survivors of the polyvore apocalypse?
-
Hi all, I was Ni-Ke of 4 yrs and beyond on polyvore and barely survived the Polyvore apocalypse. Thank God a friend reached out and shared the link to this site. I'm an artist and losing the ability to create has made me go crazy!
to all who have survived! -
Hi, I’m barely Surviving and was under prepared, my name is the same as on polyvore. So I’m taking refuge here, but have not made a set yet. I’m not use to the functionalities on this site, and I don’t really want to put something out. I was apart of the doll community, and that’s pretty much my passion. I tried adding items from Pinterest but remain unsuccessful probably for the obvious reasons. Unfortunately Ive been in a bad mood and depressed over the debacle, I’ve tried another site but I hate it, it’s just not me, but on a lighter note I’m going to remain positive about this site in hopes there will be more art community welcome here.

@poshtrish I'm glad you're here! I used Polyvore for both art and fashion sets, though most of my time there I made art sets. I have seen a lot of artists on here, and I have seen quite a few people make some doll sets if that's any motivation/encouragement to you.
Truly, we all understand how you feel. This is frustrating and we all got very used to a website that's gone now, and whenever you change websites - there's going to be a period of difficulty in getting used to the new one. But the staff here have been very, very helpful and are working very hard to work things out for us
I'm sorry that you haven't been able to make a set yet - you could try looking in the Hunters and Gatherer's thread, there are tons of people posting in there, giving links to items/collections they've compiled of all types of items.
-
@poshtrish Raising my hand in the doll makers corner.
Oh, right, I should probably prove this claim
-
I miss Polyvore, too! But changes are great, now we have to learn to use this new website.
-
@kstylist This, though.
I'm finding that I'm relearning how to make dolls (and fashion sets). ...and that they're getting better as a result. I mean, I'm nowhere near epic level (there are epic doll makers on here, yes), but I'm certainly evolving -
@myrrael That's great! I hope you become a pro making dolls and fashion sets, i'm practicing too, Good Luck!
-
@kstylist Thank you. You, too!
-
@wintermoon sorry to but in and all that, but i was wondering if you have found a way to place colour over/on your sets? like the colour blocks that you could shape on poly for moodboards, cut icons, exc
-
@myunnamedthings Unfortunately i didnt't. (actually i have searched for that on the web these days) I used the color blocks etc often so i have been trying to find something like geometric shapes and that. So far i have saved a couple of geometric shapes but it is not the same
i hope they can come up with that feature ... -
@wintermoon yeah, same! i used them all the time & can't make any new sets without them...how are the geometric shapes working out?
-
@wintermoon @myunnamedthings my best guess for that would be using the "psd screens" that some people used on polyvore - a lot of them were like old photo effects or grunge overlays but there were some plain color ones. they're transparent images so hopefully they upload the same ?
just my best guess, i didnt use those items very much so

@myunnamedthings Aside this collection

by @lamipazLamipaz , I haven't seen any. -
Finally ! I've found a website similar to the iconic queen Polyvore, that I also don't hate. R.I.P. Polyvore and R.I.P. @badgal-kimmi,, forever in our hearts ♡

@dy-nasty Welcome!
-
@wintermoon I have a collection of geometric colored shapes, but unfortunately, I have not been able to find a way to make them transparent. Her ei the link to my collection:

@myunnamedthings I also have a collection of geometric shaped colors but have not found a way to make them transparent:

Please feel free to use them in your sets. -
@affton i understand, because the transparent option was a software feature inside Polyvore platfrom itself... I hope they can add that option here in the future. Thank you
-
@wintermoon Good to know. Thanks.
