Hi there my name is Ely/Pralsie and I live in the UK I bought my first (and currently only) BJD, dollzone Stramonium, in 2013 when I was 15! I'm getting back into the hobby, trying out face ups again and buying another doll. So I've joined to seek advice, share my progress and use the marketplace in the future
Welcome to forums Ely. Or as I affectionately call it.... Enablers Ground Zero. Stratemonium is a really beautiful and versatile sculpt - I look forward to seeing some pictures of it!! I haven't customized dolls for a while for others but I still work with plastics, resins and paints regularly at work - so reach out if you have any queries about cleaning your resin-kid. I have an entire thread on solvents that I *try* to keep updated
If you have any recommendations of uk based dealers I'd love to hear them! All I know about is Angelesque, but she seems to have a lot less available than she did back in the day. Hello from Peterborough! I'll make sure to check them out! Once I figure out how to post photos, I'll share the faceup I did on here
Not really, but I can suggest going to the UK BJD convention or one of the mini's they hold in between conventions. I went to last year's convention in October, and am intending to go to next year's too. The next mini is this coming weekend in Birminghm, but there will probably be another somewhwere else in a few months time. Teddy
