New sneak peek on Peak's Woods website

I love Peak's Woods photography... and I hate to wait! Check out that face-up! Here is the link to the current basic Wake-up Lottie.

And, for kicks, a photo of mine.

... And happy birthday!

Doll Chateau Erica, a photo by alington on Flickr.

It's the most... wonderful... time... of the year!

My birthday is in early January, and Doll Chateau Erica made an early arrival, as well. I'm so spoiled.

She has a face-up by Jay Searle, and she's just gorgeous. She came from Denver Doll. You can see more photos of this pouty thing on Flickr.

She's a little hard to fit, with her willowy limbs, small bust and large hips. I managed to squeeze her hips into a negligee for Peggy Harcourt (Tonner Doll's curvy body), and a top made for City Girls by Tonner Toys.

Merry Christmas to me!

DIM Kassia, a photo by alington on Flickr.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit how long Doll in Mind Kassia has been on my wish list... but she is now home!

I have to confess, I should have added her way sooner. She is one BJD who looks even more beautiful than her promotional photos. She is so spooky.

Gorgeous lush lips with teeny vampire teeth, and pointy elf ears--and she has a face plate, interestingly. I feel like I need her half-eye plate now as well.

She is wearing The Duchess by DollHeart and a Leeke wig. You can see more photos on Flickr.

Two.S.Doll Vivi

It was a year of a lot of new dolly additions to this household.  Let's check out one of the newest ladies.  Her name is Vivi and she comes from Two.S.Doll.  She is a quite tall SD sized BJD dressed in a DollHeart pink dress.

Did you get any new BJDs for Xmas?  I was very excited to receive some tiny BJD clothing.

Find out more info about this little lady at this blog post.

It's so warm under there!

From December 2009, this is Lily's first Christmas. While she's gotten bigger, she still adores those crystal ornaments.

My very first large ABJD, Peak's Woods Sky in white skin. Still one of my favorite girls, I can't imagine her going anywhere.

She's dressed in Alice Fantasy by DollHeart, and DH wig. I took this photo posed on the coffee table in front of the Christmas tree in December 2009.

Morphoa as the Queen of Hearts

This is Dollzone's Morphoa, dressed in DollHeart's Queen of Hearts outfit and DH wig. Morphoa has had an amazing face-up by the talented Leah Lilly of Froggy Duds.

This photo was taken in late November 2010, just after setting up the Christmas tree.

Goldie

I'm playing catch-up on the blog(s) today.

This week, I'll be posting some oldies but goodies, I hope. My favorite "prop" is a Christmas tree, since it makes for such wonderful background lighting.

Here, you can see Peak's Woods Goldie, my very first version of her with a default face-up. I took this photo in December of 2009. She's wearing her default eyes and wig, and DollHeart's Love 'n the Ice outfit.

New Fairy of Fairytales Chi Chi from Peak's Woods

Peak's Woods has released the first doll of their newest project called "Into the Woods." She is a tiny doll, Fairy of Fairytales size, called Chi Chi. Available both as a basic doll and as a full set, her Red Riding Hood outfit is available for only one month.

You have the option to order her blank, with her default face-up ($60) or her special face-up ($70). Her outfit, wig and shoes are all available separately.

I think she's perfectly adorable!

Another Wig for Asleep Eidolon Peppermint

After making my first wig for the 16 cm Asleep Eidolon, Peppermint, I couldn't help but make another wig after finding some wig material at a local second-hand store.  This is a long flowing blond wig, perfect for those girly outfits.  Check out more info for this no-sew wig on this blog post.

Custom Wig for Asleep Eidolon Peppermint

Give that little BJD cutie a new wig by reusing an old one.  The pictured Asleep Eidolon 16 cm doll, Peppermint, desperately needed a wig and I decided to go with the no-sew tutorial provided on the BJD Magazine website.  I used an old mohair-like wig that was just collecting dust.  I took the idea just a little further and gave her a more complex hairstyle.  Click here for more information on how to spice up your wig project even more.

D.i.M. Christmas event

Doll in Mind Bellose - on my wish list

All right--I confess, I have had several Doll in Mind dolls on my mind and my wish list forEVER. And there is a great Christmas event going on right now. Check it out:

Kassia from DiM.

