Greeting from Arkansas!

Hello, everyone. My name is IssaRissa, but y'all can just call me Issa. ^.^

Right now all I have as far as dolls go are a few porcelain dolls that have been with me for quite a few years.

I'm an aspiring BJD sculptor, later on I may post some pics of my first one. I'll be spending most of my time reading the sewing forum and looking at all the BJD pics I can find to try to figure out a good jointing system. I'm a little quiet, but I'm sure I'll have something to say every now and again. ^.^

Anyways, I just wanted to stop in and say hello Dollieh Sanctuary!! :D

Wonderful! Welcome! :D
I've really been hoping to connect with some people learning to make bjds. I'm more in to the sculpting aspect, not looking forward to playing with the joints as much, but it's a necessary evil hehe. I need someone in Maryland to work with!

I never really sculpted before I began. I made two little sculptures, then just decided I wanted to make a bjd. If you're on DoA too, you should check out this link.

A lot of really great how-to material there.

Yeah, their registrations are closed, I can't get in either, but I can get to that link without being a member. It's a list of links to different BJD making articles. Also, if you go to Twigling's website, you can get a PDF she made about joints. I think I've got a link to her site.... one sec...

Here it is! http://www.twigling.com/about/

^.^ Hope it helps.

Thank for the offer, but I actually meant The Joint! I am on DoA now. Though it took foreverrrrrr for them to approve my account.
