Hello everyone out there!

Hi there!
My name is Cathrin I live in Sweden and am 21 years old, I study fashion and textile design and am a generally crafty girl.
I have for a long time loved the looks of bjds, but as every newbie says "they are a bit of expensive", but being a crafty girl I have my mind set on making my own bjd in stead.
I have just made a body in paper clay, a body with proportions of a woman size 38 (European size) and the I am working with measurements that are is 1:4 of "life size" so I will end up with a doll that is approximately 41cm tall (16.1 inch) I am striving for making a body that is proportionate with a real womans body, preferably a curvy one ^^ and I hope that from this community get some inspiration and feedback for my project.
