I am new to BJD's. I found them browsing on Instagram and was instantly enchanted. Who are these people and what is this strange sub culture ? As I looked and read more I came across some Hans Bellmer references and it all made sense why I was fascinated by them. A longtime fan of the work of Bellmer and artists like Henry Darger, the creepy beauty of BJD was the right fit for me. I have been working in vintage clothing professionally for about 15 years and am a collector of rare antique clothing. My goal is to begin to create costumes for my dolls from remnants of my antique garments. I love medieval art, norse mythology, occult studies and antiques. My dolls will hopefully fit seamlessly into my home which is filled with these interests and their characters will develop from there.
