Baede and Vraeden

Jan 28, 2006

    1. Hello there,
      I just thought I might share my two Self made dolls, Baede and Vraden, with you all. First off, I gotta say that neither of them are really very well made, and they are both pretty small compared to most BJDs, but I really like them a lot :) . I made both of them out of just regular sculpey (which I wouldn't recommend most people using) because I already had a lot of it (as in "Artist/Teacher's Bulk Pack).

      First theres Baede:

      Baede was the first doll I made and he has a few problems. He was made during a long period of time in which I did not have access to the internet and so I had basically no resources to work from. Because of this, his joints are not made the way I would have prefered. Also, (here comes the reason why regular sculpey is not recommended) there are a few cracks in his arm. Nothing terribly bad, but obviously not a good thing. It took me about three weeks to make him and, despite his problems, I love him to bits :chibi .

      Vraeden:

      Vraeden was (somewhat obviously) the second doll I made. He is also made quite a lot better, in my own opinion at least, since I was able to avoid a lot of the problems I had whilst making Baede. He is quite a bit taller than the other and he can stand a lot better as well. I think my favorite thing about him are his eyes. They came out a lot better than I expected them to and I think they really do suit him. Also, just to give a hint of his size, though he is a good bit taller than one of them, his wig was taken from a "What's Her Face" doll (this is also a disclaimer, I did not make the wig).

      I'll prolly be making another doll pretty soon since I'm getting kinda antsy. =P

    2. Me wuvs them!! They are so unique!! Vraeden reminds me of manson!! But a cute, sweeter version. lol. 3 weeks to make Baede!! You should see the 3 month old torso and lump of unnamed BJD sitting on my desk *blush*
      I think they are both awesome dolls. So wide eyed and skinny! Thats all it takes for my to get all swoony. Keep it up!! I cant wait to see your next doll! *me wants to see a girl *hint*hint *jen
       
    3. They are obviously well-loved, :chibi

      Very stylized!

      You should try out a stronger clay and more ball-ish joints, and do some more, cause you got the right idea. ^_^
       
    4. oh, they are just SO cute! I couldn't possibly pick a favourite.. how very very clever you are.. particularly working with sculpey (ech)

      iwould be thrilled to see more of them, and more and more and more!

      Be well

    5. Thanks for the compliments :).
      I think I'll most likely start a larger doll as soon as I can get some stronger material.
       
    6. So unique! I like Vraeden's eyes. In your next doll, I hope you develop your personal style even more; it's so cool!
       
    7. Very nice, especially for regular sculpey. They look like really sweet guys,black eyeliner or no.

      Eppie
