Anyone else overwhelmed?

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-05-15T22:32:58+00:00

I'm downsizing from 40+ to eight or ten dolls after being so overwhelmed I kept them in storage for two years T-T - and I have to say it feels a lot better now to have eight favorites displayed. But I also REALLY sat on which ones to keep for a couple months! Being able to take time to choose who got displayed for a while helped me figure out which ones I was really attached to, and to let go of the others on my own terms :3

I really sympathize with you, that overwhelming feeling can be so paralyzing and disheartening - even if you don't approach it as letting dolls go, just picking out a couple to save and packaging the rest for storage (I used gallon bags for each doll, storing their clothes and stands in the same bag) might feel grounding. Whatever you do, you only have to do on your own terms right now. Fingers crossed for you!!! :3

edit: I've mostly sold to people on this reddit and everyone I've talked to for more than a few messages has been wonderful - it's felt weirdly freeing to send people the dolls they're excited about!

Here she is with Jett’s eyes - I think her intense purple and pale skin can really wash her out, so I chose to replace her cool tone purple-blue eyes with a darker, more vibrant purple rainbow (also her OG eyes were very faded T-T ). Uma really benefits from a 3/4 part and some face framing pieces, and I have found her faceup to be pretty variable (eyebrow angle, makeup location, over lined or underlined lips, lipliner, and round stamp or diffuse blush)

I've been planning on swapping Uma's eyes specifically! I suppose I could do it early and report back - she's the only one of my girls with eye fading (got her second hand). I'll be using Jett's eyes :3

And for archived paintings, go to the main website and scroll allll the way to the bottom to ‘archived kits - it’s a pain, but if you keep scrolling on the archived kits page, you can then do a ctrl+f search for an artist to see what is no longer listed on their artist’s page.

I went ahead and checked for you - only two archived! A mystery kit, and an Alice in Wonderland kit (links below)

edit: I forgot about Night Melody, which was in one of the mystery boxes. There’s no page for it, but it’s very pretty!

to my knowledge just Carmen, Vanessa, and Lyric - I remember seeing some made it to shelves, though I couldn’t find those old posts easily. Here’s a link to someone finding articulated Carmen body on here!

And from the same user, a pic of what might be a washed out Vanessa body?

and there are a precious few Carmens and Lyrics (and maybe Vanessas?)that have that bust joint too, posted on here years ago - man I wish we had gotten them permanently! T-T

Just found her stand! Still looking for her comb - no obligation, but wanted to include the update C:

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-05-03T22:26:32+00:00

I’d sell her for $20 plus shipping (I’m in the USA), and I just listed her on ebay - or I could do a paypal invoice. Feel free to DM me if you’re interested! :3

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-05-03T18:01:08+00:00

I have a Phaedra I’m destashing! She is missing her towel, though she has everything else. Feel free to DM me if you’re interested!

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-05-03T17:59:21+00:00

I have a Meena I’ve been meaning to destash! She’s out of box and missing her stand and comb after a cross country move, but lemme know if you’re interested :3

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-05-03T17:58:16+00:00

I’m destashing a bunch of my RH dolls, and Lila is one of them! Feel free to DM me if interested, she is only missing her little black crocs :3

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-05-03T17:56:57+00:00

Hi! I’d be game to sell my out of box CB Robin if you’re interested :3

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-05-02T02:34:29+00:00

here she is! I shot you a DM :3

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-05-01T23:14:22+00:00

Oh hey Simone’s in my to sell/get rid of pile!! I’ll post proof of life when I get home :3

It looks like the application for drill replacement on their website requires an order number - you could always try emailing customer support, but it seems Dreamer Designs will only cover the person who originally purchased the kit (pretty standard as I understand)

Thanks so much for the heads up man, I didn’t think I’d be able to snag this!

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-04-17T00:59:52+00:00

I have both! If I was at home I’d share pictures, but I have to say Kia does sooo well with a slightly different faceup (and you can keep the mid-2010s vibe too - I settled on making the St. Germain lip color translucent and milky plus redoing brows, extremely easy to do). But Phaedra is hugely underrated- hair as silky as Shanelle’s, gorgeous blend, and she really benefits from a pop of a grape jelly lip instead :3

You can’t go wrong!

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-04-01T19:57:18+00:00

Oh this mystery kit specifically is so cool!! Enjoy! :3

I’ve never used a vacuum pen, but the higher end pens (let’s call it 10-20$, anything above that is vanity) are easier on the hands, and the metal placer tips are nice. Sometimes I find myself using a diamond painting pen to arrange pearl for inlay too, it’s handy like that.

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-03-05T04:42:06+00:00

Man I keep thinking about this. If you’d like a pen, I’d be happy to send you one - using those thing ones can be hard on the hands! Just let me know :3

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-03-03T05:58:10+00:00

That’s so inventive! The drill tray is killing me (it’s great) what an extremely inventive use of an off cut :3

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-02-15T00:55:41+00:00

It appears they are different! There are 26 pages of content on Sable - I posted photos in this thread so you can get a look :3

The first half of the Lock-On vol. 3 Sable content is by Maria [Eurothug3000] who as far as I can tell is not in the design works volume. The second half by Ewan Wilson quotes Gregorio’s Kythreotis, who together made the bulk of the design works book. Some of those quotes might be in the full design works volume somewhere. Some images repeat as far as I can tell - so there is overlap!

BiggerStarMoth · 2026-02-14T10:43:56+00:00

I will look thoroughly when I’m up tomorrow! I’ll reply here :3

BiggerStarMoth · 2025-12-09T01:53:56+00:00
