The debut of Tony!Doll; also, my auction over at livelongnmarry

[ria_oaks]

Well, I did it! I offered my doll-making "skills" over at livelongnmarry: http://community.livejournal.com/livelongnmarry/229926.html

So if anyone has a hankering for a plush doll and wants to support a great cause, please bid! :)

And on that note - meet Tony!Doll! I took pictures of everyone to post as examples (well, except for Gaara, who is currently sitting at my other house and is lacking clothing... and who frankly was too much of a pain in the ass for me to want to make again (besides, you can buy a much nicer official one online...), so I finally have pictures of Tony to post.













So whaddya think? I love him a slightly ridiculous amount.. and I'm not ashamed. ;) Took him to see Iron Man the second time, for chrissakes!

Bed now. Gotta be at work very early tomorrow, woe. :(

ROFL. Glad you like. ;) You can bid on one over on my auction if you want. *grin* Or else, I can post info on how to make him if you're interested - it's really pretty simple, and I say that knowing pretty much zip about sewing (took one high school class, about 5-6 years ago...).

How long with your auction last? I have no way to pay for it now, but I'll be getting my debit card very soon. :D

I'd love to see a how-to type thing posted. I'm sure many of us would love that.

I also have no real knowledge or experience in sewing, but I had it for two years in high school. So I may be able to give it a try. ^-^

Until July 15th. But you can donate whenever you want, really - it's all an honour system. :) Depending on where you donate there will be different ways of paying, and not sure that debit will work for any since they're online... unless you have an organization close to you where you're planning to donate in person? But anyway, I imagine they'll accept credit card and Paypal, among others... you can check out the diff charities they suggest on the community and see what they accept. :)

Anyway, long and short of that is - feel free to bid then pay a bit later. :) Long as you donate at some point soonish, then comment in the community to say that you've done so so they can add it to the total donations amount.

I may do so, then. :) I'll scan the pattern and the actual instructions that came with it (or just post the name of the pattern if someone wants to just buy it. ^^) then run down what I do for modifications and such.

And that's prob enough experience - they're quite simple, really. And you don't have to hand embroider the face if that's too much (frankly it's my least favourite part, and takes ages for me...) - you could always draw it on, or use buttons or something.

That's great, thanks for the information! I'll definitely be looking into that. C:

I can't wait for that post. Thanks so much.

You're welcome, and thanks! :)

Also, I checked and <href="http://www.marriageequality.org/meusa/">Marriage Equality USA accepts Paypal and cheque. The others seem to be credit card only. Just fyi. :)

Oh, and FYI - I just looked more carefully at the community, and in fact the bidding ends at 12:01am PST on the 15th - so really, the night of the 14th... just over 24 hours from now (currently 10:30 PST).

Thinking now that I'll do the post as I make the doll for the auction, so I can post in-progress pictures. So it'll be a little while, but sometime within the next month, prob.

That's great, thanks for letting me know! :D
