30 Day BJD Challenge - Day 13

13) Dollie shoes! Show us how many you have!

There you go!

 We have three pairs of boots right now, and all of them belong to Lamia. ='D Luckily he was kind enough to lend one to Gloria until she gets her own shoes. ^^

30 Day BJD Challenge - Day 12

12) What do your friends think of your dolls/dolls in general?

Luckily I have the greatest friends I could ever wish for: nearly all of them like my hobby and my BJDs, or at least accept the fact that I'm collecting dolls. xD (My boyfriend however is a bit afraid of them... ^^")

And I get to know extremely kind, helpful, lovely and caring people since I'm in the hobby and going to meetups~ And they give me so much inspiration with their dolls as well. x)

30 Day BJD Challenge - Day 11

11) How long have you collected dolls? Did you collect dolls before BJDs? 

I'm a newbie in the BJD-hobby, my dolls have arrived in December 2014. (Gloria's head was given to me on the 13th of December, and Lamia arrived on the 18th, exactly. However, I ordered him on the 15th of August.) As for other dolls...

I've been collecting dolls since I was 10. =D Porcelain dolls, I mean. Actually I made my mother buy my first porcelain doll when I was at the age of 3 or 4, but I consider myself a collector since I was 10 years old. (And it was only a matter of time to decide to purchase my first - then my second xD - BJD. =3) Currently I own 16 dolls with various heights and from various places - my aim was to purchase a doll in every country where I travelled on a holiday. Here they are: 

They are the smaller ones - my fist doll, Mary is the one in the purple dress, the second one from the right. I saw her in a store at a Greek airport - I don't remember where - and I begged my mother and refused to go out of the store until my parents bought her for me. (I must admit that I was a really spoiled kid - and actually, I am. xD)
The others are (from left to right without Mary) Michelle, Heidi, Millefeuille, Sophie and Erzsébet (Elisabeth in Hungarian).

They are the bigger ones, from left to right: Olga, Nicky, Claudia, Victoria, Niké, Alice, Charlotte, Emily and Catherine.

And she is the newest one, I bought her in Vienna in December, when I went on a one-day Advent-Market trip with my friend, Kishi. =) I told her that I won't go home without a doll, so we walked through the quarter of the city to find a shop. xD But we found it, and this cutie came home with me; her name is Namiren (I named her after our local BJD-artist Namiren, because this doll reminds me of her, and I really appreciate her work also. ^^) 

Sooo, I guess that's all for now.

30 Day BJD Challenge - Day 10

10) Post a picture of a doll and an animal!

 

Well, I guess we can say, it's a kind of an animal. ='D Pincus Octopus. 

I don't own any pets, so I couldn't take a photo with a living animal, sorry. ^^" 

30 Day BJD Challenge - Day 9

9) What is your least favourite size?

Well, as I said before, I don't have any preferences in size, but if I really have to choose what size I like least, I'd probably say YoSD, because... Because they are too small for me. ^^" 

I'm not saying that they are not adorable, not at all - they are really cute! But I personally can't imagine any YoSD in my dollcrew... ='D But I really like to see and hold others' small dollies. ^^ 

By the way, even though I don't really want to buy any small dolls, one of my biggest wish is to buy a Fairyland Pukipuki-sized dollie~ * . * It's so small and cute and ohmygod it can be put into a tiny teacup or it can sleep on my palm...! * - * It just like a tiny little fairy~ I want one sooo bad... xD (Once, when I'll become a millionaire. xD)

30 Day BJD Challenge - Day 8

8) What is your favourite size?

Well, I don't really have preferences... Although I'm pretty satisfied with SD size - my only problem is that they need a huge bag if I want to carry them somewhere, and it's really difficult to carry both of them in the same time... =S (And since Lamia refuses to be put into a bag - any kind of bag basically xD - I have no other choice but to carry him in my hand... Luckily, Gloria is a bit more likely to travel in her new bag...)

And they are really heavy... I mean, after 20-30 minutes my arm gets numb when I hold my dolls, and it's a bit uncomfortable. This is the only reason why I'm a bit envy for those who own MSD or smaller dolls. And maybe that's why I have some plans for MSD dolls in the future - at least two. (But as I know myself, this number might increase to four... x'D)

However, if it comes to sewing dollie clothes, SD size is simply perfect - it's small enough to cost less in fabric, and it's big enough to sew the parts together easily. =D (However, sometimes it's still really hard to put a dress together, even in SD size... I really can't imagine how some people are able to sew so pretty clothes for MSD, YoSD or even Tiny dolls...! Big respect for them...!)

All in all, we can say that my favourite size is SD, but this may change if I purchase my first MSD... I'm not quite sure. xD

30 Day BJD Challenge - Day 7

7) Smallest size you own? (Have held/seen/like)

As I said, I only own SD dolls. However, this may change in the future - currently I have some plans for - at least - two MSD size dolls. x3 

The smallest BJD I've encountered with was a Fairyland Pukifee Ante - and she was adorably small~
