So this is Ashton Drake So Truly Real Emma. She’s number 969 of a limited edition of 1000. Here are some of the things she was stuffed with : a plastic bag of brown sand/dirt, a rubber band, an empty plastic bag crammed into one leg, very nice polyfill, and a cloth sack of poly pollets. She also had coat hanger armature in her arms. I might just send this to the next person that wants to lowball me on a SOLE doll…or any doll.

Yep, that’s what Ashton Drake does. I’ve got the little Emmy and she also had plastic bags of sand inside of her, cardboard discs that looked like they were cut out of a cereal box or something glued onto the openings of the limbs, her limbs were glued to the body…
It’s as if a bunch of savages are trying to make a doll! Like, put down the sand and the glue, guys!

I know of other artists that use cardboard disks in the limbs. I haven’t started selling, but I actually started slipping disks of white cardboard behind the flanges sometimes instead of moleskin over the top. What do people think about that?

That part is fine. I was most offended by the dirty sandbags that got dust and stains on some of the polyfill, the empty plastic sacks, and the random trash like rubber bands that were stuffed in there.

I’d say plain white/grey cardboard is just fine. I do think if it’s cut out of a cereal box or something similar, I makes the reborn seem cheap.

Plugs are inexpensive. Why not to use them?

Using cardboard on hand is even less expensive

I am. She can’t be any worse than those yucky Berjusa dolls from 1985 I did. They ended up doing OK. Nobody wants them though because they are ugly LOL

How was the vinyl? Did it take paint different? Did you use air dry or GHSP? I’m working up the nerve to start mine!
