Ball Jointed Doll Thread? I wanna see your BJDS!

[NoDivision]

Thanks Zenna ^_^ I can't quite decide if the pink one is right. I love the color, but I wish it were a little less floofy. We'll see!

I kind of like it floofy. She looks so robotic, it looks like it's full of electricity!

We went to Uncanny Dreams yesterday and my dolls tried the circus rides!

Hannalitem! Your dolls look amazing! Such a cute photo. And NoDivision, I really LOVE the pink wig. The purple one looked great but that pink one is so full of character. That is one amazing looking doll

Ok so I attempted my first face up. I went with an edgier look. I definitely need to keep practicing, but I am pretty happy with it for a first try. I could not, however, get the lashes I got for her in...like at all. Anyone else have any tips for attaching eyelashes to bjds???

Tara, I copied this from DDE who have some nice tips on their page....

(You need) Just a couple of basic things….

    A pair of eye lashes
    White glue (like Aileen’s Quick Grab, or Elmer’s)
    “Goo Gone” or acetone, etc. to remove the adhesive that is on all lashes
    Toothpicks

 
How to….


CHANGE EYE LASHES:    First thing to do is remove the lashes from the white plastic holder they come on.  Next pour a little “Goo Gone” into a small glass dish and soak the lashes.  While the lashes are soaking, remove the head cap and remove the eyes from the doll.  If there are old lashes you are replacing…. obviously remove them.

After maybe 5 minutes or so, remove one lash strip from the soaking solution and rub along the adhesive line, removing the gummy gunk along the strip.  When both lashes are “all clean”, put them on a paper towel to dry.  Measure the lashes with the eye opening and determine if the lash will need to be trimmed.
Squirt out a bit of glue onto a piece of paper.  With your toothpick, apply a little glue to the upper lid line…it doesn’t take much.  With your fingers, apply the lash to the upper lid.  With another clean toothpick, tamp it along the eye lid securing the lash strip to the glue.  Continue tamping until the lash is firmly attached.  I like to use a round orange stick to do this and roll it along that inside upper edge.  Do the other lash.  WAIT until the glue is completely dry before putting the eyes back in.  It’s not a bad idea to wait overnight.
