News



You people who know me, you do also know I tend to disappear from time to time. I have had it rough to say the least. Been working on my doll, will hopefully post some new pictures of him "soon". I have come quite a long way.

So where the fuck have I been? Lets see, I have moved away from home under very difficult circumstances, I have been and am currently studying Japanese (feel free to try me out on that), I have sewn my own Lolita outfit, I have made two particularly good friends (might even be my best friends ever), I have totally neglected my poor website... hm. Well, I am starting to get back on my feet even if I feel... sore.

Casted in: Will not be casted
Wig size: 7.5 - 8

Project name: Bisque (Bisquen)
Clay: Bisque doll from... 1920? Body is made of wood.

Gender: female
Joints: Single jointed arms, single jointed legs.
Wig size:  11
Eye size: 16 mm
Info: A German bisque doll from 1920. I am (and some of you will hate me for this) revamping her
so she looks more modern. I want to turn her into a baby vampire or something like it.
She was a gift from my mother-in-law.

If you have any question regarding my dolls or how to make one, feel free to ask.

--- Frequently asked questions  ---

Is it hard to make a doll?
Depends. If you know how to mold and used clay before it might not be that hard. But it is a challenge never the less. I recommend everyone who has the courage to try.

Is it less expensive than buying a doll?
Ahh... no. Sadly. It is most likely much more expensive to make a doll than to buy one, but you will always have a special bond with a doll you've made.


A few lines about me


I am a  something something  with a boyfriend and a plush jellyfish named Kurage. I'm a nice person and my goal in life is to be happy and make the world a better place.
I like to draw, sculpt and write stories, even if I'm not particularly good at the latter. I have tons of stories in my head and would love a companion to write books with me some day.
I have a list over everything I want to do before I die.

[X] Draw and sell a real painting for more than 100 dollars.
[ ]  Make a ball jointed doll and cast him
[ ]  Sell a handmade doll
[ ]  Write and distribute a book
[ ]  Learn 5 languages by heart. I know Swedish and English. I want to learn German, Japanese and Latin. I am currently studying Japanese.
[ ]  Make a computer game (or write the story for it.)
[ ] Get at least one painting/sculpture shown at a famous gallery.

I am a aspiring doll maker in the world of ball jointed dolls. I have made 3 dolls, beginning the 4th soon. I have completed none, but will very soon. I plan to cast my dolls and sell them as full sets on Etsy.

I also draw, preferably digitally.

I couldn't thank you enough for posting your doll project, I have made it my goal to make my own BJD pair for me and my girlfriend (who also loves them) and your progress has given me hope : ) Thanks so much for sharing your work on DA and Youtube!

You're=You are
Eg. You're stupid.

Your=/=You're
It's a possessive pronoun.
Eg. Your face is stupid.

Love is Love No matter who or what you find it in.
