1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.
    Dismiss Notice
  2. Dollshe Craft and all dolls created by Dollshe, including any dolls created under his new or future companies, including Club Coco BJD are now banned from Den of Angels. Dollshe and the sculptor may not advertise his products on this forum. Sales may not be discussed, no news threads may be posted regarding new releases. This ban does not impact any dolls by Dollshe ordered by November 8, 2023. Any dolls ordered after November 8, 2023, regardless of the date the sculpt was released, are banned from this forum as are any dolls released under his new or future companies including but not limited to Club Coco BJD. This ban does not apply to other company dolls cast by Dollshe as part of a casting agreement between him and the actual sculpt or company and those dolls may still be discussed on the forum.

      Theme: Dollpocalypse - The Resining

      Our theme this year is Dollpocalypse - The Resining, celebrating all things post apocalyptic. Perhaps your idea of the dollpocalypse is filled with angels and demons fighting for control of Earth. Or maybe it is filled with zombies searching for resin brains. Maybe it is kit bashed cars in epic chases fighting for fuel and water. Or perhaps it is robots and cyborgs dominating humanity, or maybe just cleaning up after us. Whichever way the dollpocalypse goes, be ready to show us your best interpretations.

      We will be hosting contests based off of our theme, as well as have photo opportunities on theme (and some more vanilla sets with everyday themes). While our theme is quite gritty and unusual, we are asking that attendees please limit the amount of gore, burns, blood, and other visually disturbing modifications on dolls in public areas including the atrium, as well as the main hall, vendor area, and panels. There will be a very special Gore Parade panel to display anything and everything that pushes the envelope.

      Vendor registration is now open on the website. Space is limited, please register early to secure your booth.

The panel will be two parts over the course of two days and may require sign up in advance and an extra fee. (Signups will be prioritized to pre-registered members first.) Part One will include making a hard cap wig base. Then Part Two on Sunday, she will be presenting her techniques for making wigs from start to finish. The most important part of wig making the finishing, so we will be using faux fur for the sake of cost and speed of use. That way those in the panel can reach the best part and get hands on instruction and tips that will matter the most.

      TomB will be sharing his Photoshop magic, from some basics to compositing multiple photos to create a scene. He’s shared some of his expertise here on DOA and has an interactive thread here. It is well worth checking out, and giving a go. The in person panel will go over many details on a large screen so you can see the process from start to finish.

      @stuffmikeclicked has offered to do a panel on crafting well composed photos to work in a photostory, both with and without words. Then showing how to add words and make a photostory flow with basic tools. He also is considering doing a panel on cellphone doll photography in particular. You can see some of his cellphone work, including some rather harsh conditions that he worked around, as well as some of his favorite BJD shots here.

      @funnylori will be doing a panel on line work in faceups using paint and a paint brush. Those pesky eyelashes and eyebrow hairs seem to be the nemesis of many, and I hope my tips will help folks out. I’ll be providing paint, but brushes will be limited. You’re welcome to bring your own brushes and heads to practice on. I highly prefer the Kafka 5/0 scriptliner available from Blick.

      @glyndarling has prepared a brilliant tooth modification panel, showing step by step how she carves out the inside of a head and creates a removable tooth part that is inserted to bring incredible dimension and change to a sculpt. Her panel will cover tools, materials, and the process in explicit detail. If there is additional interest, she may also cover eye closing additive modifications. Please let her know if this is something you would like to see!


      In addition to panels and formal contests, there will be some fun games and challenges folks can participate in. We are organizing a dolly speed couture contest where entrants will create an outfit based on materials provided for the challenge in a limited amount of time. The contest will may be judged by committee and prizes may be awarded. Some more details will be coming soon, but part of the challenge is in the not knowing, much like Chopped.

      There will also be a headband decoration station with ribbons and accessories. It will most likely be available all day for people to come and go as they please. At the same time, hot glue guns will be available and those that would like to try their hand and sueding their dolls are invited to do so.

      Some of our planned panels will have limited space, require assembly materials, or the like. As such, those who have preregistered for two or three day passes (as of March) for Resin Rose BJD Expo, will be receiving early sign-up emails for panels! This gives us an opportunity to move the schedule around to ensure that those panels with the most interest are placed in the largest classroom or that we have enough materials to go around.
       
    15. We are actively looking for people interested in hosting panels. With three classrooms at our disposal Saturday and Sunday, which can seat between 20 and 45 people each, there's still plenty of room to share your expertise, sense of humor, or to arrange a meetup.

      Have an idea? Want to host?
      We'd love to hear from you! What kind of panels are you interested in? Would you like to host a panel? If so, please contact the Resin Rose BJD Expo directly at [email protected] with your proposal by February 28th. We are offering discounted table and pass rates as well as an exclusive goody bag to panelists as well as some other perks that are in the works. In your proposal include how many people you could host (two of our classrooms fit 20 people and the other fits 45 people), whether you would need advance sign ups or to charge for additional materials, what those materials would be and if you would be providing them (such as a doll sewing panel where dress fabric is provided by you, or where everybody would need to bring a pair of scissors), and whether or not you'd need any AV equipment such as a projector for a slideshow.

      Want to host but can't afford to come?
      If it is a hardship to purchase the discounted pass rate, we have two paid for badges that have been graciously donated to us that we would love to pass on to a panelist who would not otherwise be able to come. Please send [email protected]a message with your panel proposal (or proposals if you would like to host more than one) and let us know a little about yourself. Please note, that we cannot compensate for travel, food, or lodging expenses; however the badges are full weekend passes that include the Friday banquet dinner and all the other pre-registration perks. Please send in the proposals by February 28th so that we can respond by March 1st with our decision.

      Suggestions we've gotten so far and what we're looking for:

      Some panels that have already been suggested include alpaca processing (and fiber comparisons), as well as sock couture. Both are great ideas, but we need people willing to host them.

      Other panels we'd love to see are sewing and pattern making tips for dolls, prop and set building, doll maintenance and body blushing, and how to save up and budget for dolls. Even games like bjd themed bingo, or a dolly crack hour where we can all titter together about optional parts and various doll endowments may be a welcome diversion.

      Airbrushing:
      If there is a lot of interest in an airbrushing panel, I am open to bringing my airbrushing equipment and showing how my setup works. Including what is needed to get started, and how to consider bringing multi-taskers into the equipment you buy. My compressor is compatible with most homemade resin casting chambers, can also multi-task to fill car tires and basketballs, as well as run light duty air tools. Not everybody needs to buy the expensive mini airbrushing only compressors. There would be an interactive chance for everyone to try their hand at airbrushing. Since this is a lot of equipment to haul around and would require some special considerations (noise especially) I need to get an idea ahead of time of the interest in this sort of panel. Please feel free to PM me or post here if that is something you'd like to see. I'd need at least 10 people to sign up in advance before I can commit to this panel. (There would be no extra charge to attend.)
