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...
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

-Hot glue gun
-Fabric glue (optional), can still use hot glue gun
-Ribbons
-Needle and thread, but with sewing machine the process will be less painful :D

-scrap A4 paper
-sellotape
-4 small plastic lids of the same height (optional)
-acrylic paint (for the sofa legs if using lids)
-wadding or foam or cotton wool

Some pics of the finished product and my ResinSoul MSD ladies as models together with BJD kitten
Face up-ed my Chicaloca (Hujoo ABS MSD) girl today, applied very basic make up eyes wise, as eyes are already exaggerated, but made accent on the lips (hello lip liner, hello 80-s). Blushed her hands and nails (her hands are not very pretty). I am pleased that this horrific parabox wig that no my other BJD can wear (as they look absolutely ridiculous) fits perfectly and suit Chicaloca.
Chicaloca has now been sold. I am still in love with her ways but she does not fit into my collection.
I have recycled a big stash of cardboard and crafted MSD size furniture and sculpted accessories for the table. The project has not been totally completed yet, as I got very busy with my new ragdoll kitten.
Obitsu MSD and DollLove male MSD doll
Souldoll Lester is a tall MSD doll (52 cm tall), but I think this furniture is still ok for him.
I think my next step is to recycle wooden play blocks I have purchased from charity shop.
These adorable BJD pets (4.5 cm tall) are simply amazing. Kitten pose-ability is outstanding and magnetic face plates are so easy to change. Iplehouse puppy is slightly more limited in movements, but still offers great pose opportunity for photography. Iplehouse puppy has got a magnetic tale, his "face up" is generic by the company. Both of these BJD pets are full of character and are suitable for 2 scales as pets: YoSD and MSD.
With MSD girls:
With Obitsu 1/6 girl:
The puppy can stand like this by using his tail, whereas the kitten can do it tail free. Kitten has got excellent pose-ability "skills"!
