How do you pose your dolls when you're not interacting with them?

I don't yet have my doll but I want to make a space for him in my dining room, which is currently a crafting area. I have plans to make furniture for him from wire frames and sculpy clay. He'll likely be in casual poses. I'd make a place for him the bedroom but that would never fly with my husband.
Does your roommate not like the dolls as well?

 

My boys usually hang around on my desk with me (or when I'm not there)! They just sit with their legs hanging over the edge mostly. Though I have recently been having Ilya scrunch himself up to loosen his elastic a little. I also like posing them together, which was...interesting when Ilya's head was off for a faceup. I hope to have a bench or couch or something for them soon though, so I can have some space back on my desk!

 

Mine are kept in display cabinets, behind glass.

Why? I hate dusting.

 

I like to pose my dolls on my bookshelf with little accessories, like a cup of tea or a book. So it just looks like they are chilling out, in their own world. Like this:

During the day, my doll sits in casually poses in her house. At night, I pose my doll in a sleeping position and give her her stuffy. I kinda like to think that she has a sleeping rhythm too.

 

I have all mine in chairs in one of three sections of cube units from Target.
The BJD Room

 

My MSD girl has a throne which she sits on. I'm planning to buy a big ol' bell jar, just to protect her from dust when she's chilling on my desk. Plus, I think bell jars are super classy.

I'm planning to create a little display for my incoming tinies. I'm waiting until they get here, so I can have a better sense of their scale. But I think a little ocean-themed diorama would suit them. I think they'll hang out inside a bell jar too.

 

At the moment, they're inside a room dedicated to our game collection so I'm able to leave them out (there's no window there and no way for dust to enter). Two of them are just relaxing on their SD-sized couch, with the third posed standing up beside them.

When I'm stressed or bored sometimes, I just fiddle with them and give them props like a magazine, mini-PSP or iPad. It's like they're just hanging out in the room with me.

 

My doll either stands or sits on his sofa but I usually do something with his arms so he's not just hanging out all stiff like xD

 

Del sits in my closet.

 

I have a bookshelf for mine and they sit around on pouffes with their books and stuff, lol! I'm thinking about expanding into a second shelf.

 

My couples share a box (covered by padding) so they can snuggle

 

My couple usually sits on a table in my bedroom with their legs hanging down on the edge, posed to evoke them just chilling together. If I do need one (or both) of them as artist's models, they are moved right beside me on the workstation and posed accordingly (gets pretty crowded though!).

 

Bridget stays in a drawer in my desk most of the time, I'm in a dorm so I don't really have anywhere else that's away from sunlight as much as I'd like.

 

My dolls stay in their box. I'm only taking them out when I'm making clothes or want to take a picture. When I'm making doll clothing one of the dolls keep me company on the sewing table

 

My two mini boys are shelf-sitters I'd say 90% of the time I'm not doing something with them. Billy gets a little more variety thrown in just because he's so much fun to pose, plus he can fit into more places, but he's usually cuddled up to Pete on the dolly shelf.

Marigold does not live on the dolly shelf, and is usually found reclining in her open carry case, where I can see her from my bed.

 

Most of my dolls have chairs (or similar things) to sit on, and they've practically taken over the room I keep them in. I like to leave them posed like they're talking amongst themselves.
You can see them here: /threads/the-current-state-of-resin-insanity.732263/

 

I always have my dolls sitting and leaning against something because I'm terrified they might fall off my shelf and break! I always wish I had the courage to put them in more interesting poses.

 

Sitting around my room on chairs, or sofas I've made, though some are shelf sitters.

 

It makes perfect sense. I have a collection of various nerdy figurines and an American Girl doll I've kept since childhood. My own parents gave me crap for collecting figurines. I am touchy about mentioning the BJDs to people but most people understand with your more typical figure and doll collecting. I think BJDs and dolls in general are getting more accepted though. I've had a few co workers spot me looking at sites while I'm on my break and start asking questions. They've been genuinely interested.

 

Mine are also shelf sitters. Just sitting there looking pretty. The only time I move them around is when I'm cleaning, working on them, or taking pictures.

