Ball Jointed Dolls

You slide open a hidden door behind the cabinet and find a miniature replica of the manor, with furniture ranging from 1/6 to 1/3 scale. Welcome to the dollhouse.

I've loved BJDs for years, and was finally able to create my own in early 2022 when I 3d printed Lark. My favorite part of the hobby is the creation: 3d modelling or modifying existing models, doing faceups, sewing clothes, etc. Although there are a toooon of sculpts out there that are beautiful and I really covet, I mostly own 3d printed dolls for financial reasons, and to challenge myself to learn how to make whatever I need. I've since slowed down in the hobby (due to the usual space/time/money constraints), but I still love looking at other people's creations and collections!

When I was active, I posted my dolls on instagram and carrd (which is no longer being updated).

Name: Lark
Pronouns: She/her
Date: April 5, 2022
Pronouns: She/her
Credits: Sculpt is Alternate Polaris Bjd by black.hole.entropy
Notes:
Lark is a human girl who wandered into a fairy realm. She loves fashion and dresses in a variety of styles. Her companion is a white rabbit.
This girl is my first doll- 1/3 3d printed (yes I know, she used a lot of resin) with no modifications to the sculpt. I learned a LOT making her and her wardrobe (How to string a doll! How to clean MSC off a window! How hand sewing doll clothes is a pain even if they're small!) I posted about her early creation/progress on this Den of Angels thread.

Name: Elsinore
Pronouns: She/her
Date: April 21, 2022
Pronouns: She/her
Credits: Sculpt is Alternate Polaris Bjd by black.hole.entropy. Horn is this model.
Notes:
Elsinore is an immortal unicorn. She's calm, mysterious, and is Lark's guide and big sister figure in the fairy realm. Her companion is a green dragon.
I went into Elsinore wanting to modify Polaris a bit after learning a lot from Lark. She's now 1/4 (lighter and easier posing), has purple skin whose color I mixed myself (and is way easier to photograph than white skin), slightly different expression, shorter proportions (shortened legs), has a unicorn horn, and a hole in her chest I stuck flowers and a 3d printed sword in sometimes for photoshoots. I am so delighted with how she came out!

Name: Trinity
Pronouns: She/her
Date: July 20, 2022
Pronouns: She/her
Credits: Wig is by Dollecette.
Notes:
Trinity is a mischevious and somewhat cranky imp who accompanies Lark on her journey. She was given Elsinore's sword to wield.
Trinity is the first doll I sculpted myself! She's 1/6 (with non-standard proportions hence the custom wig and homemade eyes), and was built around the fact that I 1) wanted a doll that could at least somewhat stand up, at the expense of posability and 2) wanted her to have four wings!

Name: Currently unnamed
Date: June 23, 2023
Credits: The Braq model on Thingiverse
Notes: Completely 3d printed and painted by me. This is actually the third time I attempted to print Braq- first in 2019 when I was super new to 3d printing and thought shrinking down a bjd model without widening it's strining channels was an idea that made sense, second in 2021-ish when I just lost steam since it has so many parts, and now finally a success!

Name: Currently unnamed
Date: December 26, 2023
Notes: My only purchased doll! She's from the Penny's Box "Dreamlike Tea Party" series, and is a doll I've wanted ever since I laid my eyes on her. I got two boxes (one for a friend) for Christmas, and we both got exactly the one we wanted :)
