I can think of some other terms that might be equally applicable.

That's a cute bookshelf! How big are these?

Are those figures with the bookcase little Licca figures?

The little figures are tiny, less than two inches (5 cm) tall. They were attached to key rings. I found them in a discount-type store quite a number of years ago, and purchased several of them in different poses. I've never seen them since. The tiny bookcase is from a figure kit from an obscure line called Cat Girls in Schrödinger's House.

4 November – DollstagramNovemberChallenge2018: Favourite Shoes

This month I am combining A Doll A Day with the #DollstagramNovemberChallenge2018 on Instagram.

Today's assigned topic: "Favourite Shoes"

Not only are these custom hand-made doll shoes my favorite doll shoes, they are actually one of my most prized possessions, a generous gift from my friend Tarja, who lives in Finland.

The ankle and toe straps were made from individual tiny threads using a time-consuming technique called card weaving.

Yes, Tarja is the Tarja behind the Fashion Doll Shoes blog.

And the Tarja who is the author of the popular Amazon eBook, Techniques for Making Doll Shoes. In fact, this pair of miniature shoes, made specifically to fit a Monster High Clawdeen Wolf doll, is pictured in the book.
