Hello from the desert!

Hi, I'm Ollie! I got really into BJDs about 15 years ago, but was around 12 years old, so couldn't really buy into the hobby. Starting my collection has been my gift to myself this year to reward myself for becoming independent and keep myself out of trouble and spending money on less constructive (or even destructive) things. I did definitely fall into the trap of buying WAY too many dolls right away though.

I mostly collect 1/4 MSD size and smaller.

I was most excited to paint faceups, and I've done 4 so far and really enjoy them! I also have made 4 wigs, the first one was....interesting. ¯\_༼ ಥ ‿ ಥ ༽_/¯ When her clothes come in I'll make a profile and you'll see what I mean lol. But I really like wig making too! And I'm learning slowly, slowly, slowly learning to sew little clothes for them. Currently I'm stuck on how the heck to attach sleeves!

Most of the dolls I am waiting to arrive are "normal skin" or "pink normal." I'm hoping to get some more tan and fantasy skin colors going forward. I mostly like boy dolls, but I like them to be feminine and pretty That being said, I'm waiting on a couple masculine boys to arrive and am excited to see how I like them!

Anyways, that's me! Thanks for reading and I hope to get to know the community a bit better in the coming year!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I am planning to make doll profiles for my on-topic dolls when they're not so naked, haha! I would love to see your pretty boys. Also, I peeked at your profile and I saw you like Dragon Age! Those are my favorite video games!!

 

A Cole doll would be so cool! I can't wait for Dreadwolf to come out either. Eventually I think I want to shell my Warden, Hawke, and Inquisitor, too.

 

Omg I love that!! My avatar is a picrew of my Inquisitor, hehe!

 

Adult money certainly encourages me to keep going to work lol!

 

Hello fellow desert dweller! Thanks so much for those sewing resources, I can't wait to check them out. I am so so weak for elf sculpts, something about those pointy ears (´∀｀)♡

 

Oooh Inquisitor Sanar has lovely hair! Bioware really did us dirty with the base hairstyles they included...not as stylish as mods lol.

Wow VERY pretty boys!! (°◡°♡) Great hair and such delicate clothes!!

 

Thank you very much! ヾ(＾∇＾) I've been making glue weft wigs so, there is definitely a learning curve. I am kind of intimidated by the soft cap/sewing method! It is really rewarding to see life come into the dolls with each craft made for them (wig, face, eyes, clothes, etc)
