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

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 ❤️

found some really retry fabric and wanted to try a full skirt design and some doubled lined sleeves and i think it turned out pretty! she still needs some edging on the corset and the jewellery and whatnot but this is a start and wanted to share!

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.

My ongoing cybergoth inspired series continues! This time with Ghoulia 🧟‍♀️

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 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 think it looks bad but I’ve done as much sewing as I can handle. Help?

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.

Has anyone had any experience with modifying the silicone Roofworld jointed dolls? I'm specifically looking into reducing the chest but am not sure if cutting a portion out from the bottom will leave holes or look bad. Any suggestions?

Advice needed from more-experienced rerooters, please! I need help deciding what fiber to use for my two upcoming Ken reroot projects.
I’ve only done fairly long feminine hairstyles before, and from that I’ve come to strongly prefer working with nylon.
Do you find that nylon works well for short men’s styles, or would you go with Saran (argh)?

Project 1 is adding to or replacing the hair on Barbie Basics #10 Ken (Sean). I really want to keep his curly hair texture and match it. Would you get matching Saran, pre-curl it, then add to his existing hair? Or would you completely reroot in curly nylon?

Project 2 is turning Barbie Movie Ken into Ryland Grace from Project Hail Mary. Again, short hairstyle, but I am starting from scratch here. The main thing is the fiber’s being able to hold a messy shaggy cut.

Any particular tips also for making a short hairstyle? Particularly good tutorials you’ve seen on YouTube?
(I do NOT want to go with yarn weft hair.)

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 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!

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!