1. Buy any complete doll, and get a free head (company choice) of the same size. The heads are chosen randomly.
2. Love male & female body event: For $250, you can buy a complete, unassembled Love body (male or female), and the Happy body is just $170. The package includes elastic strings and S-hooks, but no box.

Great deals! They last through December 31, 2012. Also--Denver Doll Emporium is a DIM dealer. They are at least offering the free head event.

My problem: I can't decide which of these girls I like the most! I adore three of the large Love girls: Bellose, Kassia and Leonora. Bellose seems sad and a bit droopy. I love that. Kassia seems the most wicked of the three, depending on how you set her eyes. Leonora has the largest lips and eyes of the three, and the most baby-ish face--plus her upper lip sticks out.

Leonora, a newer girl from DiM.

If that's not enough, I could possibly use a smaller size--since I'm running out of room in my cabinet. A Happy girl might bit in my collection a bit better. I really love Luria's pouty face.

D.i.M. Luria - Happy size

Flowne has also been on my mind for ever--since those three fairy dolls have come and gone. All three are now available as non-fairy sculpts as well (Morning Dew and Fantasia), but I love Flowne's drooping ears.

Flowne - D.i.M. Happy girl

Benetia is one of those girls that has always been on my wish list, and she just has never gotten home to me. I always mark her as a favorite on Flickr, and I think--well, I think she may be it. She's a mini vampire. There is also a half-closed eye head for her, which I would love to have.

D.i.M. Happy size Benetia

My birthday is in January. I think I might need to broaden my horizons a bit. What do you all think? Do you have a vote? A favorite?

What is Den of Angels and how do you join?

Den of Angels is a large online community of Asian ball-jointed doll collectors, which includes a message forum, wiki, news center, reviews, reference site, galleries, workshop, and marketplace. It's a wonderful resource for all BJD collectors. At the time of this post, DoA has 37,754 members, 10,335 of which are active. There are 320,921 threads and 5,860,210 posts in those threads.

Before joining any community, you should make yourself aware of the rules. Den of Angels has a mission statement:

The Den of Angels forum is intended solely for the appreciation of Asian ball-jointed dolls (ABJD) that meet our criteria. Though we have an extensive Marketplace available to members, our focus is on being a community and resource for people to share and enjoy their dolls through photography, customization and discussion.

Keep in mind that there are many message boards available. Just because your doll may not fit in the criteria at DoA doesn't mean that it isn't a BJD. It simply means you should discuss your specific doll on another board. Does that mean you shouldn't join?

It depends. I think there is a lot to be learned on large message boards. Even if you mostly lurk, you can discover a lot of different tips and techniques, plus gain inspiration for your next project. But you must keep in mind that if your doll is off-topic, you need to keep it where it belongs.

Community members who are in good standing, have been online for 25 days and have made at least 40 posts may invite up to seven new members per week. Each of these is approved by the current administration as well, to prevent any banned members from rejoining.

If you don't know anyone already in the community, you may request an invitation to join. You can email membership (at) den of angels (dot) com. (Of course, make that into an email address--with @ and .com). See additional information here.

Once you join, I encourage you to check out the Newbie forum. Only users with fewer than 40 posts may start new threads in this forum. It's a great resource for new collectors!

I hope to see you there. (My username is alington!)

Meet me in St. Louis! - a review

St. Louis BJD Convention

November 15-17, 2013

St. Louis, MO

Make time, book your flight! More information will be coming soon.

I attended this year as a guest--and I had an absolute blast. I am planning to do all I can to get back next year. I have never in my life met a doll group so enthusiastic and welcoming!

Not only did I sell out of my books, I was surprised and delighted to have Tricia, one of the event coordinators, meet me at the airport (at 11 PM at night) to take me to my hotel (even when there was a free shuttle). She also arranged for a ride to the meeting site the next day--which I didn't even need, since I was able to get a lift with other very friendly attendees also staying at the hotel.

The hotel was nice and quiet. The meeting facilities were huge. The food was great. The people--oh my goodness! They were all wonderful. Even the staff whose parents volunteered them for the day were enthusiastic. (I even got a free movie review!)

