BJD - Wip parts - steampunk. BJD - Wip parts - Steampunk. Sculpting, casting, stringing. Again I made a basic form this time out of tin foil (again covered in press and seal so the sculpey wouldn't stick) )for the torso and sculpted away!
To keep thinks looking smooth, I sculpted all parts in full. So for example rather than trying to sculpt the top part of the torso and the bottom repeatedly, I made it as one full torso, put the soft sculpt in the freezer to harden, then with a scalpel cut the pieces in half with a horse shoe shape in front. This was then baked.

Hardly a tutorial, as I do my hair differently every time and I don’t have a “procedure” yet, but still something to give folks an idea of how to go about it. I get a lot of questions about hair, some folks even ask whether one needs to cut it off the pelt or just put it on the doll with the skin. All right, here we go: How to make OOAK hair out of Tibetan Lamb fur 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The Fabri-tac glue is kept on a piece of paper throughout the whole process (a drop at a time, as it dries quickly).

There are many ways of making BJD's, I will just be talking about the way I have done it and the references I used and learned from as well as supplies needed and where to purchase them from. I will be adding information as I go. Here is an outline of the topics I will be covering over the next several weeks. I also placed a discussion thread so we can chat about the process.
