Iβve wanted the BJD eye backs for so long, but at $8 a pop and 20 dollsβ¦ not within reasonable reach atm. So I tossed my brain around and came up with an easy diy. Itβs not as clean or pretty as the plastic magnetic ones, but no one is going to see them and they arenβt all that hard to fix/remake.

Well I took the plunge and dyed Nova! It was my first time doing this and I was so nervous but excited! And here's how she came out! I was aiming for a lighter, less red brown but I'll take what I can get lol. Not bad for my first dye job! The body took the dye beautifully, her older head, not so much but it's nothing some blushing can't take care of later. Overall I'm pretty happy π #bjd #balljointeddoll #dyedbjd #dollmore #dfh #dollfamilyh #bjdhybrid https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc-BOujOXw-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Oooeeee new yarn!!! Arrived yesterday, so many exciting colors I had to immediately start knitting something (for Minigenue of course!) Oh but Iβd never experienced yarn βhanksβ before, what a pain I quickly realized as I sat trying to knit double stranded color work and ending up with a tangled up mess. Iβm waiting for a yarn winder to arrive but I was impatient, so hand wound a few yarn balls, also something Iβve never done before. Adorable multi-colored garlic bulbs, I had to share! π§΅Yarn details: βCascade Yarnsβ π΅πͺ 100% Peruvian Highland Wool π§Ά Fingering weight, Iβm using 1.5mm needles. #LegitBJD #DyedBJD #FairIsleDollSweaters #Minigenue #ArtifexKindred #TwiglingIngenue #MiniKindred #BJD #BallJointedDoll #knitting #KnitDollClothes #BJDknitting #FairIsleKnitting #CascadeYarns #CascadeYarns220 #cascadeyarns220fingering #PeruvianHighlandWool #PeruvianHighlandWoolYarn https://www.instagram.com/p/CKu0s3kDKUR/?igshid=1ayb4mcgmnuww
I have no idea what Valnar and Jace did, but Nerri looks furious. And Jace is Completely Unrepentant. Probably a prank. Definitely not a relationship issue. Nerri doesn't get angry at Valnar for that sort of thing. Nerri probably fell asleep somewhere awkward and Jace posted a picture of it. Valnar is the one who took the picture. #bjd #abjd #legitbjd #bjdphotography #bjdstagram #dollphotography #dollstagram #dollios #spiritdoll #dyedbjd https://www.instagram.com/p/CD9dWwlpfyg/?igshid=14gz296xo25tf
I gave my blue Ninon a gradient dye job. I barely finished one concept, but I really liked the look of these gradients and REALLY wanted to dye something. This is what happens, I cannot be stopped, help.Β

Dante was binned yet again. The last time I touched him was over a year ago. I love his character but the doll has always frustrated me. The sculpt was not quite what I expected. Even after some modding and a dye job I still couldnβt connect.
I picked him out of the bin due to boredom and the fact that Rynn and I are having a disagreement about her paint job.
He has a wonderful face up, one that Iβm actually kinda proud of.
Hereβs the only photo of him from a year ago. I was convinced I was over him and deleted everything.
Not gonna lie, Iβve been kinda craving a dark skinned elf man, so letβs give this mod a shot.
I used Milliput Suoerfine for this task. I didnβt bother trying to tint because I was going to blend with the airbrush. (Spoiler alert, his tone was SO FN HARD TO MATCH. I wasted so much paint.)
I mostly used a cheap synthetic brush to push and shape the ears. An abundant amount of water helped blend the ears down, but also created a mess that required careful cleaning. The amount of qtips and precision qtips I went through was almost sinful.
The ears did clean up nicely. I was pleased with the amount of blending and smoothness I achieved with the brush.
As I said before, the skin tone match was a nightmare. Dante had a warm tone with hints of mahogany/warm orange? Itβs definitely lovely to stare at.
Iβm not very good with colors, Iβve always struggled with them. Iβm thankful for google and other people who are adept in color theory because it definitely helped.
Okay, okay, maybe a slight shade off, but Iβll take it! (I had to edit out boobs, sorry.) I was also playing with iridescent cling film because I can never do one thing at a time and now everything has to be iridescent.
This ear did not blend as well as the other, which I only noticed after the paint but I had to work fast because the apoxie was setting up. I am certainly not going to fuss over it right now because this project was difficult as is. My hands wouldnβt cooperate, the sheer amount of paint, stabbing myself (again,) and the fact that the pot of paint I was using literally flew out of my hand and somehow missed everything but me. I discovered brown paint on my chest and I have no idea how it got there since I was wearing a full tee.
I think Dante is back. Heβs stolen Nightβs body temporarily just so I can look at him for the evening. π
He will certainly need a little beefier of a body in the future, not Ringdoll chonk but like, maybe DF-H 68 or something like what Kit has.
Did a little shell shuffling today, so an abandoned characterβs old body went to Night.
Obviously there were differences.
So I decided to tackle another dye job. His head cap didnβt take for shit but the actual face is almost perfect. I can touch up the small spots that didnβt take but overall I am happy with how he turned out.