I felt welcomed and at home, and my classes were well attended, and I hope the attendees felt like they learned something new. I was able to meet lots of people I'd only ever "spoken" to online. It was really fun. There was a great raffle and even better auction, too.

So make time on your schedule--and save your money! There was tons of great goodies in the sales room. You'll want to be there next year! (And if someone from there invites you as a guest--don't hesitate! Say yes!!)

Melissa and the house of flying dollies

What I mean by "flying dollies" is that they tend to fly into and subsequently out of my possession. I am putting a couple of girls up for sale, and I wanted to give those who might not necessarily have access to DoA the chance to window shop.

I am going to be parting with two of my Soom girls: Cuprit and Alex. I have not yet listed Alex as I am awaiting a replacement part for her, but I am still putting her out there to see if there might be any interest.

First up is Soom's MD Cuprit, Black Frost.
This is the original version of Cuprit, and she is very nearly a fullset.

At $1400.00, she will include:
-head with default face-up
-human body               -fantasy body
-eyes (Cuprit default)  -wig (Cuprit default)
-horns                          -CoA
-Original Box

I am also parting with my Soom Alex. She is a gorgeous girl, but she is a little too similar to Amber, who I also own. Additionally, I am trying to change my collection around a little bit. Alex was Soom's New York Comic Con exclusive, and is somewhat hard to come by. Please note, this poor girl has a broken finger which is sort of a work in progress. I should be able to get a replacement hand, however!

At $580, she will include
-head with default face-up
-human body
-eyes

I have discounted her price slightly to reflect the broken finger! Poor girl!

If you have any questions or are interested in either of these ladies, please don't hesitate to email me!

Peak's Woods sneak peek and update

There is a sneak peek of the upcoming winter event on Peak's Woods home page. I spy some Fairy of Fairytales (tiny) tan dolls, including Hucky, Rabbit Goon and Lady Alice up there! They are adorable, and it's been a while since we've seen any tan tinies! (The last one was tan Naomi in July 2010!)

And while I'm adding this post... look what else I found!

Tanned Lady Alice

Tanned Rabbit Goon

Tanned Cheshire Goon

Tanned Hucky

White Skin Rabbit Goon

According to the page, here's what's included:

• FOF doll with the renewal body (your choice, boy or girl)
• Limited Face up
• Hands : 1 pairs of extra hand parts
• Eyes : 14mm acrylic eyes (random)
• Monthly fairy
• Cushions : 1 pair of cotton cushions.
• Certificate of authenticity
• Box

Ordering period is from November 17 through November 27 only, and lay-away is available, and there is a 10% discount offered.

The white skin doll is $292.80, and the tan dolls are $352.80 each. Oh my--so cute!

Additionally, the Fairy of Fairytales body has been renewed. Now, the elbows are double-jointed, the knee joint has been updated, the torso has been reshaped, and the basic hands have been reshaped slightly. The body part isn't for sale alone, however you can see additional photos here.

Wigs that won't hurt the wallet!

Whether you are a BJD n00b or veteran, it is likely that you are a fan of saving money where you can. BJD wigs tend to be a bit pricey, ranging anywhere from $25.00 - $50.00 and sometimes even more!

Well fear not!

AnimeStuffStore.com has just begun stocking doll-sized wigs! There isn't an overwhelming variety at the moment, but I'd venture that might change if the current stock sells well! The wigs come in some cute styles, and there are even a few split-color wigs! The best part? The most expensive style costs $12.95.

MOST expensive and $12.95 does not compute!!!

I just picked up one of these wigs for myself, and I will make a post about the quality and appearance whence it arrives!

You can find the wigs at AnimeStuffStore.com! Check it out!

One of a kind DollHeart Jollyplus Murray

So I confess I've been watching this doll for over a week, and she's just been relisted--for less.

Aquarius. I have her wig already, but her fashion--it's to die for!

She's a One Off Jollyplus Murray, white skin, with face-up and blue glass eyes. She's dressed in a special white version of the McQueen fashion. And she's got the shoes and Gaga wig included. Gorgeous!

