Today's doll meet was a lot of fun as always. A few people had gorgeous new dolls that they brought. Meets are such a great way to be inspired by others in the hobby and see many of the beautiful dolls available by the many different companies. I feel very fortunate that our group is full of such kind people who are anti-drama. I think the meet prompted me to finally order some Dolcebella Candy eyes I've been eyeing for a couple of weeks.
I intend for the sparkly Dolcebella Galaxy eyes Prea has in her human head now to go in her fantasy/elf head. I've been looking all over the house for a pair of Mako eyes I own that could work for her human head, but I just can't find them. By the time I find them (if I ever do), these Candy eyes I've been considering for her human head as well could have sold, so I decided to just buy them. Sometimes you just have to order things and figure you can sell them later if they don't work out. They look lovely, and I'm eager to see them in person.

I attended my first doll meet on Sunday. It was an hour and a half away from me. I went with another doll hobbyist who, it turns out, lives five minutes away from me. I really enjoyed her company. She was a joy to travel and converse with.
We had the meet at a quirky little coffee shop that let us stay and talk the whole afternoon. There were 9 of us total. I didn't expect such a large group. Everyone was friendly, and we all seemed to hit it off. It was so nice to talk doll stuff in person with other hobbyists. We got off topic sometimes too, and I think we could have talked late into the evening. The group organizer wants to hold a meet at this location monthly or bimonthly, and I'm really excited about that. I would most definitely attend regularly. Now I've seen some dolls other than my own in person. I had never seen an SD before, because I don't own one. I was impressed with the work of the very talented faceup artists and seamstresses in the group. I sold and bought a few things. I sold a wig that I loved but didn't fit my doll. I was elated to see it fit the new owner's doll perfectly. I bought a mask that I fell in love with and intend to paint. New project! All in all, I had an absolutely wonderful first doll meet and am so looking forward to the next one, which I hope to bring my centaur to. I just need to figure out how to travel with her. |
