    1. I have four of Donnys dolls, but only because he was kind enough to make a replacement rhino for me! My little rhino had one had a bad leg, so he sent a new leg and a pink sister โ™ก
      I think I need to send him am email. .. I would love a custom glowing fairy
       
    2. That's how I got a double jointed Snow. They've been sold out for a long time, but I discovered DH dolls a few months ago now. I bought an male Aka secondhand and love it so much I emailed basically the same - asking if he planned on ever releasing them again because I needed a female so badly. He replied that he could make me one and asked which color I wanted! I couldn't believe it.
       

    3. I know and it makes me so happy that they do fit so well in the woods (at least where I love to take photos :) ).

      I apologize for scaring you!

      And just to show off more photos, here's another one :) I thought this photo looked really cool with the edit and all :D

      OMG I am totally in love!! Looks like I need to start saving up for a lot of his dolls! And I am with everyone on the fact that he is amazing and i do hope he realizes how many people appreciate his brilliant work :D



      Thank you :D



      Also for everyone, I was looking through the available dolls and I noticed that I haven't seen any owner photos of Odile or Odilia and I was curious if anyone here had them?
       
    4. That's an awesome shot of Nyx "hiding."

      There are times when I really want to learn my camera, but mostly I sit around wishing it was a skill I'd been born with. I'm yet to come up with a mental system for remembering f-stops and which numbers go up and which ones go down and how they all affect each other.
       
    5. It's strange. I think a lot of companies believe that providing such care will cost them money, when it's the opposite. Doll lovers will spend money to make their dolls whole again, and the business gains the holy grail of the free market: customer loyalty. I know there is potential for exploitation by the unethical, but with a small amount of checks in place, I bet companies could limit that to less than 1%.

      ETA: Sorry for the slight derailment. Back to the wonderful Donny and DreamHigh!

      Oooo! An Ello! He's so beautiful, I love his body blushing. What kind of flower is he resting on?
       
    6. Thank you xx he's sitting on a beautiful hydrangea called 'Love you kiss'
       
    7. Sorry to double post but my Hiro, Ume came from the face-up artist today ( Pocket-Wolf of Shiny- Pawprints)

    8. Thank you :) I need to start taking her out more!

      The way I like to remember f is that the lower the number (2.2 for example) means that the shot is wide open and therefore will have a very blurry background. You can see it as the lower the number the less in the background and the higher the number (14) the more in focus your background will be. I shoot a Sony A77 in all manual and absolutely love it :D





      Yes!! Beautiful photo and I personally don't mind the double post :P
       
    9. Thanks ohmyhi ! I'm very pleased with how he came out. I'll have to take photos of his other faces.
       
    10. he looks great painted, such an expressive face. i'd love to see the others.
       
    11. Ume's sleepy face

    12. He looks like so much fun with all the faces Samson! I want a girl version, I LOVE those jointed hands! Amazing.
       
    13. He is lots of fun ! The hands are fiddly but i think theyre great !

      [​IMG]Ume by Sue, on Flickr

      Happy face !
       
    14. do the hands hold positions well? i'd love to be able to do sign language with a doll
       
    15. Hmm not sure they would be able to manage sign language but I'll try and take a few photos of him trying too. Might not be today though as I'm going to a mini meet (taking Ume of course :wiggle)
       
    16. no rush, the way our dollar is i can't afford to get him right away anyway, but i do want to get one eventually. hope donny doesn't discontinue this one!
       
    17. Thank you so much for sharing your handsome boy :D



      And to not double post I wanted to share a photo of Biliex with her sister :) A dust of doll Meel. I always forget how tiny she is until I take her out for photos!

      [​IMG][/URL]Friends by Emie M, on Flickr[/IMG]
       
    18. Im so glad you like him, that makes me really happy :D I love that photo of your two together - theyre so different but both so lovely :aheartbea
       
    19. Sorry about the double post. And sorry Auntbear I haven't got round to taking photos of Ume attempting to sign yet , but I did take a photo of him in his new pj's ( I love his sleeping face )

    21. Woah ! I cant get it into my head just how tiny some of theses guys are ! Cute shot !
       
    22. He's so beautiful. If Donny issues him in dark tan I think I'm sunk, but I need to pay off the layaway on my first DHS doll before I start making any more finance destroying plans. :XD:
       
    23. Thank you - and if Donny did release dark tan, i can see Ume getting a brother or sister :doh
       
    24. I am so happy, that I can see another DHS dolls and now know people who have them. I like examine your photos and looking for inspiration and ideas for my future doll. Great!


