Iplehouse Discussion (YID, nYID, SID, EID, HID) Part 12

Sep 9, 2020

    1. @Frillseeker Your garment construction and embellishments are so beautiful. I hope to one day create some couture pieces as nice as yours. Still trying to get better at the basics at the moment.

      Here's a picture of my Aria from last week from my first outdoor shoot. I need to take more photos of my other dolls though.

    2. Your Aria is beautiful :) I was so torn between mari and aria. I went with mari but I think she needs a sister hehe :)

    3. @VeraLyne

      I love that shot. Seeing the lake in the background and the trees and leaves. I love her glasses as well for they make her seem so scholarly. She is lovely.

    4. @Bambi Darling - Mari is a lovely sculpt and the pair of them could definitely pull off being sisters. If I hadn't already placed a moratorium on acquiring more girls, I would be considering Mari.

      @Bren - Thank you! It was a nice day for pictures. Texas has mild late fall/early winters which are pleasant to be outdoors. Everyone in my family wears glasses, so I thought it was fitting that they should extend to my dolls.

      Once the holidays are in full swing, and I can take time off of work, I'm going to make more clothes for my IH crew and take more pictures. Looking forward to more photo spam from others!
       
    5. @IngieBee @Bambi Darling @Olga Borontova @Bren
      Thank you all!

      Little Miss Attitude landed on me two days ago. She jumped into her biker outfit and looked at me. "What's up?" she said." "You are our new fit model. Raffine is already working. Ditch the clothes," I said. "But first stand in front of the new dollhouse panels. You look sharp."

      Elle-gant from Iplehouse. (I know. Terrible pun.)

    8. OMGoodness, that wall is amazing! The patina on it makes it look so realistic! And your Ella and her outfit are stunning, I'm swooning! @Frillseeker

      Wow @luluna , your Doria just made Christmas sexy! LOL. And her Faceup is really gorgeous!

    9. Elle looks great in front of those wall panels!

      Vespertine is just stunning...she makes a white skin doll tempting to me :)

    10. @Frillseeker - Congrats on your Elle! The panel and windows look great. I am planning on building a diorama in 2021, so this is wonderful inspiration.

      @luluna - :aeyepop: I have never considered getting WS for any of my dolls, but Vespertine is so ethereal looking. I can envision one in my collection in the future after my moratorium lapses.
       
      • x 2
    11. @Bambi Darling - @IngieBee - @LyanneNZ - @Veral - :) Thank you ever so much for the kind words about my Vespertine. WS resins are few in my horde....but they do have a prominent place in my heart! :XD: I am finding myself quite inspired by her. Especially at this time of the year when holidays and snow and ice are part of the season.

      Iplehouse did lovely work on her dramatic faceup.

    29. Kaname Kimura, IngieBee, Anita2006 (congrats on the incoming Grace, she’s one of my favorites), luluna (your Grace is so pretty), and Frillseeker (your Elle looks lovely next to that tree) thank you all!:D:candycane I had a lot of fun putting this little scene together!:hollyberry


      (and Quiet and Insane is correct, that’s a Dexter;))

    30. Oh, mine's not incoming, but I love her just the same, LOL. She has the best wardrobe of all my dolls, and I really ought to take more pictures of her! I sure am looking forward to more Grace photos though, and I just love the Christmas photos, so more of those please :D I am simply not that creative, and am so inspired by you all!!!
       
    31. @IngieBee when my Grace will arrive I will make some spam photos here, cant wait till she will arrive.

    32. @luluna Your Grace is so beautiful, is that default type C faceup? I have plan on ordering her on the next round and hesitating between type B and C :XD:

      @Frillseeker Your Elle looks super good with that wig and you just made me adding Elle on my wish list :drool

      Received some outfit for Venus yesterday and please pretend that you guys don't see her NS neck adaptor :doh

    33. @Khlovera - Thank you! No, she has a custom faceup by Lyn Raftis. Your Stella is wonderful! :)
       
    34. :abambi::abambi::abambi::abambi::love Gorgeous!!!
       
      • x 1
    35. ooh, @Khlovera , is that a dollshe body? What are the resin colors? I'm sure you'll be able to blush the neck adapter to match, but if you have trouble, you could make her a choker, I think that would go well with her design, and she's so gorgeous!!!!
       
