Second generation mini dolls.. watching them again and seing how detailed they are I regret the fact that I removed those details in the third gen body... when sculpting them I felt like I wanted to make a cute doll but I feel like it lost something "mine" . . . . . .#bjd #balljointeddoll #cocoondolls #artdolls #cocoondollsminidolls #resinbjd #bjdsculpting #cutebjd #cocoondollspreorder #bjdpreorder #bjdsale #handmadebjd #bjdartist #bjdmaking #bjdhead #bjdeyes #bjdphotography #bjdeurope #poupée #бждкукла #бжд #球体関節人形 #創作人形 #bjdsale #abjd #resinbjd #bjdmaking #bjdartist #artbjd #cocoondolls #tinybjd #yosd #handmadebjd #collectibledoll #exclusivedoll https://www.instagram.com/p/CiPjUrgDZkQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Welcome back! As usual, it’s been a while since my last entry 😫
I am so sorry but it’s really difficult for me to find the time to keep this journal going steady, I do not know why (well, actually I know...the fact that I have to upload entry only from my computer it’s the main reason...I only turn on my pc twice a month maybe?? 😅 )
Anyway, welcome back, today I wanna show you another BJD entry, my new baby, the Pink Ballerina ❤️
As usual you can buy this set in my Etsy Shop I hope you will go check her out!
Today I wanna talk about how I made her outfit, it’s kind of a re-fashion outfit as it was the original dress it came with one of my doll (or at least, the dress the doll was wearing when my friend give her to me)
I do not have pictures of the original dress but it was really old and almost falling apart in some seams so I decided to give it a new life! ✨
- Pattern making
I decided to keep the skirt as it was in quite good condition but the top part was slowly falling a part so I decided to make a leotard and transform this outfit in a ballerina set ❤️
I started with making a new pattern as I never made a leotard for dolls so... first of all I use a muslin to make a base with my doll measurements and I traced the basic shape.
Then I cleaned up the lines and remove the mock up from my doll
After tracing it to eavy paper I had the basic pattern! (Soon I will sell it in my shop as well)
And this is the final result! ✨ Do you like it?
- The leotard
After drawing the pattern I took apart the original bodice and I used the fabric to make the leotard. The fabric was a really cute white jersey knit with pink polka dots.
I decided to avoid the darts at the bust but instead I made a gathered top part: to do so I cut the front pattern in half and pinned the top over the bottom part. So it can fit more dolls!
And this is the results so far...
Then to finish the leotard I decorated the underbust seam with a gathered white lace and I made two little ruffled sleeves with some white tulle net.
- The skirt
As I said I almost left the skirt as it was (I am trying to remember if the original was a one piece dress or was a top+skirt outfit 🤔 ....)
I just add and elastic waistband made with the same jersey of the leotard and decorated it with pink ruffled tulle net.
Then, just to add more sparkles ✨ I added 4 layers of iridescent pink tulle net underneath the white original tulle net of the skirt.
The gathered pink tulle net and white lace at the hem were on the original skirt so I decided to leave them like that because I like the total look.
Then for the accessories, I used the scraps from the bodice to make two little elastic cuffs, nothing too fancy as I almost run out of fabric, just two little stripes with elastic bands inside.
- Final look
Here some pictures of the finished set, as you can see my cat liked it very much 🤣
(I used a smaller doll for these pictures so the leotard was a bit loose 😅)
Thant’s all for today, I hope to be back soon!
As a New Year resolution I print out a kinda of planner to schedule all my social media activities so I hope it will help me to be more active! 😅
Meet Amethist! My newest and cutest pony I have ever made. She is very small, as I like small and cute things. And she can stand in just two legs, as you can see! I am loving to make those small but very jointed and flexible little dolls. What do you think about her?
Amethist is a handmade ball jointed doll, made out of cold porcelain. She is not painted (unless the hooves, with gliterrr) and has glass eyes and a white mane and tail.