      You are realy lucky girl! Delayed congratulation! Ossia is best with Feilene and for her I now waiting. :3

      Absolutely great epic group's photo! Nice tiny family.
       
    25. tan would be amazing! he would vault to the top of my list for sure! i wonder if donny would do him as a cusom in tan?
       
    26. There's absolutely no harm in asking him. :wiggle
       
    27. Shhhhhh! Not until the layaway is paid. :aangel:
       

    28. Gorgeous photo and I cannot believe how adorable he is!! I'm in love :D




      Adorable swing for your lady :)


      And here's a photo of my little girl enjoying the trees again :)

    29. Eeeeeeeeeee! What a gorgeous photo! :D
       
    30. i have one doll ive been saving up for almost a year now, a soon as a manage to get her i may do just that!
       
    31. @auntbear I only know a little Makaton which is an easy form of BSL used for small children and people with Special Needs - I dont know any ASL sooo I ducked out and got Ume to count ( very lazy of me - sorry :roll:)

    32. that is such a cute series. i like how you changed the angle and pose for each shot. was it hard to get him to hold the finger positions?
       
    33. NoNot at all but I find his left hand easier than the right. It's just the thumb on the right sticks out more, not sure if its just him or is like that with all of them.
       
    34. thanks, that is really helpful. i didnt think i would ever like the look of jointed hands, but ume is really cute!
       
    35. Thank you auntbear I must admit I bought him on a bit of a whim and kind of lost interest then decided to send him off for a face up. But when he came home I just fell for him big time. I find him just so endearing and I'm having fun choosing outfits to buy for him too.

      Have you seen Donny's newest MOST ADORABLE TURTLE COMING SOON TO HIS SHOP NEAR YOU?!!!!!!!! He did a spectacular
      job on the faceup ... and the turtle even has a shell and front pieces as well! Not sure when it'll be ready yet. Check out his facebook or flickr for more pix!
       
    37. yeah I love the tiny turtle!!!
       
    38. Ditto - Im loving it too ! Its sooooo cute !
       
    39. [​IMG]
       
    40. that turtle is adorable. i think that's the first bjd turtle i've seen, and it is so well done.
       
    41. Auntbear ... the Mushroom Peddler on Etsy has a turtle and other adorable dolls, but I like the smooth look better for this guy.
       
    42. I actually have that turtle as well, the one by Mushroom Peddler. The sizes are very different, I love that this little guys is so tiny. And posing just blows my mind! If I am lucky to get my hands on him, I'll make his character that other turtle's baby boy :)
       
    43. ill have to go see the other one now. i'm not surprised that someone else had already done one, but donny's is still the first i'd seen :) he is really tempting even though i dont collect anthro dolls
       
    44. I'm trying to convince myself that I don't need to add a turtle to my dollie buying spree, but is so cute!
       
    45. He is 11 cm high (4.33") and will be available VERY VERY SOON!
       
    46. wow, five different faceplates? donny has outdone himself. cant wait to see all the different expressions on that one.
       
    47. Donny put up more info on the turtle, looks like it will be an le release from the 8-10th?
       
    48. The turtle is for sale now!
       
    49. wow that is a really quick preorder time! only 3 days?
       
    50. Yes, it is! It doesn't give me long to decided if I bump another doll off the short term wishlist!
       
    51. i'll probably dither the whole three days and then end up not. i have another le that i want to get this month instead...though the turtle is tempting because he would take up far less room!
       
    52. The turtle would certainly take less room! And he wouldn't want clothes or shoes or wigs! But he might want a pond!
       
    53. I was already using the clothing rationale to convince myself to order XD I also started watching more ninja turtles. .. he's very cute and layaway helps. ..
       
    54. Just playing around with clothes and wigs on little Kura !!!! If the designers mind - I'll remove it!

      [​IMG]
       
    55. i love the blue wig!
       
    56. Milo broke his ankle! But guess what? DHS has a Doll Medic service! Donny is going to send us a part to fix it! YAY!

      [​IMG]
      Milo is a repainted Gaia.
       
    57. I love that donny has such great customer service! Has anyone looked into the new resin that his page mentions? I'm not sure what the fee would be, but you can have your dolls recast in the new special resin formula
       
    58. what is the new resin?