 

My girl has a lovely little arm chair on my desk, although I do sit her on the edge of my desk when I'm working on something sometimes. I like to think she's a willing audience for when I need to think out loud about a math or programming problem.

 

My girl is usually sitting on my dresser with her little porcelain cat or reading a book. I love being able to see her while I'm just going about my daily routine!

 

Mine sit or stand on my desk. I like having them close and I look at them often. It's nice to look up from a project to see a pretty doll right near me.

 

Mine sit on my dresser together holding hands.

 

I feel so slovenly...

Thranduil, Loki, Emilio and Saskia are sitting together on my desk. Iago moves about, but currently Loki is holding him (Iago is 30cm, he’s a three year old).

 

usually sits on something cause they easily fall...

 

I found a wicker chair for big dolls at a thrift store, so Annika occupies that when I'm not playing with her. It's a bit too big, though. It could probably fit an SD and an MSD at the same time. To make it work better, I visualize it as patio furniture, and that (oddly enough) ended up being the spark of inspiration that I needed for her story. Because patio furniture and science fiction always go together, right?

 

If I'm home he'll sit on my bed next to my desk crossed legged or with his legs bent under him. If I'm out and decide not to have him on the bed he'll be on his shelf cross-legged again usually with his plushie octopus on his lap!

 

I have a great shelf in my closet that is bright but out of direct sunlight they all hang out on. Usually I'll bring one or two out into the room with me if I'm home, but if not they stand against the wall posed in a cute or relaxed way! Except for Rin and Rohan, who are both usually in action poses!

 

I tend to pose my girls resting on each other. I like how they look together, even if it's not exactly cohesive heh

My DD is either sitting on the shelf and watching over me while I study or she kneels on a blanket next to my laptop. Right now she's holding my pain medication (wisdom teeth extraction) with her hands, head slightly tilted and smiles softly. She's such a gentle soul

 

Mine is sitting down next to my computer holding a wooly sheep, I work on art a lot on my computer so he is always close xD

 

All them stand up inside their cabinet :P

 

I only have the one OT doll (Tiny AnAn cat) so far. Her main outfit is solid black, so to prevent stains I usually have her sitting in the nude with some of my other dolls (she has such cute body blushing that I kind of like her that way). She can't stand on her own, and is too tiny to find a proper stand for, so I'll often have her sitting, relaxed looking, in a corner of a shelf away from the light. Usually, just looking cute with her hands in her lap. Sometimes, I'll give her a prop like Re-Ment items, or put her into a light coloured outfit instead.

 

I keep my guy wrapped up in the cupboard (due to my toddler being to interested)
I have a chair for him though just need a. Shelf higher

 

Sitting comfortably in an empty lounge chair.

 

Since space is short in a house with so many dolls and stuffies theygo back on their shlf or into their cbinet depending on which doll it is Boring, but we have no space for the SD sized roomset I'd really like to keep set up




Before the advent of the cabinet it was overcrowded open shelves for all of them


Teddy

 

Sitting or stuffed into a box, usually with some sort of cloth over them. Except Gobbie, I usually either leave her in a box or just out. She's small enough that I don't think people would balk if they saw her.

 

Hi! Mine sit pretty on my shelve of miniatures and small bits, In the back I also have my favorite yarn colors stored in a vintage cupboard that my dad restored for me, you can have a little peek on this video I recently made:
Not all of them are there, I keep others in boxes too.

 

Mine are stored away in a chest of drawers to keep them away from sunlight and my kids. Except my Momonita - she sits most of the time at my working desk.

 

Your Minifee Chloeooks like a Mirwen, don't she? Or do you name her Chloe? Sorry just curious

 

You are right! I only noticed it when I was uploading the video -_- completely wrong but I did mention it on the description eheh Thanks for noticing!

 

Mine usually all sit together on my shelf(out of sunlight of course). I like to look at them throughout the day

 

I put mine on shelves in my bedroom. I actually need to put more up as i have quite a few dolls incoming xD Although i would prefer to put them on stands instead.

 

Sitting on my bedroom shelf with the DVD's.
