Imomo Doll 1/6 size 28cm MJD Chubby Body, Golden Dawn

The best part about making my own dolls is that I can have exactly the doll that I want: height, build, face, fantasy, color.

The worst part about making my own dolls is that I have to make them.

[pinkplantmakesstuff]

Two of the hand-sewn hats I've made (Yosd 1/6 sized!) Featuring ribbons, little charms, hand embroidery and fancy linings!

It's all done by hand too which is why they take a while, I don't feel like I have enough finesse on the sewing machine for my doll stuff >.<

This past Juneteenth I took the time to pay respect to Black women in particular. Felt right considering Black women have personally impacted me in my own life and has given my existence lasting meaning in more than one way. I felt dolls would do the trick.❤️🥰

This little lady is an “Orange Tea Dolls - Pollet” in this lovely dark chocolate color. The doll herself matters just as much as my gratitude to Black women. Her name is Hershey. She’s been with me for about five years now, her birthday (arrival) is 12/24/2019, I’m always so charmed on Christmas Eve when I remember how amazed I was when taking her out of her box.

This doll came from a wonderful doll collector as I bought her secondhand, something about the previous collector still sits with her despite her having had a new faceup during her years home with me. Beyond these feelings from her previous owner I also feel this strong, resilient vibe from her. Shes content on being alive and well. I feel these are also traits the Black women in my own family and life possess.

Hershey is one of my favorite YoSD, which is saying something considering my favorite size of BJD would be the adorable YoSD size and I own quite the little collection of them. She stands out.

I also did some repainting on the wonderful Juneteenth holiday. I’ll save that for another entry. We gotta talk about Miss thang lol 😂

Fixed! @oak23 Thank you for saying it's how He-man figures are repaired; when I looked that up the tutorial gave the exact screw part size and number and it worked perfectly for this. Threaded some small flat elastic through the body (NOT EASY!) and through the eye screw, then tied it as tight as I could. She has good articulation though I'm not sure how well it matches the original ball; perhaps rather better in some directions.

Some yosd sized shoes fit over her sculpted shoes, as well as *le gasp* Glitter Girls skates!!!

And she is very much a head accessories kind of doll. Er, figure. Whatever. I don't know why I accumulate so many dolls without hair but here we are.

I am weak.

I am so fucking weak.

But her smile was so captivating. And I think she'll make a nice sister to my Mei Mei (Yoon)...

I don't know yet what I think about the new body. I know a lot of people will like it because it now has double jointed knees and an extra joint in the torso.

I'm personally a bit skeptical, because to me, Youpladolls always meant stability over anything else.

I still think the old body (left) was her most stable one, even though the hips didn't give that much movement and made finding clothes a bit difficult.

I still miss the wide hips in the second body, even though it was easier to get her into minifee pants, and the double balljoint made posing her legs a lot more versatile. (I still think that it came with the price of less stability, because the joints gave a lot of extra movement.)

The new hip joint seems more stable again, but it also has this pull-out-thigh joint that I hate (because I never use it because it is usually not usable when the doll wears pants, which mine more often than not do). The knee joint is doublejointed now (looks like a peanut similar to Luts and the likes), so more movement there, but we will see about stability. The old knee had some hinges to snap into. We will see about this one.

Lastly... hng. I'm not thrilled about the magnetic feet. If you know me, you know how much I hate them, because the feet get stuck inside shoes all the time. Like... I don't think I have a single pair of mnf feet that has no scratches because of me having to pry them out of shoes with pliers. I actually talked about this with Marie and she said she was thinking of doing what other companies do sometimes (like DFH and Charmdoll), where the hook can rest in the resin to change the feet, but the ankle was too thin to actually implement it. Sad.

She did change the foot size a bit, they're now more in size with Minifee (5cm long), which should make finding shoes easier at least! (Until now, the feet were smaller, so I usually went for YoSD sized shoes for them, but sometimes the feet were too wide for those, so... it was hit or miss).

Anyway.

I'm a Youpla Addict, what else can I say.

Double Box Opening - Gem of Doll Body & DollyZone Body

Here they are, it was a bit hard to get hold of the parcels as my street isn't reachable rn due a construction site and I had to reroute the parcel to my coworker as FedEx failed to deliver yesterday.

But she brought the parcels with her today and I was able to unbox and turn Kanda and Maple into full dolls.

Finally. Kanda's head arrived in December 2022... it was about time. But the body is really wonderful, I only knew the YoSD bodies from Gem of Doll but the MSD body seems to be equally sturdy and I like the scales of the dolls next to each other.

The DollyZone is just so adorable. I will need some research to figure out what kind of shoes she can wear (my guess would be Blythe sized?), we will see =)

Both need clothes sewn. Kanda has.. boots at least.

I recently repainted my sweet little Itsy Betsy as she’d badly damaged her last Faceup by leaping off the shelf in my doll cabinet, trying to take dolls with her. Fortunately no other doll got damaged, and it was the perfect excuse to finally repaint her as I hated the last Faceup I put on her.

I’m really happy with the changes I made this time around in painting her. She’d been based on a peacock jumping spider, so her old Faceup was really dramatic, but it didn’t suit her. Not only did I soften her look, but I put the extra painted eyes along her cheekbones, which gave me room to put eyebrows on her.

