How to make a backpack for BJD or other dolls

Easy fun project. Suitable for beginners.

No sewing machine is required. Hand stitches would look more realistic.

Video demonstration is available here

Resinsoul Lu with custom ears and face up. Short motion picture. Резинсоул кукла БЖД Лу

My latest arrival from Resinsoul Lu - MSD size ball jointed doll. She was a special order, i.e. human ears instead of huge ears as in its original sculpt. I have paid only $10 extra for swapping the ears. Also Resinsoul was able to fulfill my custom face up for extra $25.

Lu's head is smaller than other MSD size heads. She is really unique sculpt and I am very happy the way she turned out. If you are interested to see her box opening and quick comparison with the other MSD resinsoul please watch this video:

I have ordered Lu in single jointed body. On her arrival I have hot glue sueded her, re-strung and "wired". She poses now better than my other double jointed bodies.

Here is a very short motion picture featuring my Lu:

Here she is in handmade wig:

New wig for Resinsoul Rong

Lately I am enjoying making my own wigs for my BJDs dolls. At least I can style them to my liking.

My latest suri alpaca wig for Resinsoul Rong.

Here she represents Goddess Tara - Goddess of Slav-Aryan race, she protects nature, forests and fields. She is the youngest daughter of Perun and sister of Tarkh God (Dazhdbog).

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 :) :(
