hello all! my name is Docile and i'm finally posting here, after joining the site over a decade ago. i had an interest at the time in BJDs, but ended up focusing on other hobbies and didn't engage much with the BJD community in the meantime - hence this very late introduction. more recently, i have rediscovered my appreciation for dolls and connected with some friends who share that same interest. i have now attended my first meet-up, and just a few days ago, i placed an order for my first professional BJD (i do also have a small scale 3D-printed doll for use in model horse photography). as a teen, i was initially taken with anthro sculpts, but this time around, i am finding myself much more interested in human dolls, though i am not at all opposed to a bit of fantasy as well. as an artist and writer, i am drawn to the creativity that is involved in doll collecting. i'm really looking forward to cultivating my collection, connecting to the community, and possibly even improving my sewing skills!
You're in the same boat as me I'm also back after a long abscence. Now though, I finally the means and space to get back into BJDs.
