I have a Big Dipper set on layaway and he/she should be paid off in March. ((thanks TwistedRiver for helping me order!)) I'm getting the default faceup/blushing... I don't have the skills to do my own and I'm too impatient to save up the funds to pay someone to do it. If I could, I would have had one painted like the default but in shades of purple instead... but the blue ones I've seen on google image search are gorgeous as well. I've been really paranoid about what the stringing/posing will be like when it arrives though... I'm rethinking my plans on getting it new eyes now after hearing how tricky it is to change them.I'm really enjoying seeing everyone's fantasy dolls. I love all the non-human ones... I wish the thread for them hadn't died.
I also love the animal dolls! I wish there was a larger following for them, as they are the BJDs I like most!
Wystearya: I have both Wendy and a Eudora! I haven't actually ever taken any photos of my Eudora, I've been waiting to buy some backdrops for that, but I'll snap an in house pic for you later! I love the resin quality. Beautifully smooth and the white skin takes colour so well. When the stringing is done correctly, Wendy's posing is amazing. DZ is known to do bum stringing, though. I was rreally lucky and got a really nicely strung one, but I have a friend whose Wendy was super kicky and couldn;t do anything with her at all and she had t retsring and even then had to suede and wire her. My Eudora's posing is a tad limited because of her engineering, and I expect BigD will be the same. The knees don't move inward so much, just a tad, but enough to strike a pose. The BigD's are known to be strung well, though. I don't think many have had problems with them? So, I think you should be good on that end. And if you're painting him yourself you'll have to restring anyway, so it's no big deal. I will warn you that the stringing is a bit more complicated for the BigD and Eudora types so pay attention when unstringing him. Their heads are really deep and narrow so hard to get the eyes in. Make sure you got a Q-tip on hand for eye positioning. UM, and I think that's it? But, yeah. I really love DZ's resin! It's hard to explain, but it's some of the nicest in my bunch. I even like it better than my Fairyland resin, the company everyone goes bonkers for, haha.

I have an otter, but I don't think she's really an animal BJD in this sense, lol. I would love to get one of the little dachshunds though. I have two weenies of my own and would love to get one for my dolls too.

She's pretty stinking adorable. She has a cute little magnet tail too! She's a Pet-Ari Dalsoo, made by Doll Factory. I actually got mine on eBay for $75 with her original box, pillow, and certificate, but she was a super lucky find. This is where you would find her brand new: http://www.edollfactory.com/shop/step1.php?number=601. They also have a freaking adorable little unicorn!
I've not done a faceup before, but I did a lot of research.I plan to use Testors Dullcoat as the sealant. I also plan to get some quality watercolor pencils. I keep reading tips and tutorials, I want to feel prepared! Thank you for the warning, I would hate to ruin an expensive item like this!-----------Your centaur looks awesome! What supplies did you use?
