( 16 June 2022) A grail boy! Irvin is
another one of the dolls I really wanted when I first got into BJDs,
around when he originally came out. He doesn’t come around often and
I’ve missed/lost him when he came out, so I was so excited to snag this
one! He has a broken finger I need to repair but I’m not a perfectionist
about that. I kind of want to add to his faceup though, and take his
eyelashes out since the way they’re installed they’re actually super
long lashes put really far into his head so they point straight down.
Also he really needs a better wig. He’s actually a character of mine
though, this is Bat!

So, in May I attended PNW BJD Expo and did a faceup presentation/demo. For that I took exhaustive step by step photos of the faceup on my Megu and made a whole Powerpoint presentation on it. You can read it if you want! But be warned that the notes are speaker notes and not proofread at all, haha.

Oops I almost missed this girl! So, I had the old F60 body with Delf limbs (Soony’s leftovers hybrid) and wanted a head to pair up with my Soony. I thought over a lot of options and actually picked up an old Elfdoll Soah head originally, but I found that I didn’t like how she looked with big ol’ 9-inch-head, 20mm-eye-wearing Soony. In my heart I knew the sculpt I had in mind was a Volks 4 Sisters. I ended up picking up a whole Megu from Dollyteria because she cost pretty close to what I’ve seen the heads go for on DoA. She’s a lovely mold I always liked, but she’s also a particularly good scale/style match for Soony. I’m going for a sweet frail goth/scary angel handmaiden kinda vibe with the two of them but I’m still trying to pin them both down.

I haven’t done too much with her since she arrived, besides sueding and styling… she has a Volks faceup, so she hasn’t been at the top of the queue, although I don’t like the faceup.

Hello from August 30th Glace! This is the first post I’m throwing in there since I filled up my queue. I really don’t know how to reply to reblogs and stuff but I’m super touched by everyone’s nice comments and support! Thank you so much!

I bought a BABY from JAPAN, aka: Mandarake had an old Volks doll of the sculpt family I love, described as junk, for a very reasonable price. MSD Schulze on a girl body! Is that not just a Maria?? I don’t know! Old baby is from 2005.

I decided to mod them to look a bit more like their SD counterparts, so I used milliput to shrint the eyes and sanded some sharper angles into the face. I put them down for a long time because I wasn’t feeling the blank face, but once I started on the sescond layer of the faceup I warmed up to it. I’m still trying to land on a good body for them… they’re too mature for the MSD body but not mature enough for a slimmer body (and the head is huge). I did swap out the hands for Akagidoll hands.
