Open Dolce Luce Dolls /UK Based/ Faceups, Mods and More!

Breathing life into BJDs

Please see my Etsy, Instagram and Facebook for more images

Hello and welcome to my one-stop BJD services shop!

Thanks so much for your interest in my art. I am a UK based doll collector of 10+ years and I love the customisability of BJDs. They are an excellent way to bring your favourite characters to life!

This is why I have decided to offer services to help people realise their characters in resin form.

Fantasy dolls are my favourite and I love modding, and blushing parts to make them more beautiful and ethereal.

I know how important it is for BJDs to look just right, so I strive hard to make all my art the best it can be!

Price list:

Faceups
£50-70
The faceups I create are natural and semi-realistic with lots of fine details.Large additions such as facial tattooing may be extra depending on complexity. Faceup removal is £5.


Body/Parts Blushing
£25-70
I can do fantasy style (e.g. scales etc) or a basic body blush job. I can also do scars, stretch-marks and minor injury details. Scars are painted on and sealed with gloss, so there is no permanent damage to your doll!
This also includes fantasy blushing for large and small doll parts. Prices vary by size and complexity Examples include wings, entire legs or weapons etc. I am also happy to do fur detailing.

Elf Ear Mod
£25
I use very fine, white or grey epoxy putty to modify your dolls ears to any style of elf ear. This is a subtle but lovely mod. I will also sand, paint and blush the ears to match!


Foot Blushing and Manicure
£15
Natural style blushing of feet including a simple, slightly shiny manicure. My blushing includes plenty of tiny details such as skin textures, veins and moles. I will also blush the underside of the feet if requested. However please understand that this may rub off if you put footwear on your doll!


Hand Blushing and Polish
£15
Custom blushing of BJD hands. This includes details such as knuckles, veins and fancy nail polish.


Mold Line Removal
£10
Removal of mold lines from your doll! I will only provide this service for pale skinned dolls. Yellowed dolls can also be sanded but there may be a slight skin tone difference. I can however, blush to match!

Ear piercing

Hand drilled ear piercings for your dolls! Does not include gauges ears/tunnels.

Dye
£50
Change the colour of your doll with dye! Please be aware this is a chemical process and not all resin takes dye 100% evenly. Best done with white or pale dolls. Complex multi-coloured jobs will cost more.

Production time

Depending on the size and complexity of your commission I take anywhere from 2-4 weeks to complete an item. Obviously this may increase due to weather/alterations as requested, but I will always keep you in the loop.

Shipping

Shipping to the UK varies from £3.50-£5.00 for small items and up to £10 for more bulky items.

For international customers, basic shipping is between £8-20 depending on the size of the item. Please be aware international orders will probably be hit with customs charges. To avoid this, please mark down the value of the doll, or I will have to include custom charges in the total order. You can use a private insurance company to insure your doll in case the worst happens!

I always include tracking with my orders!

Making changes

I always update frequently with WIP images. If there is something you would like altered, please let me know ASAP and I will do my best to accomodate you! If at the end of your faceup you are unhappy due to a mistake I have made, I will redo it once. If you change your mind at the end of the faceup, please be aware I'd have to charge you to redo the work.

Packaging


IMPORTANT!

Let me know of any pre-existing damage your doll has before sending to me.

Please ensure that you pack your doll safely and securely! I will package your items in bubble wrap, bubble packets and boxes depending on size.

I am willing to lower the cost of shipping for unstrung dolls as well!

I’m not responsible for any damage in transit to me due to poor packaging.
