I would be very curious to know how many of us on the list are now
into BJDs. How many of us got into them because of the possibilities
for costuming them? I know when I talked my husband into letting me
get my first girl (a Limhwa half-elf) I swore it would be my only
doll and I wanted her so that I could make her all the costumes I
wanted to do but couldn't make for myself for various reasons. One
year later and I have four dolls, two floating heads (it was five
until this past weekend - I just sold my Bobobie Sprite), and my
husband Michael has his first doll on layaway. My friend Heather
doesn't call it "dollycrack" for nothing. ;-)
However, back to costuming, they really are ideal for it, with the
single drawback, of the bodies being non-malleable so that when
making underpinnings such as stays, it can be difficult to create the
correct the look even when using them. Once I'm done my current
sewing commitments, I get to go back to work on my 18th century stuff
for my girls.
Cheers,
Danielle

Do you know that they can be awfully addictive?
A friend of mine who also has ball jointed dolls send me a website
from that friend of yours.
I told her that I knew you from this list.
I am still working on a 19th century dress and tomorrow I will order
her wig with ringlets.

models. She poses beautifully.

Oh i forgot Losboll it is a flooting head not sure if it is he or she.
I experiment on it to get better on face painting.