When this photo popped up in my feed, I was reminded of the joy in giving up a blank doll to someone else's vision... I would never have dreamt up or accomplished such a unique Bulbi as that of @aurika_dollsandcorsets . If you like her as much as I do, take a second to feast your eyes on Anna's beautiful account (and like the original photo there too!) 😊 . . . #bjd #balljointeddoll #artbjd #artdoll #dollartistry #collectiondoll #customdoll #instadoll #handmadebjd #artsculpture #surrealart #artsculpture #popsurrealism #customtoy #arttoy #dollsculpture #bjdfaceup #dollrepaint #fashiondoll https://www.instagram.com/amaleina/p/Bsq-C7vgyd0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1tjmzrivevliw
Welcome back to the Tuesday entry!
Today I wanna show you a single set that is also part of a mini collection with the same name “Violet Bouquet”.
There are all the pieces that create the Violet Bouquet collection.
I am making only one post for the set and the collection this time because it is made of only few pieces, unfortunately I do not have this lovely fabric anymore - but I have a couple of totebags made with this that I can dismantle to have more.
I bought this fabric long time ago to make a Lolita skirt for me, I think I still have some picture somewhere.... yes I found them!
This skirt was a set corset + skirt actually, the corset is removable and I did the skirt with some ribbons inserted in the princess seams on the front and on the back to be gathered as a bustle. I used some purple cotton trim and lace to decorate this skirt but I do not have any more left to add to the dolls clothes.
It was a really fun skirt to make and I have worn it a lot (I also wear this skirt the day I graduated from the Fashion School), I think it is still somewhere in my parents’ house.
I used to wear it with my lilac corset, the first corset I ever did.
(Sorry if the pictures are really ugly, I was in high school when I sewn these garments so they are more than 15 years old! - also you can see the logo and the frame of my old website, not active anymore)
Anyway, let’s go back to the Violet Bouquet collection!
This collection is made of a corset, a long skirt and two short skirts.
The set corset + long skirt started as an historical project as I was using a circa 1600 gown for reference, but then I changed my mind because I did not have enought fabric for all the ruffles :(
As you can see I was quite accurate with the corset (except for all the details on the bertha collar), I did the same V shape on the front and tried to replicate as much as I can the sleeves, luckly I had a purple lace that was perfect for this project!
For the skirt I tried to stay true to the original silhouette but again I did not have so much fabric so I changed the shape a bit: I kept the pleats on the waist but I made them less deep and I decided to do a little train on the back.
I used the same lace and three small bows to make the ruffles and the decorations on the back.
I tried a little shooting with this dress (again on my sofa) to check if the lenght was the one I want and to be sure it didn’t need a petticoat underneath to keep its shape, when I was satisfied I took better pictures against the wall.
I love sooo much this set and I think it’s perfect for this doll and this wig. It’s by far ma favourite project togheter with She-ra.
Do you like it? What do you think? Let me know!
You can always find this project in my Etsy shop if you are interest and it can be made in any fabric you like and fort any dolls you like.
Moving on to the rest of the pieces, the two skirts, I made them using a circle skirt pattern that it is also available on Etsy along with the corset pattern.
The first skirt is a simple circle skirt with three layers of gathered lace and organza, the same you have seen in white on my Belle Cosplay.
It closes with a bit of velchro fastener in the back, hidden under a little bow in the same fabric.
The second skirt is an asymmetrical skirt, longer on the back with a gathered ruffle in the middle made in the same fabric and the same purple lace used on the set on the bottom ruffle.
Again, it closes with a bit of velchro fastener in the back, hidden under a little bow in the same fabric.
And there are some pictures of these skirts with the off-white shirt that I already shown you and the corset of the set.
I hope you like them and that you like this fabric as much as I do!
See you again on Thursday with another dolls collection.

Bentornati al post del Martedi!
Oggi vi farò vedere un set singolo che fa parte di una mini collezione chiamati entrambi “Violet Bouquet”.
Questi sono tutti i pezzi che fanno parte della collezione Violet Bouquet.
Faccio un post unico per il set e la collezione questa volta perchè è fatta solo di pochi pezzi, purtroppo non ho più questa adorabile stoffa - anche se ho due borse realizzate con lo stesso tessuto che potrei sempre smontare per averne di più.
