My name is Crystal. I'm new to the world of Bjds but not to the world of dolls. I love miniatures and wish I had the time and space to do more with them.
So a few years ago about 6 or so I got into dollhouses and miniatures which actually started with my wanting to make polymer clay babies and people. However, I could not get the hang of it. Being from an area where no classes for that type of medium were offered I was on my own. I did do a few projects here and there in clay. Then I eventually got married had babies all that stuff. My work for stowed away and my tools for sold.
I then got into american girl dolls thanks to my sister in law. Their little trinkets and accessories intrigue me. Then while looking up their things I stumbled across the bjd world. Wow the dolls I wanted to sculpt already done and I can still personalize them to my liking! I can switch their eyes and wigs and do their makeup! This is very exciting to me. Luckily I stumbled across a Facebook group which eventually led me here.
So tomorrow my first doll should arrive. It's a 27cm Obitsu. I'm nervous, excited and delighted all in one. I've been drawing eyes all night well the outline.. Yea I can't get them to match.
Anyway, my ultimate dream is a pair of 60cm obitsu dolls! But that may change if I'm ever able to see other dolls. I've never seen any bjd unless my niece's monster high dolls count.
So here I am. Educate me. I'm all eyes and ears I love to learn and if you ever need to know anything about American Girl dolls let me know. If I haven't got the answer I can surely get it.
