First Outing!

One of the things that attracted us to Ball Jointed Dolls was the bonding that comes with creating such a customized doll. Today my roommate and I took out our doll Siren (soom heliot) for his first official photography outing. It's amazing how you fall in love all over again with these dolls with every little thing you do with them.



Looking through the lense just reminded us of all the things we adore about this doll. BJD are not for everybody, it's an expensive hobby that can grow more expensive as time goes by (cost of face ups, clothings, accessories, and upgraded cameras) and can be very time consuming,not to mention, people who are understanding and supportive of the hobby are few and far between.



But if you're lucky enough to obtain one of these dolls, you might be one of the people that feel that your doll is something very close to your heart. It's something you've created from the bottom of your heart that can't be replaced by any Wal Mart Barbie. And this is what makes them worth every penny.

Today we drove our boy to Jordan River Parkway, where we found a most perfect landscape to put behind him, it was almost impossible to return home, and cease taking pictures. But with cameras dying and fingers freezing, we grudgingly leftwith what we think are very few, but also very beautiful pictures.

We intend to use ball jointed dolls as our artistic outlet. There are so many skills we could develop with our dolls, that we can actually have a lot of fun doing. Such as: photography, painting (face ups), sewing and designing, writing and character development ( background history), sculpting, ect.

This blog's purpose is to allow people to follow us throughout our ball jointed dall journeys :), as well as keeping a record for ourselves.



Between the two of us we are planning on having atleast 15 dolls (wow that's a lot... better get saving) So this blog will record the homecoming and makeovers of these dolls, and give those people who are not able to yet obtain one of these amazing dolls a chance to experience what it's like to try to fit a character from your heart into the perfect representation. We'll be recording the ups and the downs, such as: getting a doll and realizing it's not right for you, as well as finding something that makes the doll pop for you.




Until next time, we hope you enjoy this post.
