Doll Artistry Magazine

Great news! :D

I've recently been in contact with Doll Artistry Magazine - which is a new magazine for doll fans of all kinds! It covers artist dolls, BJDs, Reborns... all sorts really - yay!


The super-awesome part is: Issue #2 will feature my *new* Boot tutorial for BJDs, with lots of clear pictures and explanations!

The method shown is for MSD size (as modelled by the lovely DZ Kimi in my post of 7th March) and it can easily be adapted for other size dolls too.






Take a look here! :

    Hi, I just want to say I've really enjoyed your blog. I stumbled on it tonight, looking around for other doll artists, and have really enjoyed looking at everything you've posted. :)

    I particularly like the wigs, I've started making some myself from Tibetan Lamb skins. Your technique looks so interesting, thanks for sharing!

    Hi Tess,

    Thanks so much for your kind message, I'm delighted to hear you've enjoyed your visit!
    Tibetan Lamb skins for wigs sounds very interesting, if you have any links to your work feel free to post here - I'd love to see how they look! :D

    I only have these on my blog so far:

    When my Iplehouse dolls arrive, I have some Lamb plates ready to make wigs. I'll take pictures of the process and post them on my blog for posterity.

    A really good tutorial can be found on Martha Boers blog, Antique Lilac: She is amazing!

    I make mine in a different way, so I'll definitely try and get it on record. :D I'm kind of excited to try wefting some left over mohair I have left and have a go with your method. I did something similar once before, years ago, on an old Obitsu 27cm doll, but your way looks a lot less messy! :)

Nier: Automata - All the 2B Dolls and Figures I Can Find

Image
Dear Square Enix - we want more Nier: Automata Dolls and Figures to collect. We NEED them! Please and thank you. My current gaming obsession, together with countless other millions of dedicated fans, is Nier: Automata. So who's with me on wishing they could afford to add the Black Box Edition's collector's figure of main character 2B to their roster of dolls and figures Just look how awesomely cool she is! But at £226.96 (+ £31 p&p) that's not going to happen for me right now. If you can go get her, she's on eBay right now, but if I were you I'd be quick about it! :D So while we're pining over 2B looking gorgeous, why don't we take a look at all the other official and fan-made Nier: Automata-inspired dolls and figures that are scooting around the web at the moment. Plus, on my hunt for these I even found a juicy little teaser from Square Enix about a possible new 2B figure coming out , which I'll reveal at the bottom of this post -

Nier: Automata - Dollfie Is Making A 9S Doll As Well!

Image
A BJD of 9S! Dollfie have announced their release of a 9S BJD and I managed to find this picture of him! Adorable right? He appears to be a little less tall than 2B, just like in the game which is great. A release date hasn't been announced yet, and nor has the price point, but knowing Dollfie I wouldn't expect anything less than £1000.  Which is a minus point for me personally, but understandable for a limited edition production.  However I'm really, really looking forward to all the photos popping up over the internet of 2B and 9S together once they've both been released - I'm hoping there will be lots of adorable photostories. People of the internet: please make it happen!  ☺ Another thing - this music video collaboration between Square Enix and Japanese rock band Amazarashi is where we caught our first glimpse of 2B as a Dollfie doll. But this does come with a warning - if you think you'll be freaked out by watching dolls being crushed b
