Hi! I’m Crystalaeluro. I recently bought two dolls for Ringdoll, Kim and Cheshire Cat, and am waiting for them to come home to me. I was into bjds back when I was in college (in the ‘00s) and still have a few in storage somewhere. The two Ringdolls are going to be characters from my favorite books, Shen Qingqiu and Luo Binghe. I have been heavy into the danmei fandom for several years and recently realized I NEEDED dolls of them. And since Ringdoll hasn’t made official dolls for them I’m just going to have to do it myself. I’m really excited to be getting back into the world of bjds. I hadn’t realized how much I missed it. My first project is to make Shen Qingqiu’s outfit and accessories since Kim was in-stock and should be here in a few weeks!
Hi and welcome! The BJD hobby really is one of those hobbies that you can leave for a bit and then come back and it will still be there. I hope you'll like it here. For sewing inspiration and posting your projects while working on them, check out the workshop section!
I love doing this, I agree that the BJD hobby is a good one to come and go from as you please. I hope you share photos once your initial project is completed!
Welcome back! Such exciting project concepts - I clicked into this and was quite surprised, as I was just reading something about these characters. I'm not part of the fandom (don't know what they're from, even) but I recognize the names. Very neat! Definitely post pictures when you've got something to share!
They are from the books Scum Villain Self-Saving System! Which I love and my brain decided to hyper-fixate on during the pandemic and hasn’t let go of since. And I will definitely post pictures as I make all their clothes and accessories and such. I’m even going to try to make them wigs. We’ll see how that goes.