    36. @luluna thanks for the info :blush always enjoy seeing pic of your crew

      @Bambi Darling thanks :chibi stella is my favourite sculpt of Iplehouse’s

      @IngieBee it’s not a perfect match, Iplehouse’s PG is much more pinky and copper oriental is mostly like a light coffee or brown/bronze. I would say the match is about 75-80% originally. My Stella got a good matched was probably because of her faceup that has a orange and metal tone, so it suppressed the original pinky tone of the head and got matched well.

      I’m still looking for body for Venus, hesitating between EID/HID/26F, regardless the skin match :evilplot:
       
      • x 2
    37. @Khlovera , are you sure you need the spacer? It seems a little long to me that way (I'm really into realism though) I feel like she is a Ndebele tribes woman with the rings that stretched her neck out. A pretty but deadly look! Maybe a little leather sueding will give her just the lift she needs but not too much?
       
    38. Poptart I love the festive scene...it does look like Dexter might be starting to lose his patience with unravelling those lights LOL I love seeing the little ones in with them too.

      Gorgeous photo of your Grace, Luluna! And Elle by the tree, Frillseeker, is just lovely.

      Khlovera your Stella is beautiful...amazing face up!
       
    39. @IngieBee do you mean that she may looks good without the adaptor? lol the photo I showed last time with the black dress was the result of her on Dollshe 26F body without neck adaptor, I guess she might be shorter-neck :sweat so I placed the neck adaptor. Sueding! Good idea I might try that option! Thanks for the hint :chibi

      @LyanneNZ thanks! Stella is my forever favourite :chibi
       
    40. I'm so sorry for being a critic but yes, I think she looks perfect in this picture. I guess I've been struggling with too-long necks in my group which isn't so bad with clothing on, but I just dislike them for not being realistic, LOL. You should do what YOU like, and I wish I could say my preference in a way that was nicer (my lack of decorum and communication skills) I also don't understand what people are trying to say when they aren't blunt and direct, LOL. So take what I said as my own personal preference and not necessarily what YOU should do if you like a longer neck and please forgive me for inserting doubt and possibly nasty tone as the internet is awful at expressing intention :hug::hug: Ugh, Merry Christmas or please enjoy this beautiful evening :D LOL I shall shut up now :doh

      Seriously, could I be worse at communication? She is gorgeous both ways, I love her outfit and accessories/jewelry they are stunning :D
       
      • x 3
    41. @IngieBee nahhh it’s always going to be a big pleasure to hear opinions back, and it’s totally understandable because we all have different taste :blush you don’t need to be forgiven and I do enjoy your comments :hug: there’s a absolutely no worries about your skill of communication, it’s just perfect! and my English is poor also because it’s my third language :drool
       
    42. I like her either way, but to my eye, I definitely don't think she has a short neck without the adapter. I don't think it is necessary and prefer her that way. But if it looks wrong with your collection, you should do what you feel looks good. And again, I think I sound like I am criticizing when all I want to do is say I don't think the adapter is necessary, but not necessarily that I dislike her with it, it just wouldn't be my personal preference. She is in fact beautiful with it or without it, LOL, and I need to put this shovel down and stop digging my grave :doh:ablah:

    43. @IngieBee lol it’s just okay, nothing to worry about and yes she looks good in both way :drool

    44. There's so many great pics in here, I'm regretting looking so late at night since I can't comment on all of them before I fall over!


      @Poptart that whole thing is amazing!
      @luluna oh man, I'm so jealous you got your Grace to look to the side. Don't know if it's just the eyes in mine, but mine never seems to pull it off.


      Hoping I have some time for photos tomorrow.

    45. @Khlovera

      ohh Stella is one of my most favorite Sculpt. I find her to be beautiful no matter what shade and body. She looks good from nYID to the HID body. It all depends what your character for her is. I think your Venus is gorgeous.

      here is the vampy side of Nicola (Stella) on a HID body.

    46. @Ice Mutt - Oh...I usually have side glances if possible for my dolls. I had to check if my other Grace does too, and she does. :XD:

      [​IMG]Hadyn by luluna33, on Flickr

      @Bren - Oh your Vampy Stella is on the HID body....(now I've been wanting a HID Stella....:3nodding:) Nice to see the Vampy sculpt.

