What's your hobby obsession?( apart from actual dolls)

Aug 2, 2006

    1. Cloth for sewing doll clothes for modifying, Miniature things, Miniature stuffed animals, Face ups.... Gosh ABJD's have become one of my only hobbies besides making clothes and costumes for myself

    2. Eyes and Wigs! I've got 23 pairs of eyes for 3 dolls and a long list of wants! I've got 22 wigs and I have culled quite a few from my collection with plans to cull more. I really only like certain wigs for each doll so there's no need to keep that many. They need shoes!

    8. Clothes first and foremost. Most of my doll expenditure goes to clothes. Fabric would come in second. I give in SO easily to cute jersey prints and cotton lawns which are doll scale. I've clmaped down on this recently...but I still have boxes and boxes of untouched fabric. XD;;

      I also used to be fixated on optional parts and miniature food from Y!JA...but I've collected most of the former by now, and I gave up on the latter as a bit too expensive.

    11. Ok this is either going to sound stupid or creepy, or a combination of the two.

      Hands.

      If I had the extra funds I would buy so many different hands for the boys I'd probably drive myself nuts. Hands are important because they are just as expressive as eyes. So, I want a drawer full of doll hands. :whee: (and sneakers, I love to be able to afford them more than one pair of shoes T__T )

      My roommate is right, this hobby can be really weird sometimes! :lol:

    12. My obsessions change from month to month. I'll go on a wig buying spree, then get a bunch of eyes, then I'll need hats, etc. I just bought a bunch of sunglasses & recently came off a purse obsession.

      The two consistant things are shoes & fabrics. There's just something about perfect little shoes. I've always loved doll shoes & have huge collections of them for each type of doll I have. My gang are fashionistas & have to have coordinating shoes for every outfit which isn't as easy as it sounds since, other that sneakers, most BJD shoes seem to come in black, white, pink or red. So every time I see another color I have to buy them. I've even managed to get yellow boots & metallic burgundy ones. Still looking for some nice blue shoes though. And some gold ones too.

      And fabric...what can I say about fabric? If I started sewing right now & never stopped, I doubt if I'd run out of it till I died. I've come to the realization that my fabric is a collection in & of itself. It doesn't matter if I ever use it, I just have to have it. And it has to be the good stuff, silks, embroidered linens, patterned velveteens, Japanese cottons, antique lace & even some high end synthetics. I figure my dolls deserve the very best.

      Oh, and eyes. Expensive eyes.

    15. Since Im still pretty new to this, I just love buying it all! :D

      But, right now Im really into buying wigs. Wigs, wigs, wigs!!! I can't get enough wigs! Its just so amazing how you can absolutely change the way a doll looks by changing the wig. I actually had trouble bonding with a doll until I changed his default wig. The right wig can make all the difference.

      Oh, and I love buying shoes. Those little shoes are soooo cute! :fangirl:

    19. Wigs. I have more wigs than I have bjd's. Which is really, really bad because each wig was at least 10 bucks each. I could put that together and be on my way to buying shoes! And pants. Yeah, he has no pants.

      I need to resell the wigs. The one wig that I was sure was not going to look good on anyone hasn't left my Wu's head since I first slapped it on him. The one that I got specfiically for him looked hideous. Elfdoll male resins just don't look good in black in my opinion. XD

      I'm now looking at clothes for Wu. Clothes that are in his style, and it's so hard! >_< I've been obsessed with finding just the perfect style of clothes and shoes since even before I ordered him.

      2 will be here at the end of March, and the 3rd I'm not 100% sure which one I even want, but I'm going to have enough clothes.

    24. Shoes! Doll shoes are just so wonderful, miniature (well, 1/3 scale) shoes that look just like real shoes. And shoes are the one part of the outfit I'm not able to make myself.

      Especially red shoes. All my dolls must have a pair of red shoes, and I have actually bought red shoes for dolls I don't have yet..

    34. erm I am obsessed with cheesecake pin-up and anything particularly clothes and accessories from the 40's and 50's. I am also particularly fond of burlesque and any burlesque related books, stars (mainly vintage/older performers). I am also a horder of fabric and sewing supplies (I have mountains of trimmings etc). I just can't control myself if I see something I like sewing wise I HAVE to have it.

      I should really get around to doing more sewing though... but I sometimes feel loathe to cut into my beautiful fabric. Weird hmmm...

This probably sounds a bit weird, but..new looks ^_^ I love to just think of a look for them, and then make an outfit, find a wig to go with it, search for some shoes(though luckily, most of the time I can use the shoes we already have XD)pick out the eyes, search for some props and take pictures or just stare at them and their new look..I love 'reinventing' my dolls :D

      Miniatures have always fascinated me and I used to pick through my mom's old re-ment dollhouse from when she was a kid..and i was just blown away by the detail of these gorgeous toys...Now I try to make miniatures of just about everything i can think of X3

      they fascinate me..and realistic props can really make a doll's personality stand out

    42. Lets see. First it was wigs. I have one and three on the way (and sorely tempted to buy two more). Most are for dolls I wont have for quite a while :sweat

      Then I found a less expensive habbit. Eyes. I have one pair and am currently drooling over around four pairs of Schwarzaugen eyes. One is for a drow elf that I don't even know what size she will be so its kinda silly. Two are for my future BW DES, and one pair just looks cool. Don't know what I will use gold eyes for....:sweat

      Now I am finding myself wanting little BJDs for my big BJD. I am getting a petdoll and want to get a Pury.

      I need help......

      Oh and I am in the process of learning to make little books for my doll...

      And I am trying to make a dress...

      I am the queen of tangets!!!

      But I only like clothes that are completely to scale for dolls. They look like little mini-human clothes.

    60. It was scouting out doll shoes, so few of mine can share a shoe size, need more shoes! That was cut short by the realisation the only doll of mine lacking shoes was a hooved doll. Now it's clothing, more specifically matching "sets"- shirt, pants, jackets, jewelry, the lot. I hate buying just one item and having to pay as much in shipping as I did for the item so I try to make sure I'm ordering many items I want in one go, rather than have individual peices trickle home.

      Oh, and waistcoats. I got this neat waistcoat-type thing that had coat tails recently and now I want a leather waistcoat for my Sabik, it's at the stage I am thinking up outfits I want based around the general idea of leather waistcoats and wanting to buy specific dolls to fit into them!
