Rosette 47cm discussion Part 6

Yay new thread!
and some old spam for the new thread

It's ok Edi

 

Yay! We've made it to Part 6!! Woooo!!

Wanted to share a tender moment between the girls~

 

Great! Maybe I'll just order ASAP instead of waiting for a GO then. Feet in hand > else

 

I'm glad they've put the heeled feet up for sale. I'm tempted to buy a set, but my Vela is suntan brown. :-(

 

I wasn't expecting a new rosette release so soon! And I love everything about this release except the Delilah sculpt. I'm not into open mouth dolls.... But I might have to make an exception. I could have a pure body elf to keep my fir company... I might just get the outfit and hope they release another sculpt with elf ears.

 

YES for High-Heeled Parts I need 2 pairs for my girls.

 

oh my goodness, elf ears! I get the feeling that Rosette actually took our survey answers to heart!

 

This just in: they are, in fact, high heel feet with resin stillettos.

Are those the new, just released HH feet? interesting...

Oh! and belated easter spam!

 

They're sort of odd-looking feet but they exactly fit in the resin shoes. These feet have toes, but the bottom of the foot is strange and has no arch.

 

So it's basically the resin shoes they come with or nothing... hmm... I'm going to stick to MNF heel feet

 

I haven't tried them with normal shoes, but I don't really like the look of them. They don't have much of a heel to fasten a strap around and the toes aren't sculpted very well. Tomorrow, I'll see if I can find some shoes to fit them out of my stash. I think these feet would be fine in boots, but I don't think they would look nice in strappy sandals.

 

Aww :/

I coulda told them that... (that they were different releases). -3-

I was so disappointed by the appearance of the new heeled feet after seeing the pics here that I wrote them (using Anna's and linakauno's pics --sorry >.<) hoping they could realise how much the feet detracted from the Rosettes' elegance and fine craftsmanship and that maaaaybe they still had the original molds they could use in this release? Okay I knew the chances of that working was like <5%, but I was hopeful for a second >.<

Looks like I won't be ordering any heeled feet this time round :/ Gosh, I could make my own and they'd turn out better than what's available... I once didn't believe that possible but now I kind of do.

edit:
"The shape is different from the one above because it needs to fit the shoes parts that come along perfectly."
And we know this is a moot point because the original feet fit into shoe parts too, didn't they? They kinda still have the exact same listing photo to show it so I don't know how they could forget.

Oh oh! Maybe next they can do a Cinderella release to justify slicing off parts of the foot to fit the shoe! You like that, Soom?

 

Awww Phoo! I was hoping for the pretty little feet like Anna posted... imo $50 is a bit steep for feet that can't be really worn without shoes... *pout*

Edit - ahhaha just saw your comment about Cinderella Momiji, it gave me a good chuckle! XD

 

Are they seriously $50? I didn't even look at the price. Well, that puts an end to my gonna-get-some-even-though-I-sold-the-girl-who-would-wear-them plan. If they had been available when I still had my ST Fir, it would have been a different story. Too little too late in this case. Sorry Soom.

 

Hey, no problem about using my photo. I am unhappy about the weird feet too. I think pointy-toed stilettos are just about the ugliest shoes around (only surpassed by lobster-claw shoes) and even if I liked them, I would prefer my dolls in real doll shoes, not painted resin ones. It would have been so easy for them to manufacture the original useful high heel feet instead of going to all the trouble of inventing new weird ones. I just don't get it.

 

Yeah, I don't get the redesign either :/
The only two explanations I can think of are:
1. They wanted to keep the collectors value of the Versailles edition feet (and understandable that people who were lucky enough to get them may feel that way too).
2. The lost the mold for the original feet :P

Sooo I was half joking before, but I actually did end up making --a foot

Link to pic cos it's creepy-lookin'

Yes just one foot. As I anticipated before starting, I ran out of energy to do the other foot. I also completely lack the appropriate materials and equipment to make one to the quality and finesse I want (and I doubt I'll be stringing Super Sculpey), but gosh... after getting frustrated by Soom's...Soomness, I just wanted to DO something.

 

eeeee! I just ordered elf delilah, on the muse girl body. She is going to be the faerie queen over all my tinies (various sprites, elves, fairies, etc.). She will be my first MSD, but I've been eyeing the Rosettes for a really long time. I guess I was just waiting for the perfect one to melt my resolve. I'm very excited! I ordered her eyes and wig with her too. yay!

 

Yay! Congrats!! You're going to love her Rosettes are so much fun

 

I can't wait to see all the girls we've ordered come in, especially with the full sets and fantasy parts (does this mean they all have magnets in their heads?), and of course the awesome elf Delilah x3 I didn't get any extras with my Vela but here's hoping her Fairy Tale faceup doesn't disappoint!

Lol thank you Anna and Kittywolf :P

Btw Anna, I think you were the one I heard once saying your 2011 heeled feet came in the stilettos in their promo pic... Would you still happen to have them to take a photo of (feet+shoes)? I've pretty much dropped my case with Soom, but then Victoria replied with one more question

which sounds like they honestly don't know much about those original feet (due to change of staff, maybe). Any chance you can put their thoughts to rest? Or tell me if I've been feeding them the wrong info :P

 

yes, i did order the faceup. I hope it looks as lovely in person as it does in the picture.

