So, this was a pretty fast turn around. I first discovered BJDs a couple weeks ago, became enamoured with them, ordered my first doll on Tuesday and it arrived today. I was originally looking at the Resinsoul Ya with dark grey hair, but then I saw that Denver Doll Emporium had Mei in stock and the style of wig I was looking for but in purple. And I really feel like I made the right choice. I didn't even have to wait a week and were very fast to respond to email questions. I love the elf ears and the purple hair!

Here she is! I tried my hand at sewing a shirt for the very first time and don't think I did half bad! Definitely a lot to learn and improve on but not too terrible either! I had gone to Joann Fabrics this morning to search the remnant bins to practice with, so I'm very surprised that I ended up getting purple like her wig. I just pinned a bit of renmant sweatshirt material as a makeshift skirt for the time being. I also need to fix her lazy eye, I may have to buy some putty or something. So far I'm really enjoying her, about 2 hours in haha

 

Name: Mochi (just nickname, so far)
Sculpt: Bory
Maker: Luts
Arrival Date: Oct 11 2018

How was he or she packed? He was packed really nicely, though the bubble wrap came off very easily.
What did his or her box look like? Fairly good which was surprising because it was stated that box had damages which I barely noticed any damage.
What did he or she come with? 2 cushion, maintenance guide (a little bent), certificate of ownership, 2 bjd photo card, light pinkish eyes, 2 extra wigs I bought.

 

I think it's time for a look back at the babies I kept and the first pics I took of them. If I included ones I sold... eh, I don't consider them mine anymore. Busy first year in the hobby with a lot of floating heads to get me going (and I've been too shy to show box openings).
