Hello everybody! This is my very belated introduction. In the year 2016 I got very much into the hobby of BJD, but as many other people with autism and/or adhd can attest to we like to pick up new hobbies often, but we have a hard time sticking with them. And that's what I did! I got super into the hobby. - I did a bunch of research. - I bought so much material and cute stuff. - I then ordered a doll that i had fallen in love with. - I did the waiting. And one day she finally arrived! - I took her out of the box, she was soo pretty - I put her back in the box. - The box ended up untouched in my closet for almost 8 years... And I thought that that would be it. I thought she'd lie in my closet indefinitely and collect dust, or I'd finally end up selling her to someone else. But then something rare happened. Out of nowhere about a month ago, I could feel the sensation, the urge of a hyper-fixation slowly creeping up on me, blindsiding me. All of a sudden I wanted to take my doll out of her box again, i wanted to make her look pretty, i wanted to make her face, sew her clothes, give her beautiful hair. All of the things! So I am now fully back in BJD-mode and besides completing my already existing doll I'm also looking into getting some more (don't judge me ). I will ride this hyperfixation for as long as I can, and i'm very happy to be back.
Thank you I've got a Iplehouse Ashanti. I was hoping to upload some pictures of her eventually, once she's presentable.
Welcome back! I can totally relate - I got into the hobby a while back, forgot about it for a bit, then one day I blinked and now I have a table full of dolls and paints
Thanks! It sounds like your living the dream tbh Thank you! I totally agree, now that she's out of the box again I have a hard time not staring at her in awe
This is me! I have been obsessed with learning about gouache lately... I've watched so many YT videos, bought supplies and tubes of gouache but have not even opened or used any of it as of yet. I also bought a lot of fabric to make clothes for my upcoming minifee Ingrid, but it is currently squirreled away in the closet until her arrival (I'm paying off my layaway this week ). I'm so scared I'm not going to be able to keep focused on dolly stuff once she finally arrives! I have two Iple house dolls, a rosette school fir, a doll leaves SD girl (and tiny), and 3 floating heads that I have not done anything with at all since like maybe 2015/16. They've just been living in their boxes/bags and I've only taken them out like once in the past year to make sure they were okay. I'm glad you've gotten your motivation back to work on your dolly! I hope it sticks around for a long while