Quick before and after of her. It’s funny to me how much her body’s mellowed, she needs a good cleaning to match her head again!

The what is what:

Sculpt: Doll Chateau Elizabeth on the Spider body in grey skin

Eyes: Ashuradark on Etsy

Wig: Unknown

Dress: YoSD sized 1/6 dress by Frezje on Etsy

Faceup: Me over at @izasfaceups

[shecowbjdcreations]

They fit YoSD sized clothes and shoes.

I have a character I wanna shell with a doll, but I don’t know how to find the perfect size to be able to carry it around easily in my hands or a bag, and also easily be able to customize it into the character of my dreams.

How do you people get so many dolls and know what to do with them, I can’t even buy a first doll because I don’t know how tiny I should buy…!

I envy you all, in a good way, I aspire to be less indecisive!

Hello, everyone! I'm happy be opening US based dye commissions! Currently, I will only be accepting commissions from within the US, due to the cost of international shipping. (Canada may DM but costs can still be quite high)

About me: I have been dyeing dolls for around 5 years now. It's an enjoyable part of the hobby for me, and as someone who is unable to work, I hope it can be a source of some income.

I exclusively use Rit Dyemore. Turn around time is 1-2 months. 3 slots available. You may claim multiple slots.

Slot 1:

Slot 2:

Slot 3:

At this time I will not be mixing custom colors. This takes more time and trials and I cannot guarantee I will get what you want. You may request a mix I have done for myself previously. *Exact color match is not guaranteed.* Rit Dyemore offers a wide range of colors and I am happy to use any of them straight. I can get a light or deep color with most of them. *Note: I may add a small amount of another color if toning is needed. Ex. Graphite must be toned with blue or purple to get a more pure black. Otherwise it will only look very very dark brown.

Prices for full dolls, one solid color start at:

Yosd/tinies: $50

Msd: $60

Sd: $75

I am no longer accepting dolls over 62cm! I have a hard time fitting them in my pot.

Parts, one color:

Hands/feet only all sizes: $20

Head only: $30

Legs/arms (including hands/feet) only: $40

Torso: $40

For fantasy dolls and parts (mermaids, centaurs, etc.) please message me as prices may vary by complexity and i need to be sure all parts will fit in my pot.

Extras:

Additional color (only 1 additional color): $10 (ex. An msd: torso, head, arms-blue, lower half-pink. This would be $70 rather than $60)

Restringing: $15 for fantasy dolls. $10 for everything else.

*if you choose restringing you must send your doll in a large enough box. If the box is not large enough (i.e. doll was sent unstrung in a smaller box but you want it returned strung) you will be charged for additional packing materials. Cost may vary and will be added to your return shipping invoice.

Body shimmer: $10 all sizes. Your doll will be covered in a resin-safe liquid sealant that has been mixed with shimmer color of your choice. All shimmers have a duochrome shift. Message me for available colors. *chipping or rubbing off of sealant will occur over time in the joint areas and may rub off with a lot of handling*

I do not offer body blushing or tattoos.

Payment is due upon my acceptance of your commission and you have read and signed the google form containing my terms and conditions. I will send a link to the form when we have agreed on your service. Failure to properly sign will result in rejection of your commision.

Customers are responsible for shipping both ways. When you ship your doll to me, please send me a picture of the receipt so i can charge the same amount on your return shipping invoice. *I highly recommend getting insurance. IF YOU DID NOT BUY INSURANCE TO SEND TO ME, I WILL NOT BUY INSURANCE TO SEND IT BACK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR UNINSURED PACKAGES. If you did purchase insurance, please tell me the amount.

Return shipping will be charged when the dye job is complete. *I will not ship your doll until the shipping has been paid*

Please send your doll to me completely blank with no sealant residue. *sealant residue will result in blotchy dye. However, if you are going for a vitiligo effect this will achieve it in most cases. The residue will dye darker and then when it gets cleaned off the resin underneath will be significantly lighter and in some cases, undyed. **Let me know if you have purposely left sealant residue. Results of this process will vary.**

Dolls will be wiped with 99% alcohol and rinsed in water prior to dye jobs.

Companies that i have experience dyeing:

The best: Dollzone, Little Monica, Migidoll, Luts (consistently very even)

Very good: Akagi Doll (not perfect but just a bit uneven)

Decent: Dream of Doll, Dividing Line/Fenjiexian, Xagadoll, Resinsoul (some unevenness)

Not great: Doll Family-A and H (very noticably uneven), Shoushou Doll (however others have had good experiences so i'm willing to try again)

Absolutely not: Loongsoul, Unoa (extremely uneven. I will NOT take commissions for these brands!)

Companies i do not personally have experience dyeing but others had good results:

Myou doll, Doll in Mind, Withdoll, Soom, Doll Chateau, Lillycat, Fairyland

The colours don't like as nice in these pictures as they do in person (Artificial light my enemy) but I'm proud of how these have all turned out, especially the silky pink floral one.

They are all yosd size apart from the bottom left black one, that's msd size! I'll be listing these on etsy at some point, I'm making a mixture of fancy decorated ones and simple plain ones like the one in the middle ✌️ They just take several days to make because it's all handsewn 😅
