The Journey: Entry #2

I was very happy and surprised to get an actually piece of mail from Denver doll! It was the invoice for them having ordered my doll!!! I'm super excited to know they ordered my apollo doll (helios) I cant wait to start on his toga, I also realized that I'm going to have to become awesome and learn how to make shoes... Challenge accepted. In other doll news Ill be ordering the wig and eyes soon thanks to my loving boyfriend (sucks up) who just LUVS (insert sarcasm here) the idea of me getting what amounts to a gigantic barbie doll, well ken really since its a boy. But he has his new 3ds so hes in a good mood.

And for your viewing pleasure a wonderful deviant artist has created a piece of Man candy for our eyes to feast upon. Behold an artist rendition of the Sun God Helios!

The Journey: Entry #1

Today marks day one in my journey into the wonderful world of ball jointed dolls or BJD. I ordered my very first doll through a import company called Denver doll, recommended to me by my best friend who ordered her first doll from them. I ordered a Bobobie Apollo with light tan or coffee colored skin; My doll's name will be Helios. I still gave yet to order his wig and eyes, which will be a glorious golden blond color and mesmerizing, emerald green eyes. Since it will take me 4 months to get him, I will be making a majority of his clothing, his first outfit will be that of a Toga, just because it's easy to make based on measurements with out having the doll in hand and I feel that a Toga is befitting of his Greek name. Now starts the wait... o_O ..... O_o ..... are we there yet? :)
