ABOUT THE BOOK Dolls have a long history. Archaeologists have unearthed dolls with movable limbs that date back as early as 600BC, and have found early dolls from Egyptian grave sites dating back to 2000BC. Since that time, dolls have gone through major innovations to better resemble the people who play with or collect them. 1999 marked a new beginning in doll collecting when Japanese figurine manufacturer Volks introduced the Super Dollfie, the first modern Ball-Jointed Doll (BJD). With articulating ball joints and a solid resin casting, the BJD is a doll that looks, poses, and feels more intricate than the average Barbie doll. The BJD became a niche hit among anime fans, Gothic Lolita fashion, still life photographers, and doll collectors interested in creating and customizing their own dolls. MEET THE AUTHOR With a BS in Business Administration, Tom Tonthat has written anime reviews for "The Escapist," video game and television articles for Yahoo!, and the occasional instructional manual. He loves anime, origami, toys, films, television, and comics. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK The titular ball joints in a Ball-Jointed Doll are the source of the BJD’s articulation. The ball-joints are located in the doll’s neck, abdomen, shoulders, elbows, wrists, ankles, knees, and hips. The ball-joints allow for numerous articulation and posing possibilities that, at most times, are similar to human joint movement. The joints connect together through a thick elastic cord housed inside the BJD’s body. The elastic keeps the joints tight and holds the poses together. Volks was among the first to manufacture BJDs in three popular sizes scaled to human proportions. Other BJD manufacturers have crafted their dolls similar to Volks’ sizes to the point to the point of being standardized among the BJD community. Yet more doll companies may come up with their own designations to differentiate sizes between their doll lines. The largest BJDs average 60cm tall, are regarded as being 1⁄3 scale to humans, and are commonly noted as SD-sized (Super Dollfie). They tend to look like fully grown teenagers or adults. On the other end of the spectrum are 1⁄6 scale, 26cm BJDs that are commonly classified as Yo-SD sized with the “yo” being translated from the Japanese word “infant.” Buy a copy to keep reading!

If you are looking at this book, it is assumed you've been browsing photos of ball-jointed dolls (BJD) online and wondering why they look so...alive? It's actually not hard! One major contributor to the effect is the resin they are made of--half the job done. The other half is you and your tools. The process is called "face-up," like make-up, but instead of adding color to an already living face, we are adding the illusion of warmth and life to a resin sculpture. This book was written to help you get started. It begins with a good list of tools and mediums you will need to buy, accompanied by brief definitions and why they are used. Next we move on to basic color theory with a list of effects you can employ to your process. Then we dive into the work. Heck, I'll even show how to remove the doll's head and insert eyes to bring you up to speed. And there are over 100 photos and examples to help out! This book is written in the order a face-up usually happens, but this art is totally flexible, so you can mix and match effects as you see fit. I've scoured the net, asked questions, and compiled this information so you don't have to. As there is always more to learn, be on the lookout for future books covering the vast world of doll customization. If you are a total beginner in this hobby, you are in the right place!

More than mere playthings, Enchanted Dolls are elegantly sculpted and articulated works of art. Strikingly nude, engraved or adorned in opulent sculptural costumes of precious metals, gemstones and rare found objects, each doll intricately conveys an aspect of our humanity. As Marina says 'the reason I love making dolls is because it it's a multidisciplinary art form. To create a doll I get to do it all: sculpture, industrial design, painting, engraving, mold-making, drawing, metalwork, fashion and jewellery design. I want it all!'

The first of the modern Asian ball-jointed dolls hit the international market about ten years ago. Strongly influenced by the anime/manga culture, these dolls are made of high-quality polyurethane resin and strung with elastic cord to allow for posing of their intricately-jointed bodies. The dolls are often purchased blank, without eyes, hair, or face paint, allowing their owners to customize them into highly-unique pieces of art. Most of them are made in Japan, Korea, or China, and must be purchased through a buying service or broker. The largest forum dedicated to these dolls boasts a membership of nearly 20,000. This book is a series of photographs taken of dolls in the collection of Northern California artist Wendy Bailey, known as Cirquemom in the BJD community. Referred to by the artist as snapshots, the full-page, full-color photographs show the dolls in candid moments of daily life. This book is not a definitive tome on ball-jointed dolls nor their culture. The only writing in the book is a short introduction by the artist, who presents the photographs as simply a glimpse into the lives of these fascinating three-dimensional virtual life-forms.