    47. @Bren thanks and oh yes! Definitely my favourite sculpt and she has many potential! Your HID vampire Stella is really gorgeous :nosebleed my nose’s bleeding lmao she looks perfectly proportional, now I’m trending on hid body for my Stella because of yours :chibi

      @luluna i can’t get enough with your Grace, please share more pic of her or your other Grace :love

      Looks like Iplehouse just upgraded their new shipping policy, I’m eyeing on Grace and Pamela now :drool any Pamela owner please?

    49. @Ice Mutt , sometimes it's just the style of eyes. Round ones with a low profile iris make them easier to manipulate?? But then you lose out on that depth. Still, this is the route I take, though I take awful pictures, LOL

      Oh man, @luluna your dolls are so beautiful!

    50. my grace stucked in Belgium, but i hope so she will be here soon. UK now have some strict rules for parcels from Europe.
       
    51. @luluna i wish I could be your neighbor that I could stick around your house every single day in order to see your Beautiful collection :drool:drool:drool Pamela has one of the sexiest lips among Iplehouse bjds, she is hardest to resist for me at the moment :nosebleed I heard an alarm on, dangerous

      @Anita2006 finger crossed for your Grace to be home soon
       
    52. Oh goodness Stella is amazing on the HID Body! Oh my...temptress! :lol:

      I've always loved that photo of your Grace, Luluna. Love her natural face up.

      Pamela is gorgeous! Here is one of mine...

    53. @Khlovera i hope so she will be here with other crew members soon. Maybe next week.
       
    54. @LyanneNZ oh my :nosebleed my nose cannot stop bleeding, she is just amazing, 20 more points for Pamela and she is now on the next to buy list no.1 :evilplot::evilplot::evilplot:

      @Anita2006 sooner, better :blush please share pic of them once your Grace arrived.
       
    55. @LyanneNZ , Yah, I gotta admit I thought "why HID" and when I look at @Bren 's V.Stella body, I realized it's like.... a perfect body! LOL. Athletic but feminine and just... perfect!

      @Anita2006 , Grace is worth the wait, she is so lovely. I got mine at auction, in the brown (not sure if it's dark or light??) and she is going to get a beautiful sari some day, LOL I can't wait to makei t, but then I don't get it done!!
       
    56. @IngieBee - Thank you so much!
      @Khlovera - Thank you! What a nice thing to say! I do enjoy sharing my dolls here...and appreciate the kind words! It would be fun to see other people's dolls in person! A real treat. :)
      @LyanneNZ - Your Pamela is divine!

      And speaking of Pamelas and Stellas....:XD:
      I do have another Pamela that I needed to be a big sister to one of my Stellas. And I took this photo to show how I see their similarities.

    57. @luluna
      Yes, I got Stella in all kinds of bodies. I actually like her alot on the HID. Very elegant. and I know you love her as much as I do. You should get one on that body.

      I do like your Hadyn Grace, she is so different than your other Grace. You always make them look so sexy with those side glancing eyes.

      I guess I'm one of the few that can't see Stella in Pamela. Pamela lidded eyes are so distinctive and so different than Stella's that they seem very different. Does Pamela really have that perky like nose that Stella has? Pamela is one of dolls I don't personally possess. I think her CH character colored my view of her....:3nodding:

      @Khlovera,

      Thanks and good to know that I can enable others. LOL

      @Anita2006
      Sorry to hear that your doll is stuck in Belgium. I hope she can arrived to you soon. I know how it feels, a grail of mine is doing it's round all over Russia. Hoping it will make it's way to me soon.

      @LyanneNZ,

      I think that the bikini really lets you appreciate the HID body better. And I have always found your Pamela to be so sweet and soft looking.

      @IngieBee

      hee, hee. I guess I'm on a roll. Glad to share how good that body can look with that SID head. This body is the 2nd version body which is what Iple is using at the moment. People may not recall but the 1st HC Bella had the HID original body and then they changed it and the next HID, Bring it on Lahela had the 2nd Version of the HID body. (you could get different heads in that event). So there's two bodies for the HID.

    58. I missed all that, @Bren, but then all the changes multiplied by all of my favorite makers .... I just can't remember anymore, LOL :D
