Doll Makers Dream- How to Make Your Own Dolls

BJD Making from scratch by ~TherieKardie Handmade Art Dolls on Etsy - Cloth, beaded, hard and soft sculpted, art dolls bjd_wtf: Chapter Ten: Making Your Own BJD From Scratch 'I think they are too expensive. How do I make my own ball joint doll?' Firstly, it's not as easy as you might think to sculpt and cast your own doll, and it's definitely not cheaper. My suggestion would be to go back to the first chapter and re-read the section on how BJDs are made before deciding that you want to make your own. Secondly, casting can be dangerous since resin is partially composed of Isocyanate, which by it's name is probably related to Cyanide and is therefore poisonous. Hopefully you have some experience with both sculpting and casting but if not, the best way to learn is by doing. Last of all, sculpting and casting your own doll can be very rewarding. Whatever you do, be careful, follow product directions and Wear A Mask! If you want to learn from others, join the forum: The Joint. Note: many of the tutorials presented here are not BJD specific but instead deal with how to cast polyurethane resin or silicone molds. MaterialsThomas.NetSearch for suppliers in your area!