 

Anna - Aww Soom is so strict >_< But the Versailles heeled feet did fit in their own resin shoes right?
I doubt your feet would go in linakauno's shoes though because I'm fairly certain they did a lazy job on those too and hollowed them out just enough to fit the weird new foot. Thanks for the offer though (And even if the outside measurements matched, it's probably better just to tell them whether or not the original feet had their own shoes to fit into.)

 

Ok then, the new foot is a little under 4.5 cm in length, the widest part (at the toe) is 2 cm. At the heel, it measures a little under 1.5 cm. The toes don't actually go into the resin shoe which measures right at 5 cm and is not hollow at the toes; the foot just sits on top of the resin shoe which would have to be fastened to the foot in order to stay on. This is a very odd design, in my opinion, because you would have to glue the bottom of the foot to the shoe unless the doll was on a stand, perfectly still. The bottom of the foot is perfectly flat so it will fit firmly in a shoe. This foot is bigger than a 15" fashion doll foot, but might fit in one of the larger fashion dolls like Evangeline Ghastly. If it doesn't quite fit, I think it could be modded slightly. That is probably what I will do with them, especially as Facets by Marcia has lots of great shoes that fit her.

 

What the heck kind of design choice is that? -__-

But ooooh, I'm loving those boots at Facets by Marcia. I wonder how those would fit if I managed to find some feet for my Vela.

 

I think that is the way soom does most of there high heel feet now. I got one of the soom fairies with feet and shoes like that. I have also seen this design in the big girls as well.

 

I remembered that I have some of those Facets shoes for Evangeline and posted some new photos here: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?623077-Soom-Rosette-new-high-heel-feet-review. These feet might fit Minifee shoes, but they're not very pretty feet for sandals. They might look ok in boots.

 

In honor of Lubelle's incoming Delilah, Hadassah had a central roll in this week's photostory!



Link to story!

 

aww, thanks! What a sweet story! Hadassah is lucky to have such caring uncles and such an understanding auntie. Now I am even more excited for my girl to arrive!

 

My Violet's elbows have the round part toward her wrist (so the pegs up) and the knees have the bigger part upward toward the hip.

 

Some pics in addition to what purplevix said:



I couldn't find any letter markings on the elbows though.

edit: Oh, but that's a pure body; I'm not sure if the muse joints are different.
Congratulations too on your beautiful girl Kittywolf!

 

That's how I've got my girl strung. Is her string too thick? I have that problem in Oethel's arms.

 

Here's my Violet whom I got as an X-Mas kit a year ago; just arrived from a faceup artist! Name's Marshmallow. Have yet to pick up her clothes from post office (hopefully the day after tomorrow), but I can't wait to show off her gorgeous faceup; too bad my camera ate most of the fine details!

 

I finally stopped being lame and finished Miranda's knit pig!


Miranda and Piggy Pete

Now Hadassah and Edi want knit plushies too...

 

That's a cute plushie, Girrl! It looks like a human-sized toy scaled down to doll size, the stitches are so small; did you use some kind of micro-needles and extra thin yarn?

Thanks, Kittywolf13! I wish my camera was better at capturing details though~

Today I took my dolls outside to take some pictures while trees are still in bloom (mostly cherry and bird cherry trees, followed by apples and other species), so here's a photo of Marshmallow with some greenery.

 

That's exactly what I did I used 000 needles (1.5mm) and laceweight yarn. I have smaller needles and thinner yarn, but those are the sizes I use most often for doll knitting

Marshmallow looks super cute and ready for spring!

 

The Vela will be not propose in basic ?
I want her so baaad right now. :'(

 

My Fir decided to change herself yet again. This time she's a mage with a bit of an odd fashion sense who would like me to bring home an elf Rosette for her companion.

Fir by amandylion, on Flickr

 

Love her in the blonde wig! And I kinda like the fashion choices

 

Aww I love that pose and what's she's doing with her hair, amandylion ^^

 

Felixata - So very Lolita / fairy pastel kei! I love her! Makes me think of my minifee girl.

My Rosette girl when I get her will be my one more traditional girl most of the time haha.

 

Thanks! She ended up with leftover clothes from the drawer since nothing seemed to work for her. I told her plaid and paint splatter don't go together but she has taken to the combination. I ended up having to brace her hands under her wig to get her to hold the pose, but there are no rubber bands or anything. I love the look of Rosettes, they always look like a high fashion model.

 

I bought myself a 47cm Rosette for Christmas. She's a Violet sculpt, and her head has been blank for several months while I procrastinated over getting her a good faceup. Finally! She got back from Krowbar yesterday, and I'm just so happy with her. She looks really sweet, and I love the gentle smattering of freckles. Sadly my photography just doesn't do her justice. I'll need to have a session with the tripod in the hope of picking up all the fine detail.

 

She does have a beautiful, wide eyed innocent look. She is lovely!

 

I just realised I need to line the eyes up properly, heh. But thanks. She's adorable and needs some better pics.
