Building a versatile room for your bjd pictures.

I posted this in the Granado themed thread on Den of Angels, and I thought I’d add it here too for those who’d like an insight on how I built the “Treasure Room” for this year’s @doll-granado​ photo contest. Maybe those tricks can help you build your own bjd space for immersive photos: The room I built can be taken down to pieces; Most of it is made of cheap foamcore sheets. - So you have the walls, which are two separate pannels of 5 black foamcore sheets glued together with hot glue. In the photoshoot I simply covered them with fabric to simulate a tapestry. - Then I built two different set of shelves in black foamcore, (foamcore and hot glue are really easy to work with and aren’t expensive.) Those two pieces are the most difficult to store afterward, but depending on what you make as furniture, you can use them to store your own stuff - The practical part of using foamcore is that you can pin stuff in it. This is how I made those little picture frame stick to the wall, the mirror, the unicorn tapestry and the curtain. When you’re done with your shooting, or if you need the space, just unpin everything and put them away. So you have a base set made of foamcore, and by changing the fabric on the wall and the deco around it, you can morph it into many different room design. Now let’s add a Granado face to this post: Funny fact: The two artwork on the right are actual paintings that were stolen and NEVER RECOVERED to this date “Poppy Flowers” by Vincent van Gogh, and “The Concert” by Johannes Vermeer Guess who’s the guilty party? hehehe

Since July is the Disability Pride Month and the Barbie Movie Month, here's my collection of Barbie dolls with disabilities.

Mattel has been adding disability representation to their doll series since 2019. So far we've had at least 6 Barbie dolls in wheelchairs, along with 2 Kens and 2 Chelsea dolls (little kid sized dolls).

There are 4 Barbie dolls and 1 Ken with prosthetic legs.

There's a doll with hearing aids, and a doll with Down Syndrome designed in association with National Down Syndrome Society.

There are also dolls with conditions like Alopecia and Vitiglio.

Mostly they come out in the Fashionistas line, but sometimes they also crop up in other thematic series, like "You can be anything", and so we had a Para-alpine skiier and an Interior Designer with a prosthetic leg.

There's also a doll honoring Helen Keller from "the Inspiring Women" series.

And in the clips from the "Barbie" movie, you can spot a Barbie in the wheelchair dancing along with others at Barbie's party.

I used to play with these for hours! 💖😍 what were your favorite toys?💕

It's go time! The candy is ready to hand out to the trick-or-treaters, and Kenleigh is dressed in her costume to greet them. Yes, she's a ghost. 😁 She's also using the McDonald's McBuckets to hand the candy out... I think she's got enough for all the neighborhood kids and herself to last until Christmas. 😆 Buckets were 3D printed by my hubby, and I painted the faces/details. 🙂 Candy is from the Minis in Minis series, plus a few printouts.

to the doll customization community: any suggestions on how to get into doll customization?

what hair do you recommend for reroots? what is the best paint to use? what kind of finishing spray is the best?

i’ve been told that watercolor pencils are good for sketching out faces. eventually i would also like to get some kind of glittery powders to add some sparkle to some of my dolls skin. anything will be helpful!! 🧡
