Hi! I collected dolls as a young girl (Ginny, Amanda Jane, and some Madame Alexander character dolls), and I've recently returned to dolls after becoming fascinated with a friend's bjds. I recently got a pre-owned iMda Modigli and am just getting into knitting and sewing for her. She is so sweet. My current idea is to stage different narrative photography projects with her as the central character, but we'll see. I look forward to learning from the community!
Welcome to the hobby. Congrats on your first BJD and I am hoping to see photos of your little one. I always recommend people new to hobby check out discussion threads as well as photo gallery. Esp when you know who you are looking for. As you can get advice from just people talking about the particular doll or company. Be careful how you put in certain phrases like looking to buy or want to buy. That is not allowed in discussion. It's better that you say, doing some research on.... or I would love to know more and see photos of.... Posts get your chance into marketplace faster, but don't be in a hurry, save up and be wary of to good to be true deals on any doll esp if it says the seller on ebay is in China. Recasts are not only bad for the hobby and artists that work hard to create their dolls, but it will get you removed from DOA if you post them. Look at company websites and join as a member, it should be free, and you can earn points with each purchase. Good luck I have been in hobby myself for 18 years and it's been quite the time.
Hello and welcome to DoA! And congratulations on getting your first doll. It's always a fun time getting a new doll their outfits and seeing how they look in them. Enjoy your time on here!
