I sculpted her using some Air-dry clay, and the first mistake I made with this project was starting with the head.. 😰 I wasn’t really paying attention when I was sculpting, and it turned out being ridiculously tiny.. I’ll try starting with sculpting the ball joints first from now on with any other BJD’s I’ll try making in the future.. 😅

But other than that, it was pretty fun! 🥰

I knew I wanted to paint her to look like my Pocket Dragons~ there were a few mistakes here and there.. I used an elastic thread from a sock I was throwing away, and ended up stringing her together too tightly, so she keeps curling up in a little ball. Her head doesn’t have enough of a pronounced curve to properly keep her wig on, so it’s basically just balancing on top her head. And i didn’t add enough roundness to the hands & feet joints, so they don’t really pose that well.. 😓

Oh, and her apron dress was made using an old shirt I had to get rid of because it had so many holes.. I reused the thread from the shirt too since it was already the perfect color! I also braided a couple strands of thread together to make the rope around the waist of the dress, and sewed that on with the same thread, it blends in perfectly with the braided rope so you can’t even see the stitches~ 😋
