Field of Dolls Studio; Because Everybody Needs Dolls: Listing Stuff is Hard

After Horsefest I took a couple of weeks off from doll making. Then, I got into some commissions that I let sneak in and I worked on those for a bit. Now I am back to making whatever I feel like making but I often run into the same struggle; listing stuff is hard. In all actuality, listing stuff is not that hard. But getting even decent photos seems to be. And people do like to see at least decent photos of things they potentially might spend their money on.

Yesterday, after I finished up the last few details on several dolls, I got out my ring light and set up to take photos of all the dolls I currently have available. Guess what? My photos still are not great. Some of it, I think, was the number of dolls I needed to get photos of. Some of it, surely, was that I (again) didn't bother to get out my actual camera, and I just used my phone camera. Some of it was I had tacked up 2 horses and I really didn't want to do it. But people do like to see the dolls on horses, so I figured I should make the effort. It has been a long time since I tacked up a horse properly. I didn't enjoy it. I wonder if that is another sign that I don't really want to show anymore. I wonder if I am just still tired. I wonder if I ever liked tacking up horses or if that is just a necessary evil to get through to get to show in performance. It's hard to say. Anyway, I tacked up some horses and I took some photos, and it was all a super struggle. This morning I listed 3 dolls on Model Horse Connections and then went and hung out with Elecktra. We went to 2 different Spirit Halloween stores (basically identical to each other) and to Michael's to check out their Halloween stuff. Again. I still think August is the slightest bit early for Halloween decor, but people like to get a head start on things. And I also happen to really love Halloween so whatever.

All of that was to say I have a lot of dolls available and I know very well people are unlikely to buy them if they don't know that I have them available. And I don't really want to do 16 (I think there are 16 dolls) posts on MHC right now. Because I don't feel like doing that many posts and I don't really want to bury any other doll ads. So I figured I'd blog about them. And it has been a bit since I posted, so here we go.

I have 16 dolls currently for sale. English, Western, and a lovely driving doll. US shipping is $10 for 1-3 dolls. If you are interested in any of the dolls, or want to see more bad photos of them, please email me at fieldofdolls@gmail.com. International shipping, please email me for a quote.
