I spent an hour writing this post a couple of weeks ago and it just disappeared when I hit the post button. That among other things is why I haven't felt like posting on here!
I have every intention of being active here again, so this is me trying to rewrite my lost post.
This is a little bit of niche doll history, because I fell down a rabbit hole of sorts and spent my money on a very obscure doll.
To put you in my shoes, these were the photos that introduced me to this doll, In the form of a Facebook marketplace listing of course.
My first thought was wow, that wig was a choice.
My second thought was that whoever wrote this listing was using some kind of AI assistance, as it claimed that this doll was a Japanese resin bjd from the 90s.
I'm familiar enough with both resin and porcelain that I could tell that this is a porcelain doll. The supposed sculptor name included in the listing also returned no search results, and on top of that, the listing was $500.
Still, I was drawn to the sculpting. It's such a unique style that is reminiscent of so many fine arts dollmakers I admire. I returned to the listing a number of times and as nobody else seemed interested, the price steadily dropped.
At $100 I almost felt obligated to buy this doll. It was at this final price drop that I realised the sculptor's name engraved on the doll's head was misspelled in the listing text. No wonder it wasn't searchable.
With the sculptor's actual name, I found some information about this sculpt.
This is Mito, by Japanese sculptor Byakuya Muneyasu. Mito was released as a greenware kit in 2012 in collaboration with New York Doll Products.
These images and information on Mito were sourced from Porcelain Dolls by Me , who still sell Mito kits today.
I'm such a fan of the painting on the stock image model Mito, those big Margaret Keane eyes and that body blushing is to die for.
Also noteworthy is this art installation by Zoe Jackson that uses a Mito kit. I really wish I had known about this piece when I was writing for my own installation piece last year! It's incredible.
With this information on Mito, including the knowledge that the unpainted greenware kit is just under $200, I purchased the $100 marketplace Mito. And because she was being shipped from within Australia, she arrived within a week!
I still don't have an outfit that fits her properly, but I want to give her something transparent so that her incredible sculpt and painting aren't obscured too much. I'll sew her something when I find the appropriate fabrics second hand.
That periwinkle twintail wig really didn't suit her in my opinion, so I found a brunette wig in my stash and it fit her head perfectly.
I really liked the curls, but the wig was in a terrible state and it was easier to clean it straightened.
I'll give her new curls eventually, I'm sure.
I think that's all I have to tell you about Mito, who as of my first time writing this post was my newest doll. More on that when I feel like it.

A few years ago, I took the eyes and hair and paint off of a Rainbow High head, glued unraveled rib knit fabric yarns to her scalp, repainted her using a modern Licca as a guide, put her on a Blythe body, said "Wow this is incredibly cute!" and then gave her away.
I eventually acquired another RH head that matched the last tan Blythe body I had been so generously given, and I stripped everything off the head to make another version. I initially tried copying a vintage Licca friend, but wasn't happy with that, so I stripped the paint and put the doll back in the project box.
Last week, I decided it was time to repaint her, and that's why I dug up that Macoto Takahashi paint tutorial from Dolly*Dolly.
She's not perfect, because I have spent so much more time sewing for dolls than painting them, but she's not bad, either. Maybe I'll keep this version around for a while.
A few quick shots of the opalite cabochons I got from etsy to use as doll eyes, worn by my Bobobie Weylin, Link. (decided to keep that wig, btw) Gettin’ all Fierce Deity up in here!
Kinda glad those 12mm opalite sphere sold out now, or I would never have found these–and they work perfectly! I think the spheres would have been too small, actually.
I just finished this medieval style tunic today for one of my Paola Reina dolls. I recreated a pattern I found on Pinterest to the doll's measurements, and made it in two colours of linen (natural and mustard) with full embroidered neckline and sleeves.
The pattern includes front and back inserts, and underarm gussets, to allow for more freedom of movement - yes, the doll does not need them, but it was really fun to try a completely new idea, and I really enjoyed taking my time with the details.
Now I want to make one for each of my dolls, she looks so cute, and this is exactly the kind of style I was looking for!

Sometimes I forget to post projects here, the one place I could write a whole wall of text in!
I saw this body on ig and it had a backstory, but as soon as I saw it, I had to message the owner to buy it! I was originally going to do another kintsugi/visibly broken doll, but I’ve been challenging myself to do different things this year, like I used to when I was fresher to the hobby!
Step 1 was gluing everything together with loctite and reinforcing the insides with apoxie sculpt. Step 2 was finding a head and purpose for this. Luckily I have plenty of floating heads!
This one had more intact pieces, and it could almost pass as normal once everything was put together. All fingers and toes fit, all joints and the only thing it was missing was one half of an elbow peanut. The one piece I couldn’t reinforce lest it look weird were the fingers. I will look for some gold rings to cover them!