She's like a modern White Queen.

Arrrgh! Getting ready for the St. Louis BJD Convention

I'm a hot mess today. I've had a child home with strep throat all week, and I've been trying to get ready for the St. Louis BJD Convention!

I've got lots of fun stuff, though. I've finished the flyers for my two workshops, and I have another handy handout to bring along with me. I also have a few books to bring, lots of free post cards and brand new business cards.

I will have some exclusive BJD clothing to offer that is handcrafted by Megann Art and also by Jennygrey at my table, and I will be taking orders for Peak's Woods dolls at the event as well. You'll be able to check out a few of their dolls in person, too. I'm nervous about bringing the dolls with me--I want to carry them on the plane with me, rather than checking them, but I don't think I can do that.

I've gotta get back to the laundry!

I can't wait to meet you all. And I've got a little pink going on for the event.

A Confession

   That's right, I have a confession to make. After having enjoyed Ball-Jointed Dolls (BJDs) for over three years now, I have no idea what I want.

   Many years ago (three) I was a naive girl trying to learn more about "dollfies." I caught my first glimpse of Ball-Jointed Dolls at a number of anime conventions. At first I thought it was a little bit weird, but then I found people carrying these giant resin boys and girls to be kind of endearing. I decided that I wanted to be part of that odd culture - I needed a Ball-Jointed Doll, and I needed it now.

                 Image copyright of Asleep Eidolon

   I poured MANY hours into my BJD research. I looked at dolls from China, Japan, Korea...everywhere. I was absolutely captivated by Soom's 'The Gem' line, but I knew there was no way I could EVER spend so much on a doll. After looking at basically every BJD website under the sun, I decided that I really liked Asleep Eidolon. Their dolls were among the most beautiful I had seen, the prices were relatively manageable (considering),  and I was just smitten. I had my money saved up, I sent a message to the seller, and they told me the dolls weren't actually in-stock.

What?

   That wouldn't give me the instant gratification that I so craved! What did I do? Well I ordered a totally different doll that I wasn't even sure I liked in hopes of getting her sooner, of course! The irony being that, this doll also had to be made and I would have a similar wait time with her. 

   So after three months of pining and heartache, my Boy & Girl doll Natalia arrived - and as much as I hate to admit it, upon seeing her, I felt disappointment. She didn't seem as pretty to me in real life, and I kept feeling an emotion reminiscent of guilt when I thought of certain aspects of her sculpt I just didn't like. I had just dumped what was to me a bucket of money into something that I felt very 'meh' about. 

Back to the drawing board!

   After several months of posts saying, "welcome to the boards," and "wow, she is so pretty!" on Den of Angels, I was finally granted marketplace access. This was both a blessing and a curse for me. I was still "stuck" with Natalia, but now I had the BJD marketplace at my very fingertips! Very shortly after receiving access, I found a thread for another Boy & Girl doll head. I snatched the head up with very little thought. "It was meant to be!" I told myself. I mean, the same skin tone?! All I have to do is sell Natalia's head and then I will be back on track!

   ...and for a while there, I was "on track" (whatever that means in the BJD world). I had a doll that made my heart melt every time I walked past her. She was my special girl, and I brought her to every doll meet-up. Aurora even won me a DollHeart gift certificate for being so darn pretty! Eventually, an Angel of Dream Qian appeared, and I had my two lovely girls. Qian's features were a bit more "sharp" than I generally prefer, but I still found her lovely. 

   The first BJD meeting I attended was hosted by Ms. Cholong of DollHeart up in Glendale. I had a great time, and when I found out she was hosting an event down in San Diego, I just HAD to go! 

   The meet was at Marie Calendar's up past Poway, and that was the day I met a silly short-haired woman named Alison and her dark-haired Canadian friend (Jen, not some beau on the side). As we were seated for food, I ended up sitting next to her and Jen. The two of them were giggling as Alison clutched a giant teal box to her chest. I hadn't realized, but Ms. Cholong actually had one of the DollHeart models for sale - a beautiful Peak's Woods wake-up Cue in a Rococo gown. I recall looking over to my right and asking, "did you buy that?" I was a bit stunned - the thought of not having to put a doll on layaway was a novel concept indeed. 

