I wish we as a community had a place to sell recasts for people who want to either quit the hobby or go full legit

Hey.. that sounds exactly like what I’m trying to do :D

[the-bjd-community-confess]

sometimes people have the ugliest dolls ive ever seen, just the most hideous, visually repulsive, actively uncomfortable-to-look-at dolls i've ever seen, fucking resin sculptures of human misery that they dote on and call, like, mathilde or jungkook or cupcakes, and i think that's great and i'm happy for them.

as someone with vitiligo i think you're all reading way too much into this shit. literally just some people find it pretty so they get a doll like that. that's it. that's the whole reason for this and any other trend. it's like a beauty mark or freckles or anything else. some people hate what they have, others embrace it, but either way it's just oddly-patterned meat. we are all just oddly-patterned meat, you guys. please stop hyperfixating on the meaning behind our meaty patterns, it's weird.

Okay, I love making a nice thick book, but there's something about boxes that is just SO rewarding. Now, who here has heard of a peller pop-up box? I have to add a disclaimer that even of this post, I have made... three whole boxes, ever. But my personal take is that what's the point of diving into a craft if I'm not gunning for a target far above my skill level? The ambition gives me a thrill, I don't have to feel bad if I fail, and if I succeed, the rush is SUBLIME. And now I have a box with a mechanism (a ribbon) that pops the book out of an inner sleeve when I open it. I'm in love.

This was a learning process and a half! The only instructions I can find for this are some handwritten notes from a class in 1990, and the person who posted those notes also posted a number of critiques of the technique as described in the class. Also, the class notes (and addendums) come from an expert perspective, catering to experts. I'm an enthusiastic amateur who's still learning basic competence with leather. I was smart enough not to do a leather slipcase, but overconfident enough to cover my spine and edges in leather, haha. But even though I have a LOT of notes for what to tweak next time, I love it SO MUCH

I arbitrarily decided to work with my millimeter binding of 'and love unbolts the dark' by blackkat for this experiment, because it's small, it's one of my favorites, I had more of the leather I used for its edges, and I thought I had more of the cover fabric and it would be a good match to one of my yellow marbled papers. As you can probably tell from those photos, things didn't quite go that route!

First, I couldn't find the fabric. It might be in here somewhere, but I have FAR too much fabric, lmao. But I did find a lot of this dark green one, in the same line, and with some lovely color overlap, and a nice aesthetic match for the leather. And then I also realized that the marbled paper was a Lot in comparison to the rest of what I was pulling together. So I left it as a liner for the inner slipcase, to tie into the yellows of the original fabric. Then I dug up an embossed teal paper that matched the dominant palette of the new fabric, and went for broke. And I love this so much, truly, it was a headache trying to wrap my head around the instructions and I still have some minor complaints about the process, but I am so, so pleased right now. I would joke about how little time it will be before I do this again, but... I've already started

A heads up- I do not know how to initiate conversation. If you want to talk to me just do it. This is a targeted post 👀 now if you'll excuse me I have to go reorganize my doll shelf and brush out Ghoulia's hair

It’s not cringe as long as you enjoy yourself. Be yourself. Embrace your passion. Other people have no right to criticize you for your happiness.

At the end of the day it doesn’t matter if it’s Volks, Minifee, Soom, Resinsoul, an artist BJD, some obscure-ass company or a recast. It doesn’t matter if the faceup is flawless art or the shittiest n00b crayon trash ever. Clothes, eyes, wig, etc, doesn’t fucking matter. Professional photography or badly lit shit. Does your doll make you happy? Do you look at it and smile and enjoy it and have your mind filled with happy doll thoughts? Then you have the best doll ever. Yes, you.

(((2nd "unberied" confession of the day))) 🙏
