The white lace ribbons are attached to the wings, and I simply tie them to his shoulders. Wish is about 60cm (2ft) tall. You can see the joints in his elbows. If you look closely, you can see the thick cord inside the joint. BJD dolls are strung this way inside their arms, legs and torso, so that they can be posed. When the cord loses its elasticity over time, the doll needs to be restrung with new cord.
Special Thanks: I want to thank everyone, for all your responses to my photo yesterday, for your thoughts, sympathy and condolence messages. I found comfort in your kind words. Thank you, thank you so much. I am grateful. Again, thank you.
As a child of four I was pushed to be an angel in the Christmas pantomime at the Church. The hazard of being blonde. I didn't want to so said I couldn't because I had been bad. The deacon very cleverly told me that Gabriel and Michael were fallen angels so it would be alright for me to be an angel. BJD looks very innocent?
Thank you, everyone, for taking the time to stop by and leave a comment! I read all of your feedback and I appreciate it very much. Again, thank you!
@karenann: The sunlight simply comes in through the glass window on the left! Can't claim any credit for it. I don't know a thing about controlling the lighting. In that way, I can't take photos on rainy or cloudy days when the light isn't strong enough. My camera is very picky about light. The color has been tweaked in Paint Shop Pro to look a little warmer. (I like the simple Flood Fill tool.) Thank you so much for taking the time!
@peterdegraaff: Cool story! The deacon sure is clever. Heh. Most BJDs look pretty first, innocent second. But, because BJDs are customizable (you can sand the head, eye holes, etc to change the contours and shapes and even add tattoos or piercings and you can paint and re-paint the face to your heart's content), there are lots of BJDs out there with anything-but-innocent looks. One is only limited by one's skills and imagination.
Again, I thank everyone for visiting! I am grateful for your supportive words. Thank you!
The exquisite detail with which the dolls are made amaze me. I looked them up and they quite expensive but I can understand why. You pictures of them are perfectly lighted and so lifelike.
I'll missyour BJD's boy the most..I know I know I haven't been around too much especially lately but needless to say I'll miss all of your fantastic work if you decide not to continue after you reach 365..
