I’m never ever going to get tired of looking at this doll. I did get new eyes with smaller irises because even though the eyes Marina Bychkova (the artist who creates Enchanted Dolls) picked out for her dolls mimic the large painted eyes she does on her porcelains, I felt like unless the doll was being photographed under studio lights the large irises could sometimes make the eye sockets look very dark.

Made a new spell doll today. This is Dream Eater, he eats bad dreams and whispers good ones in your ear while you sleep. His stomach is an empty sealed jar where he traps the dreams to digest them, and the crystal on his third eye is a chunk of bornite.

tell the world I'm coming home

one of the dolls I saved after the fire was my resin Enchanted Doll, Maryse. before everything, she looked like this:

(this dress was lost, unfortunately)

when I took her out of my destroyed bedroom, she looked like this:

A very, very kind stranger from the BJD forums reached out to me- having restored her own dolls after a fire, she offered to do the same for mine, free of charge. She put weeks of painstaking work into my doll, asking nothing in return, and I am eternally grateful

and today, my phoenix girl came home from the faceup artist.

to say that I'm blown away would be an understatement. she looks so gorgeous that I can hardly believe it. you'd never know she had been in a fire, which makes me tear up a little (pardon the not-quite-finished outfit; I just didn't want her to be nude). yes, she's just a doll, but when you lose so much, having something come back to you can mean the world

it's been a long road, Maryse. here's to happier adventures together

a close-up of the doll from this tarot collage | i put a porcelain enchanted doll head (made by marina bychkova) on a vintage pierrot doll body. i chose that enchanted doll specifically for the golden henin it's wearing (which, admittedly, reminds me of jewel-encrusted dunce cap). and i also added a simone rocha rose pink ribbon bow earring to its collar for good measure<3

Im probably the only one who would want this- but I'd be okay with a live action* Ever After High

I recently managed to pick up Marina Bychkova’s Enchanted Doll photo book for a good price and highly recommend it if you are a fan of her gorgeous porcelain dolls:

My beautiful resin Enchanted Doll is wondering where her shoes are:

And admiring one of her gorgeous porcelain sisters:

And of course also just being very beautiful all day:

"Marzi, what actually IS Enchanted Doll, though?"

for me, it's this little fake person who lives in my house:

this is Maryse. everybody say "hi, Maryse!" she was made some time in the early-mid 2010s as part of a limited blank, nude resin BJD line sculpted by artist Marina Bychkova (her face was most recently painted by the incredible Cat, "maybeawerewolf" on IG)

but Maryse has. much more famous porcelain sisters. and they look like this:

any gems or precious metals you see up there are real. for reference. this woman is not just a doll artist, but a seamstress and jeweler Par Excellence in the bargain

costumed porcelain Enchanted Dolls are the shining stars of the art doll world: dazzling and unreachable for all but a lucky (and usually deep-pocketed) few. the blank resin ones are rare enough to find secondhand- they're not being made anymore -but the porcelain are like..."if I marry a multimillionaire, may she propose to me with a porcelain Enchanted Doll holding a ring from a crackerjack box" status

the eye candy is real

Saw this post by @tomatoland (thank you, lovely) on how Force gives signals to Book whenever they kiss so he will remember how to take a breath.

This reminded me of the iconic AkkTheo balcony kiss from Enchanté Notice how Force subtly moved his fingers. I zoomed it in if you cannot see it.

Then we have TopMew kitchen make-out in Only Friends.

Same story, folks. Force really gives a signal to Bookie by tapping the back of his neck.

The previous observation made me look carefully at the OurSkyy 2 X ABAAB episode 2 4/4, and look at what I found.

In case you missed it, Book looked breathless after the kiss.

This led me to rewind the specific part of the EP and violá!

Gun's hand moved to the back of Cher's neck sometime during the kiss. Who knows if he made the signal because it is followed up by a close-up shot.

Anyway, these are some of the things that I liked about ForceBook--their chemistry, as well as the level of trust and care they have for each other.