Ho comprato questa stoffa tanto tempo fa per farmi una gonna Lolita dovrei ancora avere le foto da qualche parte.... a si le ho trovate!
Questa gonna in realtà è un completo corsetto + gonna, il corsetto è una sorta di cintura removibile e nella gonna ho inserito dei canali nelle cuciture davanti e dietro per far passare all’interno dei nastri di raso da tirare su per arricciare la gonna. Ho usato poi una passamaneria e un pizzo di cotone viola per decoare orli e cuciture, purtroppo però non ne avevo più per usarli anche sugli abiti per le bambole.
E’ stata una gonna molto divertente da realizzare e l’ho usata tantissimo (l’ho indossata anche il giorno che mi sono diplomata all’Accademia di Moda) e probabilmente è ancora da qualche parte a casa dei miei genitori.
La indossavo sorapttutto insieme al mio corsetto lilla, uno dei primi corsetti “seri” che ho realizzato.
(Mi spiace le foto sono veramente orribili, ero al liceo quando ho cucito questi abiti...perciò più di 15 anni fa! - inoltre potete vedere il vecchio logo e la grafica che usavo nel mio vecchio sito web, non più attivo ormai)
Comunque, tornaimo a parlare della collezione Violet Bouquet!
Come dicevo questa collezione è costituita da un corsetto + gonna lunga e da due gonne a ruota corte.
Il set è iniziato come un progetto storico perchè stavo usando un’immagine di un abito del 1600 circa come ispirazione, poi ho dovuto purtroppo cambiare idea strada facendo perchè non avevo abbastanza stoffa per la gonna e tutte le arricciature :(
Come potete vedere ho cercato di rimanere abbastanza fedele nel fare il corsetto (tranne che per tutte le decorazioni sulla scollatura), ho tenuto la forma a V del davanti e anche le maniche sono abbastanza simili, per fortuna avevo un pizzo lilla perfetto per questo abito!
Per la gonna invece ho cercato di mantenere il più possibile la silhouette originale ma ho dovuto fare alcune modifiche per via della mancanza di stoffa: ho mantenuto le pieghe in vita ma le ho fatte meno profonde e ho deciso di fare un piccolo strascico sul dietro.
Ho usato lo stesso pizzo lilla per le balze e ho fatto tre piccoli fiocchetti nello stesso tessuto da mettere sul dietro.
Ho fatto qualche foto (sempre sul divano) per controllare la lunghezza finale e verificare se fosse necessaria una petticoat per mantenere la forma, dopo aver verificato che l’aspetto era come lo volevo ho fatto delle foto migliori contro il muro.
Adoro tantissimoooo questo set, credo sia perfetto per questa bambola e questa parrucca. Fin’ora è sicuramente il mio lavoro preferito insieme a She-ra.
Che ne pensate? Vi piace? Fatemi sapere!
Come sempre trovate questo progetto nel mio negozio Etsy se vi interessa e può essere riprodotto con qualsiasi tessuto e per qualsiasi bambola.
Andando avanti con gli altri pezzi, le due gonne, le ho realizzate usando il cartamodello per gonne a ruota disponibile nel mio negozio, così come il cartamodello per il corsetto.
La prima gonna è una semplice gonna a ruota con tre balze di organza e pizzo arricciati, lo stesso pizzo che ho usato bianco per il Cosplay di Belle.
Dietro si chiude con un pezzetto di velcro sulla cintura, nascosto da un fiocchetto dello stesso tessuto.
La seconda gonna è una gonna asimmetrica, più lunga dietro, decorata con una balza arricciata di tessuto al centro euna balza arricciata in fondo, decorata con lo stesso pizzo del set.
Anche questa, si chiude dietro con un pezzetto di velcro sulla cintura, nascosto da un fiocchetto dello stesso tessuto.
Ed ecco alcune foto delle gonne indossate, con la camicetta crema che vi ho già mostrato e con il corsetto del set.
Spero vi piacciano e che troviate la stoffa adorabile come me! I hope you like them and that you like this fabric as much as I do!
Ci vediamo Giovedi per parlare di un’altra collezione di abiti per bambole!
A presto
