Good morning! :D (Or afternoon or evening) How's it going, everyone?

@Shadami: Thanks, you too! I've only got pre-launch and September ones so far, but I'm sure you'll find current crates around soon enough! :D
@Lady Luna: Definitely was a pleasant surprise seeing so many new uploads! I had been stalking the item previews but didn't expect so much when we came back!
@Lady Luna: I'm also super happy they added a mint color! I love mint. Or anything in the blue-green realm. <3
@Lady Luna: Thank you! :D I like your single-colored avi too. The sunset color is so pretty. <3 I absolutely love this bubblegum color, too. It's so cute!

Same here! I just had a mini common shopping spree because I had to try out some of the new stuff. I just love all the little accessories they came out with.
@Lady Luna: Space is probably the #1 hardest thing to figure out when it comes to crafting or painting. >< I swear if I could have like a full studio the size of my apartment I still could fill it all up with stuff and not have enough room. :vanora_sweat:

Time to revive this now that we're back. <3 Always looking for more art!
@Lady Luna: Oh! You do watercolor? :D That's awesome. I've tried it in the past and it was a ton of fun.

Yeah, I hope Dashing Kicks comes out with lots of new shoes over time! I always love mixing and matching them. :)
@Lady Luna: You never know! Omg you should see some of my early stuff. I looked like I was drawing with a crayon! But practice definitely makes perfect with faceups. ><
@Lady Luna: The ones under $50 aren't resin, they're made of ABS instead, but they're still super cute! Really good if you want to try out the hobby without getting your wallet to hate you. >< But yeah, I'm glad they're becoming a bit more accepted now since they're a lot of fun. My coworkers always are entertained when I get doll stuff mailed to my work address.
@Lady Luna: They're SO expensive. I started with a small Hujoo that was around $30 and then a small vinyl Dollfie from Volks that was about $25. They gave me the practice for faceups and stuff that I needed without the huge cost. Luckily, there are more and more companies that are coming out nowadays with lower priced dolls. ^^
@Lady Luna: I think she originally was about $240 USD, but I've upgraded her body since to a different one from another company, so now I think she's worth around $350-400 or so. I've had dolls from about $150 all the way up to $900. >< It all really depends on the size, resin color, company, etc.

@Neko: That's good! Looking at tutorials or other faceups is a really good way to get the hang of your own style. That's how I first started, too. ^^ And YES to sparkle. ALL THE SPARKLE.
