In October I took a break from my personal dollhouse world to make miniature flowers and get back to some of the miniature pottery I had started way back in May. I'm not sure how often I can play with my own miniature community for the rest of the year, so everybody is just hanging out now...
These girls are Heidi Ott dolls. They are very different in size, can't share clothing. The girl on the right is slender and sort of tall, the one on the left is short and sort of stocky built.
These dolls were from a set of Porcelain dolls that weren't finished, and had clothing glued on. I learned how to finish a doll with these, and their clothing is some of the first I made (got much better at it as time went on). The furniture these dolls are sitting in are by InsideOutMinis on Etsy.
The doll on the left was a young boy in the Porcelain doll set. I thought it looked too feminine to be a boy, so finished it to be a girl instead. The man on the right is a very short man by Heidi Ott. The shirt he's wearing was from a kit. The mens shirts I made after that (from a pattern I'd made) came out much better fitting and looked more realistic too.
These dolls are from Hanna, and the only ones that have names and personalities so far. The lion is dressed because he's more like the character Harvey from the book/movie, and will probably be a sidekick character to someone once the bar/lounge is a place for everyone to hang out in. This picture is showing my favorite clothing from all that I made so far. At first, I didn't intend for Francesca to wear anything so tailored, but the dress is "arty" in the fabric pattern, so it works out to be a part of her wardrobe. I really, really like Vincent's clothes, they fit so well and are classy looking to me too.
The doll in casual clothing is the tall man doll from Heidi Ott. He originally had a blond crew cut hair do, but I didn't like that so changed it. His hair is tied back in a pony tail right now because I haven't decided how to cut and style it yet, I may leave it the way it is.
The older man doll started as the Gary doll from the Dawn doll set. His original hair was just formed from the plastic the doll is made from. I also redid his face so he wasn't so cartoonish. He's a little too tall right now because the only shoes I had that would fit him have heels giving him another 1/4" (four inches) in height. I will eventually get him some flat shoes to make him closer to scale.

You've made so many!
Very impressing and industrious and everything looking so neat. Especially the men's shirts, I've made one for Faunius and found it took lots of time and effort with all the parts. Yours look fantastic. I also love the dresses of Francesca and the slender girl in the first photo. The colours and shapes are great. Where did you find the red boots? Very nice chunky shape, but could they be some kind of small Barbie shoes?
Vincent and Francesca look so pleased and content and Harvey too! They get so much personality with the clothes (goes with all the dolls).
The bottom picture brings to mind some kind of detective show, so watch out, they might bring some action to your world ;o).
Thank you Hanna! Francesca and Vincent are my favorite, and Francesca does have a few more outfits besides this dress :)
The Red boots are probably meant for Barbie. I bought a large lot of mixed miniature shoes on eBay once. Barbie has very small feet, smaller than dollhouse dolls even, and they are in a semi-point position so the shoes that are made for her come in all different sizes.
Those men at the bottom could be detectives? I wonder what they're up to?