   Events transpired quickly, but at some point I recall getting invited to a future meet-up with friends of Alison and Jen. I was happy to tag along - Alison and Jen seemed like fun people, and I was distinctly lacking in female friends. Sure enough, I had a good time...but I felt like my girls just didn't measure up, somehow. I was positively enamored with the beautiful Peak's Woods girls that Alison would bring to meets, but felt they too were out of my price range. 

   I attended meetings for a while, and ended up acquiring two MSD-sized girls - a DollZone Shoyo-2, and an Angell-Studio Mandarava. I really loved this girls, but I also admired the ability to stick with only one company. I started to worry that since my girls were from completely different companies, they didn't really match well. 

   I felt conflicted, and this was the point at which I blew out all of my dolls on DoA and became the revolving door of dollies. For some reason, the hobby was suddenly a status thing for me, and I traded my three or so lesser-known BJDs for such heavy-hitters as an Unoa, an Iplehouse, and several Fairyland girls. None of these girls ended up sticking around, however. I felt like they were lovely, but so was the idea of a pile of money...and with that pile of money, I could get more dolls that were new and exciting to me!

   The pile of money turned into a Dollfie Dream and a second-hand Peak's Woods girl named Yeru. While the two girls didn't match, I loved them both because of how different they were. My custom DD had that sexy-but-sweet anime appeal, and Yeru was just adorable. Not to mention, she was a Peak's Woods - I was part of the club now! 

   I ended up acquiring a few more Peak's Woods girls - a Yami and Goldie. My three big Peak's Woods girls were probably my most beloved dolls, but as they say, stuff happens! 

   From the get-go, I was resolute on someday acquiring a Soom Amber. I knew that she was my grail, and I knew that I needed her (essential to my survival, need). After having hosted their first "special order" event, I knew it was just a matter of time before Soom would re-release their line of Super Gem girls. The unfortunate part was that they announced the special event that I NEEDED to take part in within a day or so of my getting a speeding ticket...YIKES.

TOUGH CHOICES

   I determined that the only course of action was to sell my beloved Peak's Woods in order to get my grail. Several grails later, here I am wanting Peak's Woods girls back in my life. This leads me to a choice, the choice which prompted me to write this article: to sell, or not to sell, and where the heck am I going with my collection?

   There are things about my big Soom girls that I absolutely love - they are stunning pieces of art that truly capture the imagination. They are just wonderful for fans of both fantasy and the Asian BJD aesthetic. In my opinion, the fantasy aspects tend to also be problematic, however. Sculpts are beautiful, but it seems like the emphasis isn't always on the mechanical aspects of how these parts are going to work on an actual doll. I love Amber, don't get me wrong..but her fantasy body drives me up a freaking wall. 

RAAAAAGE

   I think it is important to consider what you enjoy most about the hobby. What I enjoy most about the hobby is collecting outfits and re-styling dolls. Bulky, awkward fantasy bodies make this...well, awkward. I really enjoyed adorning my girls with precious gothic-lolita inspired pieces by Peak's Woods. Whimsical Amber and stoic Cuprit don't really rock the DollHeart quite as well, I feel. 

   So there is a lot to consider. Am I doing this to have a beautiful piece of artwork that is more akin to a resin statue, or a more kinetic piece that I actually feel like I can play with? After having written this post, I suspect I should cull anyone I feel I don't absolutely need, and try to actually save money toward those dolls I would like to have back in my life...and I think that is maybe the important lesson for me to take away. Being a grown-up sucks, and you sometimes have to make tough financial choices (like, do we need a washing machine, or do I need Peak's Woods dolls). Either that, or I need buy my metal detector and start scanning the beach. Oh, first-world problems. 

"My owner is a freaking ding-dong."

Ack! Christmas came early this year--and do you think I could wait? I don't think so.

Introducing Rogita by Peak's Woods (the original version has sleepier eyes, and Rogita Blossom's eyes are fully open). She is a full-set doll, dressed in a special red version of Bloody Alice, offered by DollHeart. She has a limited edition face-up, too.
