Меня звут Людмила. Я восхищаюсь Вашей работой! Вы тот мастер, который вселил в меня смелость сделать первую куклу BJD! Я изучаю все ваши уроки. Перечитываю по несколько раз, пытаюсь все это прокрутить в голове. И уже близка к тому, что бы начать делать куклу. Спасибо Вам за вдохновение и подробные инструкции. Но у меня возникли некоторые вопросы по сборке куклы на пружины. Могу ли я задавать их здесь или лучше написать на e-mail? Очень надеюсь на Ваш ответ. Спасибо!

It also may be just the way he is holding his head in the picture. In the picture of the real Putin his nose appears a lot narrower to me at the nostrils. I know you probably have more pictures that you are using than that one that give you a better look at him than I have, but I just thought I would tell you what I saw. So, is it just me or is it the picture that makes his nose look wrong. I really love this BJD and I agree I love the way that the BJ mechanics can make a sculpt change even when the face does not.

I would like to say you did inspire me to try my own hand at BJD making, and I'm hoping to be able to learn from my own mistakes/experiences as I attempt to try my own hand at this. BUT, I hope you continue to post more of your BJD journey because it's insightful and very well-written :3 Well even though you don’t intend it to function like a tutorial, it actually does fit the bill pretty well.

This is more an experiment. The spring idea was never materialized and the doll was put together with an elastic cord. Springs are too early to worry about, I decided, I still need to figure out the joints and the elastic cord is easier. Thank you again!

The only thing I'm having issues understanding is the link between the chest and the torso when using springs. Is there a separate connection point that is not shown, or does it attach to the doubled spring for the arms/shoulders?

I have been following along and trying to make one of my own and it has been challenging. One thing I found was balling the foil up made it very hard to remove from the cavity of the chest ,abdomen, and head parts, once they were cooked. I came up with an idea and made many tiny foil balls and wrapped them in a single foil packet to fill the hollow parts. When it came time to remove the foil, it was easier since the tiny individual foil balls spill out without as much fuss. This tutorial is a great inspiration and keep up the excellent work!

I truly enjoyed most of all your blogs/tutorials regarding your ball jointed dolls. Wonderful! It certainly has given many of us a different approach to creating our own BJDs with PC. I was wondering if you will ever show us any of your completed BJDs--painted, wigged and costumed? I don't know about others, but I suspect that most would absolutely love to see some of your finished BJDs. You are very talented! Thanks again so much for sharing with us all. You truly help us all to improve our own work. Blessings, Maggie Natasha,

I noticed that you were thinking of going to paper-clay for your next one. In my experience, it is lighter and certainly strong enough for smaller (17 inch and smaller) projects, but edges are weaker and tend to flake away sometimes. I have always had a lot of trouble making hands with it, but the larger portions don't give much cause for alarm. I use DAS or JOVI when I want something fast from a sculpt. I typically put everything into molds quickly though, so long term strength has never been a problem. Anyway, I just wanted to say that your progress is inspirational and each time I find myself lagging I just have to jump on here and look at your work in order to get back on task!

I had some, but they were too small and weak, so I did not reorder. Those were from China - not a good experience over all. So I am looking for another vendor. So not yet, I am afraid.

I am thinking about trying to create a BJD and wanted to know where can I locate the springs. I was hoping you were selling those, but unfortunately I could not locate them in your store. I got the elastic, but I thought the springs may be a better idea. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Hi Natasha, as always great work!

I do like the neck on the second doll much more - thank you for confirming my thoughts. Yes, the hollow is fragile. I am still tinkering with this one - will finish her for sure, but I am strongly considering paperclay for the next one, or even maybe magic sculpt. Thank you very much for watching - it is slow, I know :) Happy Holidays! Natasha Red October Hey, Charon, thank you, sweetheart, for your nice message.

Your work is wonderful. Both doll are great but I do like the neck on the second doll. Is the doll more fragile when the head and body are hollow? Can't wait to see what adventures you will have in the new year. Charon Natasha,

I started sculpting with polymer clay years ago I used to sell on ebay as Enchanted Bayou. My little fairy creations were called faebys. Well as life will sometimes do it got in the way and I quit sculpting about 6 years ago. The kids are now grown and moved out, and due to medical probalems I had to quit work. I decided to try the clay again. As luck would have it I live in Louisiana and due to the lovely weather we tend to have here (thank you Katrina and Rita) I lost all the little things I have collected over the years due to flooding. All my books, all my little "findings" and trimmings. All my supplies all my online refrences. I'm starting from nothing but a block of clay and a dream. (But didn't we all start that way???

I keep waiting for more! Last update was Feb. 16th? More, please... Also, have you considered putting magnets in the bottom of her feet? Then she can stand very firmly on a steel plate...even on one foot! This is how Obitsu does their dolls and it works wonderfully. I "think" about making a BJD from a pale blue polymer clay. I have only gotten as far as mixing a wad of clay to the color I want...then I think, "it is not enough"...so I continue mixing. Probably just an excuse to not start. Most of the BJDs I have are strung too tight and "spring back" from position..bummer. To me it looks like all you need is smoothing her out! Done. Natasha…you are fantastic. I keep waiting for more!

The wire stringing is possible and yes, I am thinking about it - for the next doll. It needs to be in combination with springs and needs to have horizontal wire bars in joints. I have a rather good idea of how to do it - well, they way I think it will work - theoretically at least. I will do it on the next one - because I see already that this one will be not the last one. Thank you for your kind word about the form - the progress is very slow - but I am pretty confident I will make her work. Need elastic to start working on the legs - big part of the legs work will involve the balancing act - once I get her to stand on her own and figure out the weight distribution and balance, I will start figuring out how to shape it so that the legs and the lower torso look pretty - in other words, mechanics first.

This year it has almost all gone south and east of us, doesn't happen often. Though, I do thank the east and south east coast for taking our normal years supply. We, only last week, got some measurable snow, but only about half of what then went on to the east and dumped more snow on the east coast. Have you thought about trying to use wire to "string"her with wire? Though I am not sure how that would work. I was thinking along the lines of the BJD artist that you mentioned in Part 1 who had inspired you to make your BJD. I had visited her site and read that she uses wire to "string" her BJD. I just wondered if you had thought about it or had asked her about it or anyone else for that matter. I can see how it might make the doll less likely to fall apart, but I don't know exactly how to go about wiring one together. I like the clean lines your BJD has. She doesn't have the awkward malformed looking elbows and knees that other BJD I have seen have. She has a very nice form. Pam Nat,

I use these as well. Like Patty mentioned, the black paint does come off of the handles and can get into your clay if you are not careful. Apparently it is a type of chemical reaction from the clay. A couple of remedies for this, one is like Patty described, to cover the handle in paint. The other is to paint the handle with a varnish and seal it so that it will not chip off. It is just a small set back to a really fabulous and indispensable tool. Excellent news! I use these as well.
