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

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:

3D printed kitten and Iplehouse puppy BJD dolls

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 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"!

With MSD again:

awwww....

Obitsu MSD size arrival and brief comparison to double jointed resinsoul

One of my highly desired dolls arrived today - Obitsu MSD size 42 cm tall. She was ordered directly from Japan (Parabox) and even with the custom charges (£27) she was much cheaper than ordering from the dealers. 


I am an owner of five 1/6 scale obitsu dolls and was very curious whether the bigger version will offer the same posability.

I have ordered 2 heads for this doll and both of them were so easy to attach. I did not need to heat or boil the heads in order to fit them.  

The first impression is positive, especially the magnetic plate (same as for smaller obitsu) gives a doll instant stability, however does not allow a one leg stand pose, like in 1/6 scale. The MSD size obitsu is too heavy for this trick.

I thought a brief comparison between resin BJD and Obitsu would be interesting.

ResinSoul can't lift her head up whilst in this position (perhaps she strung too tightly):

Important thing for me that Obitsu can act as a support for other dolls when I need to pose them together! This is a helpful feature I will be definitely using during photo-shoots.

These two are very different dolls, but I am very pleased to have Obitsu of that size now. I need to find a suitable masculine male candidate for my new arrival... Any suggestions welcome.
