Random Team Ted

Some random TED pics from the Liz Frost FB page - and here is her site to view/order when available

https://www.wizworx.com.au/







Let's dress the little ones

My LT Frost and his BFF Irreal Ery get to indulge in fashions from GuguModa/Etsy!

Rattie - the beginning

A very tired Rattie has arrived (May 2017) - from Australia to NE Pennsylvania! My grail BJD - (soooo excited) Such a beautiful and very well mannered young lady!




What about Little Ted?

LT arrived with Rattie and loves to wear this kitty fashion - esp when playing with the litter of kittens! THANK YOU, LIZ for creating these marvelous dolls! 

The Frosty twins do Halloween

When Stella Luna is your fave story, what can be better than wearing Hallweenie bat fashions from doll fashion designer Carol Pringle!

Liz Frost's Rattie - School Dress Up

Today's dress up theme at Rattie's school is a costume related to your favorite holiday song. Rattie chose "I'll Be Home For Christmas." Ohhhh - I think my Rattie might be a bit homesick for Australia.


😥 For everyone who can't be "home" for Christmas this year, remember that you CAN be in your dreams and fond memories of childhood days!

Liz Frost's Rattie - Off to Daycare

Guess who walked LT to Daycare yesterday?

Liz Frost's Rattie - The Queen

Seasons, movies, holidays, historical events/characters certainly influence the fashions my dolls choose to wear. 18th century frills and Kirsten Dunst's portrayal of Marie Antoinette in the cinema had one of my Liz Frost resins beg for such a look.
Let me share random pics that inspired the look - and the doll who chose to wear it.

The Frosty Twins in PA

My meager cell phone pics of the twins. Will add pics in various fashions.


 
Fifi and Finn in fashions by Texas Carol
 
 
Fifi and Finn were looking through old photo albums today and found a picture of their grandmother, Fiona, as a little girl gathering eggs with her faithful companion Jerome the cat. The twins agreed there is a family resemblance to their beloved Nana Fi!

 
Since Prince George will be taking ballet in his new school, the Frosty Twins decided ballet would be a new outlet for them. They visited cousin Willow to get her opinion. Not certain what she thinks about the idea!


A back to school fashion by Texas Carol. The Frosty twins can wear shoes and fashions intended for Dianna Effner Little Darling 13. The twins can also wear shoes Denis Bastien made for the Leeann line.

The Frosty Twins

Twenty Fifis and Ten Finns - a surprise offering of dolls without the pre-order routine. A time slot was opened and the first to go to the site at 8 AM Aus time on August 25 (6 PM Aug 24 here) were able (if Lady Luck allowed) to purchase the dolls. PayPal went crazy - who were all these dolls nutters purchasing BJDs at the same time? LOL BUT - all settled down and my Frosty Twins and various combinations of the 30 doll have arrived in the USA. Mine are now in New York and should arrive after the Labor Day weekend.

Who are these Frosty twins? Amazing creations by Liz Frost - and the dolls can wear LD clothes!

Here's a peek from Wizworx - preorder for the light tan F/F dolls is open until mid Sept

The Marvelous Maudy

Who does not love Maudylynne Macabre from the days of the Tonner doll site. She is extra special when having a proper faceup and dynamic fashion to match. (053)

This gothy girl is part of a triple set created by Peggy Foggio of  Westport Dolls.

Westport Dolls

While Maudys are now reduced to $30 per doll ( from $70) the "basic" does have several stains on her vinyl because of her original fashion of very black stockings and a deep burgundy dress.




In correspondence Peggy commented -
"I created the outfits to go with their original stockings and shoes (which they are wearing) and they ... come with the rest of their original outfit, box & COA. The partial re-root was done in black and burgundy hair, to go with the original outfit and the one made for her."

AOD Meng LI

This Angel of Dream SD 1/3 is an relatively inexpensive way to begin collecting the larger BJDs. For around 400 USD, the doll poses well and seems to wear all SD fashions with ease.

Would love to get the Alice fashion ensemble for her!

Once was LOST or delayed

This is the story of a minor postal SNAF. Ordered an Eyes of Texas doll via Etsy. Sent couple days Priority Via USPS - supposed to arrive from Texas to PA on a Friday - never happened. That Monday I visited the PO in my town - the head postal person "would get back to me" IF it didn't arrive by the following Friday. Tracking showed that it did well on the journey from Texas to PA BUT got stuck in the Lehigh Valley facility which is an hour and a half drive from my house.

Frustrated I contacted the owner of the Etsy shop (Brenda) who is the BEST of the best in communications. She started a lost mail search and behold - the next day my text update showed it was being shipped from Lehigh Valley and the doll arrived the next day! THANK YOU, Brenda.

About the doll - Brenda's dolls are made by here using a Dianna Effner mold/cast. All fashions/face-ups are also by Brenda.

NOW - I do have a Studio Doll of Little Darling by Uri G. and had previously sold two others for immediate cash for a root canal. Sigh. These dolls retail through Studio Doll for over 300 USD. None of the artists their are currently taking orders. You can be put on an email waiting list - but it appears the wait can be around 18 months. In the meantime, many of the dolls are being sold on Ebay for way above their retail cost through Studio Doll. By WAY above I mean the $350 doll is getting bids of up to 1800 USD per doll!!!!! Enough said.

On to Eyes of Texas - cost begin at 150 USD and this includes doll, face-up, fashion, and shipping!
A lovely 13" doll that comes with any of the three sculpts.

My order was for

"Kaitlin Handmade Doll. Eyes of Texas Dolls. Dianna Effner Doll. Little Darling Doll. Handcrafted Doll. Dianna Effner Mold. OOAK Artist Dolls"


Lovely little dolls - actually purchased two more through Brenda's Eyes of Texas website. Her advert can also be found in the latest issue of DOLLS magazine!

My review on Etsy -

"OMGosh - QUALITY all the way - from communications to packaging to fashion style to doll detailing. Absolutely delighted with my purchase. Kaitlin is absolutely adorable!!! Thank you so much, Brenda."

Can it be a year?

With FB and Flickr and texting being easier ways to communicate, I have neglected my blog "duties." Several dolls have been added to the collection of Drearydom Larks in the past year. 

One at a time - today will highlight Cassie who is the third doll from doll artist Dale Zentner /Canada.

While I am not fond of  "toothy" dolls, Cassie does complete my  Zentner collection and I must admit she is pretty amazing!!!!
