Design a dollPosted Jun-28-08 03:42:26 PDT Updated Jun-28-08 03:43:20 PDT I've received a request from a lady on etsy to design a doll for her!! I'm not sure yet if I'm going to do it because she has already registered the name she wants for it and to be honest if I'm going to spend a lot of time designing a doll I would prefer it to be under the EleLou Primitives label. It's a bit of an odd request, she wants something with large hips and boobies to appeal to teenagers. Pardon me if I'm not getting the point here, but I thought that most teenagers wanted to be slim and in proportion, not have hips like women in Reubens paintings. Of course it feels great to be asked to design something like this but I'm going to give it a few days before I let her know if I will do it or not. I've got so much on at the moment anyway, what with Victorian weekend dolls to make, stuff for my website and my two shoppes in DJ Doodles shopping malls, not to mention ebay and etsy that I don't know if I can devote the time to designing as well. The house is beginning to look positively "Quentin Crisp" like too and I hope he was being truthful when he said the dust doesn't get any thicker after the first ten years!! LOL. Tomorrow is designated a housework day and a baking day, cos I love making scrummy cakes and the last batch has gone already. Fortunately my partner is a dab hand with the washing machine and the vacuum cleaner so at least we have clean carpets and something to wear. I think I've been caught by suprise because I didn't think that my primitives and things would ever be that popular. Of course, it's what I was aiming for but now it's happened it's a bit of a shock, I've gone from being the kid looking at the sweets through the shop window to being able to go in and buy whatever I want. Weird, but nice. I've also started to sell fabric too but fortunately that doesn't take a lot of time once it's listed. People appear to be buying it so I'm going to stick with it. I get it all direct from my local mill and it is exellent quality. I wouldn't sell any fabric that I don't use myself. I might even begin to sell other haberdashery stuff too. I'll just see how things go. So, now it's back to the drawing board, the sewing machine and the needle and thread. |
