BJD... I Must be CRAZY

A month (and some change) later, I am finally posting an update. I was working on my other project when I hit a snag. Sanding by hand is a royal pain in the tail and a little more effort than I am willing to put in. Soooooo, hopefully after Santa stops by in a couple of days all will be a go again. I have asked for a Dremel rotary tool and a gravity feed Airbrush!!! YAY!! Come on Santa, mama needs to get back to work.

HOWEVER.....all was not lost this past month. I found another passion in the art doll category and was working diligently to hone this new skill. BJD (Ball-Jointed Dolls) are fun to make. Although time consuming they will, without a doubt, prove to be very rewarding. Sculpting, Sanding, Wigging, Blushing/Painting, Dressing....and completely posable

Meet Soraya!!
She is 10 inches tall when standing and is my very first BJD!!


19 tiny sculpted clay pieces. I am still working on Soraya's joint movement. Tediously sanding, scraping, measuring and fitting to make it all come together. I did manage a few poses with what I have so far. I cant wait to see the end result.
