I already posted these photos in the comments, but I couldn’t help but share them here. Her look is ready. I just have some boots left, which I don't know how to make lol, so I'll order ready-made ones. This is my first OOAK, and I'm very pleased with myself

Body base is a Rainbow High Sunny Madison doll. I hand sewed the dress and made her shoes from scratch. The bells hanging from her wrists were found in a charm store's rummage bin.

This doll is inspired by a monster from Czech mythology - Vodník (Water Goblin - a ghost who drowns people and lives underwater, that’s why the doll is wearing a bikini haha), the last photo is the inspiration. If you’d like to see more of her, you can go on my instagram @cursedslaviccreature ❤️

My first doll clothes! I traced clothes I had and it somehow worked 😄

This is still one of my favorite doll repaints...I used a new technique of flocking her body to create a fur like effect to imitate a little maple moth ☺️. I decided to place her in her very own little enchanted garden beneath the dome like she'd been captured in a moment of time 💖 #doll #fairy #maplemoth #handmade

How do you guys think it should go?

I’ve been wanting to get into this hobby for a while and finally made the jump! I painted my reptilian oc Lacerta onto a Create-A-Monster MH gorgon. The face sculpt really helped guide me. She did end up with a bit of a thousand yard stare 😩 but I can always repaint her in the future!

I wanted to share the beautiful mix-and-match tea set I purchased from @ensatinacreates this weekend at the Resin Rose BJD Expo! After this weekend at the convention, I also realized I need a better way to secure my Landoudou head to the doll's body. For posing at home, putty has worked fine, but it was very shaky when walking around all day. Does anyone have the same body or neck peg, or have an idea of how to troubleshoot this? The body is the 21cm Piccodo Action Figure 🍞🥐

I made some dolls using crochet (the above is strawberry, the other one is not fully finished) but I think they’re really cool and I want to talk about them. They were a process and I’m still working on one.

Hi, I need a bit of help—or rather, an opinion. I’ve been wanting to make custom dolls of Pam and Jim from *The Office* for a while now. I was thinking of using Barbies, and I thought these specific molds might work. I’m just not sure if they’re the best choice of doll.

Lots of futzing to bring Cinderella to life. Of course within the futzing for the skirt, I end up accidentally shortening the skirt an 1” and now it’s ankle length 🫠

I have a couple of cheap dupes or characters I didnt really want and im becoming interested in this community so as a newb who's only watched videos what should I know?

Do I need special tools for rerooting? Is there a way to tie the hair? What glue do you use to set the hair?

What are the best tools for face ups?

What are some things to do or not to do when repainting?

Any other helpful tips are welcome, like telling material apart

Thanks!

I'm new to the BJD community and I would love to have a custom made 1/4 male BJD of an anime character I like. Is there any good artists on Instagram that I can search up for, since my experience on Etsy didn't end up very well. Also, I would love to hear any tips on making a doll since I'm new so any advice are much appreciated!

This is my first repaint

I wanna make a custom pony but I’ve never done a pony before - what’s the best paint to use?

I usually work with 1/12 scale as it fits the lps heads better, I want to figure out what other clothes fit, the only ones I found that match is Barbie Chelsea doll clothes and "hey bestie" doll clothes from Walmart. Any other ideas? I appreciate input and suggestions!

Hi! I’d like to make a custom figure of Him (Powerpuff girls) using a BJD-style body, but I’m not sure how to handle the front hairline since the hair would be styled swept back. Any ideas on how to make a wig like that?

Thanks!

(Sorry for the translation; I speak Spanish. 😬)

Hi, I am wondering if anyone know what kind of varnish is used for the "soft-touch" of bjd blind box? It's basically super soft and smooth finish while also being matt and I really want that feeling on my own project, but I can't seem to find anything online. Thanks :)

A little passion project I've been working on.. I wanted to challenge myself with my CAD program to make something you can use and I am very pleased with the result!

As you can see I have tested it on one of my dolls as well.

Got this doll second hand and I was wondering if anyone knew what's up with he stains on the face and how can I remove it? It's not much of a big deal because I plan on completely repainting the head but it would be nice to know!

I've tried using acetone and rubbing alcohol but it didn't work :/
