What is the Look Back Challenge?

The Look Back Challenge is a photography challenge for all kinds of toy collectors in which they are prompted to post only about toys and collectibles they already own, and refrain from posting about any new purchases for the entire month. This is to combat the FOMO and impulse buying tendencies that often take over collecting spaces. Collectors are often pressured to only post about the newest, hot item they've acquired. This is a challenge aimed to push back against consumerist acquisition culture. It also exists to give collectors a chance to show off items they adore, but maybe don't post about very much as they feel they need a "reason" too. We shouldn't need a reason! Let's show off the things we love!

Rules

You can only post items you had prior to the start of the challenge.

Abstaining from buying things entirely during this month is optional, but encouraged.

If you do buy something, please refrain from posting about it until the month is over.

Custom toys and home made items are allowed.

Newly made customs are allowed, if they were made from things you already had prior to the challenge starting.

You do not have to follow the prompt list to take part in the challenge, but it's there if you'd like some ideas.

If you are following the prompt list, you may interpret a prompt however you see fit. There is no right answer.

This is not a contest, and I am not judging submissions.

I may add to this rules list as questions and issues come up.

Please direct any questions to this blog, and do not message my other blogs.

If you would like me to share your photos to the challenge page, just tag or @ "look-back-month-challenge". I hope everyone has fun!

Hey dollblr, I’ve got an empty shoebox and I want to make a restaurant scene. I’ve got enough Mini Brands to do either a Pizza Hut themed joint, or a Jack in the Box one.

Thanks for the help in advance!

I made these shoes for my doll :)

They are not perfect, more like the first prototype... I used the instructions from the Hanon pattern book, meaning this was originally designed for Blythe. At this scale, for a 60cm doll, more details are needed for the shoes to look good. But it's okay, now he finally has one pair of leather shoes which is what I had in mind from the start.

Unfortunately glue got on the top of the shoes and stained the fabric pretty badly. But I guess it makes the shoes look worn? I only had two phase epoxy at home and it's a bit tricky to apply. But got something more suitable for crafts since.

I'm once again looking for more doll friends!

- I sew my own doll clothes pretty often.

- I sometimes like to customize and/or restore my dolls.

- I post mostly American Girls, but I also have Disney ILY's, Disney Animators, a My Life As, and I'm looking to get a Healthy Roots Doll next, I've also got several, not as known, mom and pop 18-inch doll brands saved, so they could appear on here in the future.

- I reblog from other pages I follow.

- I like to make doll OCs, sometimes from other fandoms

- If you're an 18-inch doll blog, like this post (or follow me), and I will follow you back (from my main account sailor-rose-princess).

It's not anything super fancy, but have some spooky-themed fabric dolls to share for the season. 👻🧟‍♀️

I made all three of these girls a few months ago, but since it's spooky season I decided to share! They don't have names or anything, but the two ghosts are sisters. :)

The larger two have a wire skeleton and are posable, but the smaller one isn't quite big enough for one. If I remember correctly, the zombie is wearing a Barbie dress while the taller ghost wears something I got from a dollar store. I made the smaller ghost's sheet myself.

Got some miniature books/magazines for the dollhouse

They can open and have pages. It's all blank inside but they're really well made and will look cute on a coffee table or bookshelf.
