Boxed Up

I thought I'd share my new storage/display plan for my minifees. Usually they sit on my desk, I picked up a great teddy bear chair off ebay for super cheap and thats where my girls spend the majority of their time. The chair itself is currently occupied by my old Dollzone/minifee hybrid. She's basically a very fancy head stand. I put a MNF neckpiece onto the DZ body so I could house whichever of my floating heads is least in use.

Anyway, we had an overcrowding situation. My desk is getting swamped in dolls, which is both good and bad! I toyed with the idea of creating room boxes for them, I've seen some very spiffy looking living areas for dolls on DoA, but ultimately that just takes up way too much space. In the end I came up with an idea to do art boxes instead. Retablos inspired shrines to hang on my wall where I could perch one doll per box. The first one of finished and here's the end result. Excuse the crappy lighting, it's a pain to get lights down there and then she's half way up a wall anyway!

Her box hangs just above my computer so she's in sight all the time, and if I want her I can just reach up and grab her. I'm loving the arty, quirky look of it, and that it's one less doll cluttering up my desk. I never have the curtains down here open so she's never exposed to sunlight so it's all working out well.

I've left room on the wall next to her for the next box. I'm currently working on a candy-coloured blue box for my Luka. I'm still getting together her outfit and what not so it'll be a while before the box or the doll are ready. But, seeing as her wig and corset arrived here's a sneak peak of her in the box. She's going to be a circus carny; a sword swallowing magician type. Don't ask. Very under construction.
