and there was much REJOICING

My problem with the DOC body and the Soom faun legs was more than the resin mismatch (that could be corrected with blushing), but that the S-hooks on the bottom of the feet didn't sit properly and stuck out nearly 1/4 of an inch so he couldn't stand. :shock: So if you haven't done so already, make sure you don't have that issue! LOL!

Going to be seeing my folks as of Tuesday, and.. hopefully visiting Zirconmermaid again while I'm up in MN. Happy to be able to see my family for the holidays.
A hobby isn't supposed to leave you wistful, regretful and vaguely disappointed. BJD collecting is as customizable as the dolls themselves. Do whatever pleases you the most, because otherwise, why do it at all? All for the 'Gram Bitches love the 'Gram.

Yeah, I haven't found a set of s-hooks to fit either of my Soom fantasy leg sets. I'll run down to Floyd's Hardware some time next week and see what I can find there. I spent two days with a dremel and Apoxie making knew knee joints for my 1:4 RS to fit her new legs. She's uber cute!

I saw a person at a Con once who had used those hard plastic zip tie things. If I can't find the right s-hook I'll use that. I'd forgotten about it when I first asked about my Soom feet a while back.

Dude - PAPERCLIPS are your friends! Seriously, just make S hooks out of the metal kind - either the big ones or the small ones, doesn't matter they are both strong :) I've done it, it works!

Congratulations! It's always nice to see new BJD sewing patterns..particularly ones that are not sized for something other than Kay Wiggs dolls >< Seriously, I'm so tired of nothing but her dolls out there ;p

Jack's home (Iplehouse Dexter). He's huge but I like the way he looks, he has that same feel as my other dolls. And I received an Iplehouse calander. Cowboy Dexter is poster boy of March and Western Missy Bibane and Knight Claude are in there as well

Congrats and nice work! Will the 16" Ren pattern be suitable for an Ellowyne Wilde?
Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Kenaiqueen, it won't, because the Kish body is more like a child body.
Nevertheless, Trethowan bought :) :) :) :) a 60 cm pattern and asked how to modify it for a 1/4 scale. I told her I would cut the pattern piece on the seam line and sew it 1/4" in, and it fits my Marie Celeste (Resinsoul Lan) pretty well. That being so, I am going to work up a 1/4 scale version of this, fitting it on Marie Celeste and Delilah noir. It shouldn't take long.
Thanks for asking.
