I'm kwm and I am interested in articulated dolls.
I am currently making a 60 cm ball jointed doll.
However, I also have two Barbie dolls, three Liv dolls, and a Mary Poppins doll.

Hello! Welcome!
A hobby isn't supposed to leave you wistful, regretful and vaguely disappointed. BJD collecting is as customizable as the dolls themselves. Do whatever pleases you the most, because otherwise, why do it at all? All for the 'Gram Bitches love the 'Gram.

If you need a file-hosting site, www.photobucket.com or www.flickr.com both work great. I prefer flickr myself, but it's a little bit more complicated to navigate then photobucket.

Thank you for your kind words. I cannot sculpt very well either.
But I try my best, and it is in trying that I achieve some success. :)

With my BJD, I am loosely following Martha Armstrong-Hand's method,
from her book, Learning To Be A Doll Artist. I am doing some things
differently. For example, my final casting will not be using porcelain slip,
but doll composition slip, which does not require an electric kiln to cure.
I can cure the doll composition slip castings in the kitchen oven at a low temperature.
