The Mushroom Peddler Wonderlings Discussion part 1

Awesome! I have a Magic the Unicorn I can now post about. I have no pictures as I'm still trying eyes and wigs. Plus the blushing I did isn't what I intended so I need to start over. I'm just so thrilled these are on topic now!

 

To add to the list up top, there's also Meow the Cat, Grin the Cheshire Cat, Floppy the Lop, Fluff the Bunny, Squeak the Rat, Nibbles the Mouse, Kitsune the Fox, and Elli the Elephant. (I feel like I'm still forgetting someone...)

I've got several Wonderlings at home, but unfortunately the only one that's in a finished enough state to have gotten photoshoots is Mordiford, my little Singe.

That Shelly is adorable! You went for naturalistic colours too? When I got my Crikey about four years ago I just sent T.M.P. a photo of a crocodile as reference for the faceup :P

I'm really glad to see there are other people who like T.M.P too! When I was last on this forum in 2012 there were a few more threads but I guess they got absorbed by the archive. I'm glad the Wonderlings are on-topic! Crikey's the only BJD I have. What made them go off topic?

Looking at her shop again right now, I'd love a Ribbit! When I originally opened Crikey's box he had two plastic frogs with him that I've unfortunately lost since then; it'd be cute to get him a little froggy friend. But they don't seem to be for sale right now...

 

I've owned a bunch of these guys over the years, but currently only own Shelly (who is getting a redo) and I have a Magic on the way...so I was wondering if anyone else has Magic they want to post? Mine is coming blank with no tail or mane...So I get to start from total scratch.

 

VampireAngel13 I have a Magic. I'm still thinking of what to do with mine. I did blush his hooves and finger tips grey, but I think I messed up, so I will have to start over.

 

I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing either lol. Mine was just shipped today, so I have a little time to figure it out (we had great weather over the weekend and it's supposed to be snowing by next weekend...so no faceups for a while)...but I'm totally at a loss right now.

I'm thinking silver or gold on the hooves\fingers\horn. That's as far as I've gotten. Not very far.

 

@VampireAngel13 Your idea sounds great, I like gold, very pretty! I was pondering this last night, and thought maybe I should completely start over and use iridescent pearl powders on the hooves and horn with a simple face up. I think pure white looks good. Eh, I'm at a loss! I'll eagerly await to see what you do as your dolls are so well done! Too bad about e snow though. We had some yesterday!

 

Oh definitely! If you can't go shimmery or sparkly on a unicorn, what can you sparkle?? I have pearl powders, metallic pastels...glitter. I used a lot of it on my "human" unicorns (Unoas), and a little shimmer on DollFactory Conie. I think it will look great.

I just tracked mine...it hasn't actually gone anywhere yet. The notice was just sent to the PO :\
Story of my life this week.

 

Magic is here! I love it. The engineering is so much better than the old ones, I'm so impressed. I wish our weather wasn't going to be horrible this weekend... magic may be blank for a while....

 

Congratulations on getting your Magic! Nice weather? What's that? I hope you get some good weather soon as nothing is more frustrating than having to wait when you are inspired. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do!

 

It's lovely to see this thread. I am a big fan of Sarah's work. I don't have a wonderling buy do have an Ivy Impling. I might have to add a Wonderling in too

 

Thank you! lol right? I got one of the other dolls I was waiting on yesterday, and it's the same thing. I really wish I had the weather. But for magic I'm now waiting on other things - I ordered rainbow fur for the mane and tail....so he won't be done regardless.

i recommend Magic! I used to own the bunnies...fluff and floppy I think? And they were great, but Magic seems so improved by comparison.

Off topic (both for the thread and DOA) but the teeny ones are adorable too. I have two of those, I love them.

 

@VampireAngel13 A rainbow mane/tail?! Awesome! Oh, so pretty!

Mine is so neglected, I have to do something for him...

 

I got a picture:



I'm off work today and tomorrow to avoid the hell that is the St. Patrick's Day parade, and my fur came! So I threw together a tail. The fur is more blue than I realized, but I think it's ok! I'm hoping to get more color on him when I do the mane...but he'll need to be blushed first and it's still too cold out, so. None of that. But a start!

 

Congratulations! The tail is so cute! Seeing yours makes me want to get mine out and clean him up and reblush the hooves in sparkle powder.

Oh yeah, St Patrick's Day, I'd forgotten. Great you have time off to work on your dolls! Have fun!

 

I wasn't aware this thread was on here, I have three MP dolls

This is my modded Crikey: I took off the eyebrow bumps and added eyelids because I wanted her to be a girl and I also gave her the stripes. Next to her is my modded Shelley: I gave her more of a beak nose and gave her eyelids too and did her face up. I hope you like them.



I also have a MP Rat, but I'm in the process of modding it into a opossum.

 

Oh, yes, they are very unique! You did a great job on the mods, and painting! An opossum, I do think they are cute, so I'd love to see your rat to opossum mod too.

 

They're adorable! Great job on the mods!
I need to work on my Shelly...he was Yurtle the Turtle...but I'm changing him to be a TMNT. So... total makeover.

 

Thank you, I enjoyed modding them and was so happy they turned out so well.

Thank you! Oooo, I can't wait to see your mod!

 

So nice to see that the Wonderlings are now ontopic
As I left for a longer break they were still offtopic.

I like to show you Apollo, my cute Griff the Griffon:


I ordered him directly with full body blushing and I'm so happy that it turned out like i had hoped

 

I have a Kitsune the fox, in a light grey. Winter, I think he was called? I asked her for mismatched eyes and simply love the result. I will have to figure out how to post pictures from my phone, as I do so enjoy taking shots of him. My little Haine.

 

I had no idea this artist existed until just now! These are super cute. I especially like the griffon and dragon; I feel like it's hard to find bipedal griffons and dragons with more animalistic heads (rather than horns/fin ears etc), so that's pretty cool.

Obviously (me being me) I'm also really smitten with the tiny Tuffet the Spider! (Although... I'm not sure that's on topic exactly lol).

 

And the artist is such a sweetheart to work with. Such a nice person.

 

Has anyone seen the previews on Facebook for Hazel the Elderling?

 

I love finding Mushroom Peddler here for comments! I've got four of her charming dolls and love getting ideas for my Shelly who is waiting and waiting......I am dying for one of the Imps and you couldn't ask for a nicer person to work with either. I am hoping she will reopen the kitties as I want a one-eyed version like my Dengar and I know she could easily pull it off. Can't wait for more pics of everyones' dolls.

 

Just reviving this thread a little bit...I have Singe the dragon, but I've just realised he has no wings. Did singe get produced without wings? Because he has none, not even an opening where they would go. I purchased him second hand years ago, when the dreaded "R" weren't even a thing so I don't think he is. I took the faceplate off and the signature is there plus the copyright is 2010. I'm hoping someone will know.

 

Got the answer, thank you!

 

My Singe sat white for more years than I care to admit, but here he is completed...and yes, my dragon has wings.


He's a gentle, confident dragon who takes care of his friends when they are in need of a little warmth, even though he can hardly raise a flame.

 

Is Squee the Axolotl Water Dragon considered a wondering? Because I should be getting one soon!

 

Well hopefully so because here's the new addition! I've dubbed them Smudge and I adore the little 3d printed friend they came with!
