i got inspired by antique furniture -> decided to try and make a wooden doll.

the op linked the study in the replies & i’ve been skimming it & it’s actually rlly rlly interesting to think abt

in the appendix (which you can find by scrolling down) CA:TWS is listed as having one torture scene, which immediately made me wonder because there are two that I can think of.

further on in the appendix when the authors are discussing the criteria for including torture, they give the vault scene in CA:TWS as an example of a scene that isn't torture, with the justification that Bucky seems to comply with his captors, and given the information shown on screen we can't conclude whether or not Bucky is a willing participant in the "wipe." Willing participants cannot be tortured, therefore the vault scene is not counted as torture

That is a WILD take on that scene. "doesn't fight back" does not equal "not being tortured" come on now

now, I could see disqualifying the vault scene as being a torture scene on the basis that the purpose of the "wipe" is not to inflict pain, it just happens to be an extremely painful process.

That's an interesting take. Is doing something incredibly painful or distressing to a person torture when there is ostensibly a secondary purpose to the painful thing, even though it also clearly doubles as a way of inflicting suffering and asserting power? This is a really important question to answer, since a lot of instances of torture and mistreatment in prisons and military situations etc. seem to fall under this. e.g. a strip search is nominally for "security" purposes, but it is also forced nudity which is a common form of sexual violence inflicted as part of torture.

But disqualifying the scene because there is not enough evidence that Bucky is being coerced to do it is nuts, since immediately prior Bucky gets slapped in the face for not answering a question and doesn't retaliate, and immediately before that Bucky gets a bunch of guns pointed at him when he acts up

That's another important question. Does being forced to comply with or participate in your own torture disqualify it from being torture?

The answer is, to me, obviously no, and in fact this seems like a relatively common feature of torture: e.g. forcing prisoners to dig their own graves requires a good amount of compliance from the victim and that's a major reason why it's so distressing

In this small diorama, this vintage doll is playing with her dolls 🤎

...no matter how crumbled her surroundings.

I created this little scene inside this antique foot stove.

I think using socks for doll clothes is a pretty universal experience when you're first starting out creating a wardrobe. I personally love pushing the boundaries working within the medium to evoke knit fabrics in a doll scale to create more sophisticated pieces, make items not normally associated with doll sock fashion such as pants, and getting meta with dolls wearing effigies of themselves or creating socks... out of socks.

Too often the sock dress is sometimes relegated to the realm of the beginner, unable to achive a more sophisticated look that most adult collectors are drawn to. I feel socks can be one of the most versatile weapon in a doll sewist's arsenal:

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

wow I don't want to buy this whole set just for the puppy

but boy do I want that dog

Ohh my god no I had not

Oh noooo the cutieness 😱

no leaves, but plenty of eyes.

inspired by me spacing out on a long drive & staring at trees. this happened earlier this year, and birches ended up growing leaves before i finished the doll.

Tanya Mousekewitz Funko Pop x Monster High hybrid doll

A doll of Tanya had been in my brain for ages, and seeing this Tanya pop finally pushed me to make one. the sculpt isn't too bad for a pop, just don't look at her from certain angles...

I actually had to redo her eyes because the first attempt I got her eye color wrong.🤦 Her eyes in the movie are such a pale blue, she mostly looks like she just has black dots instead of irises at all, so I didn't realize until I found some higher quality clips.

Page 18 of that is this:

I have embarked upon making the motorcycle jacket

The only photo of the front is the small flat lay in the section that tells you what page the pattern is on

and this is the pattern

I'm making it from cotton--that plus the fact I've made motorcycle jackets for me make this project more fiddly than challenging (so far), because I certainly can't read the instructions there's a rough translation here, thanks to @the-queer-rambler!

The result, now that I've sewn it enough to get an idea of fit, is generous "Original" Barbie size (should be able to fit over other clothes), or Curvy size (with fewer layers under it.)

From PURE DOLL GUIDE 001　ピュアドールガイド００１ by Grapicsha, 2005

My sister Squishdellia made this adorable Jade cosplay for her doll! All hand made, beautiful details; she liked Jade’s god tier design so she did her own interpretation. The doll is a Bluefairy Sarang.

Look at the detail! She is amazing. 

and a few DollyBird scans, too

Random samples find Dolly Dolly listed as: • 280mm x 215mm • 280mm x 210mm • 285mm x 225mm • 280mm x 220mm So we can probably assume 280mm tall is good

Random samples of DollyBird are: • 300mm x 220mm (this measurement set appeared twice in the sample) • 300mm x 215mm • 305mm x 215mm so we can probably scale DollyBird at 300mm tall

Mid-90s, includes patterns for things made from felt

Patterns designed for Barbie bodies from before 1999. This one should be read in the order of Japanese books, which seems like back to front to westerners

This next one is American and requires an Internet Archive account to check out. It's crochet, from 2002

A little more text-heavy (interviews with designers) than the other Japanese doll pattern magazines

Spanish language, very late 80s/early 90s

Sheena's in a goth gang now!
