Creating a doll... for my MOTHER-IN-LAW! :D

So my mother-in-law's husband got in contact with me asking if I could create a BJD for her! ... WOW!

She's always admired my dolls, especially my winking Arrietty {Doll-Love Janeshine} and there just HAPPENS to be one on the DoA marketplace atm. *mutters* I'm not giving away mine...

AHEM! So this will be my secret WIP thread of my progress making and creating a lovely BJD character for her. I already know what sort of doll she likes, it's just a case of collecting it all in secret (shhhh...) but I need SOME creative outlet. What better place than Dollieh Sanctuary :D

*jumps up and down* Yayayayayay! I get to create a doll... and not have to PAY!

Thats great! Did he say anything about how he thinks it should be or can you just live out your own ideas on the doll?

And do you have a budget?

I have about $240 to spend, so a smallish budget, but I can get her a good doll for that. Doll-Love dolls are lovely :)

She definitely wants a blonde doll, which is good as I have a spare Bluefairy wig that's blonde, and she wants doc marten boots! Apart from that it's up to me :D she likes funky clothing and fantasy faceups which is right up my street!

Anyone know where I can get some doc marten style boots for MSD??

For the shoes, you could try Mimiwoo. http://www.mimiwoo.com/index.php?cPath=21_41
They might have something that could work and it's free shipping.
