Where can I purchase BJD?
BJD are most often purchased directly from companies in Asia or from the artists themselves. There are a few dealers in the US who carry them.
What products/supplies do you use for your face-ups?
I use artist quality soft pastels, Liquitex paint and water color pencils for my face-ups, body blushing and tattoos. All of my work is sealed with MSC. I use Windsor Newton Brush Cleaner and Magic Erasor to remove face-ups.
Do you do modifications?
At this time I do not offer sanding or modification services.
How long does it take for you to complete a commission?
It depends on how many commissions I am currently working on and other factors such as the weather, (MSC is fickle when it comes to weather conditions). Generally, my turn around is 1-2 weeks depending on the complexity of the commission. I will always let you know if it will be longer than that.
Do you sew your dolls clothing?
I WISH! While I'm a competant seamstress when it comes to human-sized clothing, I haven't quite mastered the art of teeny tiny stiches.
