That's my babylove Valentine as a pretty doll :)

Making a BJD of him was a pipeline dream of mine for a few years until I got a push to actually do it! He's completed as of October 5th, 2023... But I'll still be getting him more cute little outfits as I go :)

MATERIALS:

• Mr. Super Clear (MSC) Matte sealant
• Chalk pastels, chalk pastel pencils
• Acrylic paint
• UV resin
• Air-dry clay
• Synthetic fabric dye
• Black cotton fabric & cord
• Various brushes, melamine sponges, isopropyl alcohol, various glues, etc.

PROCESS:

• He was sealed with MSC several times before and after body blushing.
• His body was shaded/blushed with pastels.
• His nails were painted with acrylic paint, and then covered with UV resin after sealing. He has a set with a pastel pink manicure, and a set with a hot pink manicure.
• His eye-socket was made with air-dry clay, painted with acrylic paint, and then covered with UV resin.
• His eye/mouth waterslide decals were bought off of Taobao. Shop link here.
• His face up was made with the waterslides, acrylic paint, and chalk pastels. I kept a little gap between the edge of the eye holes and the decals to make a more "anime" look.
• His wigs were dip-dyed with yellow synthetic fabric dye. They were styled with an amalgamation of hairspray, various types of glue, and many many thoughts and prayers. He has two-- one for his hair down, and one with a ponytail.
• His eyepatch was made with black cotton fabric & cord, and secures to the back of his headpiece.
• His signature cross necklace was made with polymer clay, attached to a ball chain with resin, and then coated with a Molotow Liquid Chrome marker for the silver effect.
