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.

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.
