What was your concept?
It isn't the young professors first house, but this is the one he hopes to keep. He can imagine what it will look like once he's repainted the walls and stripped the thick white paint the previous owners put over the built in bookshelves and cabinetry. He didn't understand why people did that, ruining beautiful old wood like that. He wants the study to be worthy of his books and the things he collects; the unpacking is going slowly, but he's determined to make progress. He wants it to look like it's his house, rather than someone else's house with his things in it. It'll happen, but it'll take time. Moving is hell.

What was your concept?
My inspiration for this piece is M.C. Escher’s ‘Relativity,’ the picture with everyone going up and down different staircases. Throughout the competition, I’ve thought a lot about collectors’ views on Asian Ball Jointed Dolls and how varied the points of view are. It’s all relative. It’s very much like the people walking in the original piece…some may be going one way, and someone else, another. We all love our dolls, but we enjoy our hobbies in different way and with a varying sense of what is aesthetically pleasing. That and I wanted to see if ‘Relativity’ could be replicated in a new way. At first I wanted it to look JUST like Escher’s image, but the Puki dolls wanted color so I came up with the concept that they were painting their own set and truly making it their own.

What was your concept?
My doll&#8217;s story is set in a luxurious mansion and I knew immediately that I wanted to create a room in which that story could unfold. I wanted the room to have traditional Victorian and Rococo touches while still feeling sleek and modern. To do this, I decided to use only back, white and silver/gray. The green came into the design when the marble I printed turned out more colorful than expected. I played it up with plants to make the room feel alive and vibrant. I was determined to make the furniture and accessories feel as if they had been in the room for several generations, hence the fainting couch and its aged silver legs and base. I went with modern checkered fabric to give the impression that the room had recently been renovated and restored. I hope the room feels like a harmonious blend between modern and Victorian styles so that the overall impression is one of timelessness.

What was your concept?
I knew what I wanted as soon as the contest was announced... a Victorian themed living room just for my dolls! I knew that it wasn't very original, or that other people might do it.... but I really wanted it for my dolls. I decided on MSD size. I went for a red/green color scheme and just made it up as I went when I found junk materials. I had so many other plans (chandelier, stove, plates) but I ran out of time or money. I'm definitely keeping it and my dolls will live in it often! The only problem is.... it's so big!

The sculpty were little blocks I found in my old craft bin. Same with the scrap fabric for the 'pillow' and blanket just strips of scrap fabric

What was your concept?

What was your concept?
The whole thing started with the idea of making a lava lamp. It snowballed into the idea of Zack moving out of his parents' basement as signing up with SOLDIER. Being a young man his furniture would consist of a beanbag chair, a table made from a pallet, and a lava lamp. He couldn't afford the cinderblock shelving unit. ^_~
