Lazuli head on MSD Mirodoll new body. BJD Hybrid.


Just sharing with you my latest project. Well, basically, I have bought an MSD size head (Lazuli) from the Etsy seller (artist I presume). The head supposed to be in normal skin, though it was a bit yellow, so I had to order a body from Mirodoll in yellow. The reason I went with Mirodoll is in case the colour would not match, so I would not lose sleep over it. I do not know why but I've had decided to get a  "new" MSD Mirodoll body. To cut the story shot - the body is horrible, the articulation is worse than the old body, the elbow joints are just BALLS. The finish is rough. I had to re-string it straight away; also removed the hands and replaced them. The body got resin bubbles and discoloration. I must say that this is the worse of the quality I have ever came across. I will make a comparison of 2 Mirodoll MSD bodies at some point and you will see what I mean about the articulation. Anyhow, here is my new lady. I like the sculpt, really unusual and could be made into mature male as well. Excuse the face up, I can't stand blank faces, thus this face up was 5 min job. Doing face ups are not my cup of tea in this hobby...

Box opening Souldoll Rail Vito MSD BJD doll with the event clothing

Hi folks,

I was waiting for that man for 6 months (instead of 3) and he is here today - Rail  (Vito range) from Souldoll.

Here is his box opening video.



I have noticed that the wig and assembly manual were not included. So, I will contact the responsible party. Seams line have killed me. I did not expect that as there was no option like "sanding service"  offered, so I have assumed that seams would be removed by default...

Otherwise, happy days!

P.S. I have ordered this doll via the UK dealer angelesque. I would NOT use her service again and in future will order directly from the company or via other dealers like Alice's collection who offered excellent customer service to me before. My experience with angelesque was not very good in one of my previous orders as well. I do not want to go deep into details, but I would rate Angelesque customer service as "NIL".

How to make a miniature dessert from polymer clay for BJD MSD doll or for american girl scale doll


Fancy a sweet chocolate box for your MSD dolly?

 If you are keen to have a go and make this easy dessert from clay please check out my video how to:



This is an easy project for beginners in polymer clay. All you need is clay in 4 colours (brown, vanilla, green and red), square cutter (2cm) or just a square paper pattern, blade, texture sheet (if not, then do it manually with a dotting tool), liquid clay, rolling pin or pasta machine.

I have used fimo soft and premo sculpey. Liquid clay was Fimo gel. 
Gloss with any polyurethane varnish.





The model is Resinsoul MSD size doll Rong

How to make 3 tier cupcake stand for your doll. 
Nice as a photography prop.

For this project you will need

-cardboard 

-bamboo skewer 

-scissors 

-carving tool or thick needle 

-tacky glue (for the cardboard) and all purpose glue (or E-6000 instead of all purpose one for the beads). Do not use hot glue as it does not "soak" the cardboard well enough to keep the bond strong for long. 

-beads 

-wire 

-ribbon

Miniature cakes, donuts and cookies for MSD BJD dolls from polymer clay

I am spending my hols at home making miniatures for BJDs from polymer clay. It was long since I have touched my favourite modelling media and I've even missed dried fingers and achy hands after kneading the clay. I am happy, I am content when I am "claying":)

Cupcakes are about 2 cm tall depending on the design. I will eventually list these on etsy...

ResinSoul dragon BJD boy Sui in red

Man in red

I have purchased Sui a while ago, but I simply did not have time to do anything with him. Once I was even considering to sell him, but luckily I have decided against it and I took my time with my gorgeous fantasy dragon man. He is a stunning fella really, his sculpt is so different, but I think his features do not transfer well to the camera. I have blushed his whole body (very subtle brushing) and made an outfit, so at least he does not stand naked ( :P ::)) in front of my other dolls. I have paired him with ResinSoul Rong for now, but he is waiting for another (resin) soul mate that will hopefully arrive in a month time. All my adult dolls are paired (couples) and all are heterosexual :D That's just my preference in my little world where I am the GOD lol












Yeah, I do not think they get on very well :) :(
