GLAM!

You know, this is an interesting thread. It's one of the things I always found fascinating about the dolling community: the sharing of bases, credit given, sharing resources, a bit of collaborative art. Actually, it was one of the things that I loved online: making something together, be it written ...

Ow ow, just what I needed to see! I love the variety in theme and it's awesome to see a DnD character. Hope to see more!

Hi I was just thinking of dolling and looked up Glam! too... So many people returning. Must be something in the air.

What is it about dolling that keeps drawing me back time and again...? Hope you are still around, Veriria!

Elias is pronounced EL-ee-as in Dutch. So you're not wrong, just geographicallty challenged.

This is why we have trouble finding a name for our pup. Because it's pronounced one way in English and another way in Dutch.

So we're going for a Spanish name. Makes sense.

There are 3 buses I can take to work. The early one, the regular one and the late one. The regular one is regularly too busy. So I experimented with taking the earlier one, which was also busy, and then the later one, which is also busy. ... I hate crowded buses. Also. I hate when a bus is scheduled...

yes, apparently everyone else starting out dolling half decent dolls. Let me present you with this though. Base by pinkland http://daenerys.fiveanddae.com/dolls/a_old/PL_wedstrijddollkornelia_dae2002.gif Sweaty underboobs, no definition to the hair and ... well... No need for shoes due to length of ...

I don't love-love characters There are a few that I feel a connection to, and I usually go for the interesting character that is not a main character. I always liked Duncan Idaho in Dune. Obviously so did Herbert, because Idaho turns into a main character in the rest of the series. I still fume at s...

... more good news, which was needed after finding the bathroom flooded this morning, due to the workers on the roof NOT COVERING THE AIR VENT and it RAINING HARD. (Okay, I should take that to the other thread...) GOOD NEWS: I was lucky enough to be asked if I wanted to take a place in a course due ...

I am nostalgic for many things, doll websites not one of them. Because I still maintain one and still visit some regularly. Not all are updated of course. A website of my own is way way WAY more easy to maintain than dA's clunky interface for uploading and sorting dolls. I don't like browsing on dA ...

*hugs Nunu* It's a wonderful thing when a dream like that comes true! There's a dog out there, for you!

Well done, 4br4! Congratz! Good news, everyone! Dae is finally getting a puppy! Hopefully! We've not seen it yet! I want to see it before I commit to buying it! But it is the first step to fulfilling my lifelong dream! And also: I am excited about coding again (which probably means there could be so...

I do! I do remember you! One of the Dutch dollers, and one of the really really nice dollers, too!

Welcome back to dolling!

I just checked out your site and may have to use that doll-base thingy. I just need an idea.

Youv've never been away, Lilly. That was just a dream ... just a dream...

1. I haven't been on Glam! since ... oh, a long time. 2. I am finally getting a puppy. 3. I have a Harry Potter keyring. It has winged key on it. I also have a snitch somewhere, attached to a HP diary. Our address book is HP themed as well. .. And I am not even a HP fan. Even if I have the books in ...

Hankie? You still make dolls???
(no, we dont know each other, but omg, that name is from way back when! And now I officially feel old.)

Pippi is always awesome, and I really like the base. They should make toys like that... *off to visit your site*

Yeah, we are STILL looking for more people who might be interested in doing stuff to create a site by multiple voices about dolling.

Just pm me if you're interested or post your questions here

The thing is, Megan, Internet has changed. We're dinosaurs. Kids boorn around 2000 don't 'get' websites. I know, from experience. They do instagram, facebook, tumblr, whatsapp, but not forums or websites. If you want to reach new dollers, you have to use the channels they use. And mind you, where we...

It's about allowing yourself to have fun, for me. There are so many rules about what we're supposed to enjoy or not, and when you are enjoying something that others do not, it can sometimes be hard to feel justified that it's okay to enjoy it. I don't really care too much about what other people thi...

Yes! The coding is not an issue. I am using a template anyway, and I can handle the backend of Wordpress easily.
I'll pm you this weeked, Blu. I am sure we can work something out. Would be nice to have other 'voices' on the site.

I finally settled on a theme. Because I just don't the the energy to make my own theme... I am a little lazy that way. Reinventing the wheel would also not appeal to me.

Anyway, update in progress. I would still welcome help if anyone feels like ... helping out.

Thanks all :) I am positive that my dolling experience is helping with this. It's so similar... I mean: tiny canvas, base miniature made by someone else, and we just customise. It helps a lot that those mini's are nicely detailed, but even than we 'edit' the base if necessary. 4br4, those ladies are...

I don't see it as a division :S Dolling is a collaboration. Miniature digital art is not. It's something different from collaboration art, sure. But this is not dividing dolling. Dolling really is collaboration art. Baseless is not. I think that if I made baseless dolls, I would not call them dolls ...

You bring up good points, Mariii. I think collaboration really is a defining feature of dolling. Not to negate on baseless work, but (unless that base is for more or less common use) it is not what dolling is to me. People who make these wonderful baseless dolls should take pride in their work, and ...

Wonderful to see so many dolls

Special thanks to Parker for the high-heel-booted beauty under an umbrella (ella ella... I wont be getting that out of my head anytime soon ) She's awesome!
