Description Updated version: 

Many people asked if I would cast this doll. I haven't any intention to do that, but since many people asked, I sarted to think "well, why not?". She has easy pieces to mold, is very cute, easy to customize. There wasn't any reasons to not to do it. And I am working on two models to be cast in resin for almost two years now. I haven't experience with this kind of thing and I am sure many problems will appear in my way, so, better to face this problems with a doll I am working on for one month (18h so far) than in dolls I am working for two years (more than 100h). The rubber band on her head is to make the faceplate fixed on the place, since I removed the magnets for casting purposes. You can maybe not to see but I already made a lot of modifications on her to make her to pose better, to look better and to be more symmetric. 

So, meet Alexa! Yes, this is her name. It just popped into my mind and I like that. 
She will be sold initially in blank casts. She will have a cute box, a cushion like BJDs usually have, instructions and a pair of eyes.
The eyes will be handmade and look as these blue ones on the pictures. They will also be cast on resin. But I do want to glass eyes to fit on her as well, jut there is too much problem in this eyes for me because I need to import them, it takes ages to arrive, my country has gian fees, so, easier if I make them myself, and they look very good and I can make in any color I (or you) wish. Extra eyes will be charged. She will have magnets on the faceplate and two tail models (small and big).

She isn't completely ready so far. I will need to do some modifications and sand a bit here, a bit there. I am working hard to finish my last commission, so isn't so much time for her right now.

I hope you will like my first resin model as much as I will! <3

Wonderful design.  You have captured a sense of curiosity and playfulness.  If you start to sell these either as a kit or completed, I would be interested.  Thank you for sharing your art.

Wow, she's looking good! I hope the casting goes well for you and wish you the best of luck! I've fiddled around with a bit of mold-making and casting in resin, so I know how challenging it can be. xP

Thank you so much!
I hope to be lucky but I am predicting a lot of suffering with the resin xD
It is very challenging, I already used this before xD

I'm interested to see how they turn out.. I've been trying to wrap my head around casting BJDs and keeping several of the parts hollow.. I've heard straws used but I'm trying to figure out how the straws are used around the ball joint areas...

vonBorowsky In reply to DreamCrystalArt [2014-09-17 21:18:58 +0000 UTC]

I think you can just make the holes after the casting

DreamCrystalArt In reply to vonBorowsky [2014-09-17 21:43:20 +0000 UTC]

well yeah but I mean being able to set a straw in the part of the limb that has the ball joint without the resin leaking in... plus it's a lot of drilling if you make it solid XD

vonBorowsky In reply to DreamCrystalArt [2014-09-17 23:06:28 +0000 UTC]

Yes, if you use some plastilina(play doh) to avoid the resin to leak inside the straws, I think you won't have problems with it.
I know, but the doll is too small for straws ><
