I have a Delilah Noir !

I was looking for gunky bundles and found a damaged 'bjd' instead. She was a mess.

So I have two projects for the weeks ahead :

Celia the BJD: sculpting in Milliput for neck and hips then sanding and testing wig ideas.

Delilah Noir: acetone goop repair for the ankle, making a head cap, removing the pink overpaint from the lips, possibly filling the mouth slightly with coats of black + acrylic matte. Delilah probably won't be staying, she's a fun project but I'd want to modify her significantly.

photos under cut:

Celia's wiring. I'm not touching the eye makeup until the last minute, it gives her a cheekiness that demands attention - I will get around to doing the work!

Delilah looked like she'd been splashed with coffee. Her wig was glued to the front and back of her head (no head cap) with non water-soluble (or alcohol for that matter) glue so I gently pried it off and soaked it before removing the glue with my finger nails strand by strand from the wig (acetone for the head).

Her putty was both hard and turning into dust while also oily and pretending to be soft which is a very odd textural sensation... and had cracked one of the eyes a little. I removed the eyelash and replaced it with acrylic matte sealant for glue (dries clear, no clumps, water-soluble) as well as repainting the chipped lower lash lines.

She had stains on her upper eyes at the nose bridge, the eyeliner doesn't quite fit the eye with pink parts showing - the lipstick also doesn't quite match the lip sculpt. It's taking me a while to remove the pink, I'm thinking it's maybe enamel paint

Please excuse the green putty - since fixed it. There's potential in that face, I like the heavy lidded teen goth y2k look but it's missing something beyond my skillsets.

Welcome to Dexter Dolls! 💕

This little corner of our round world, is where I escape and enjoy my dolls.

I stumbled into this hobby by accident then leaped into the deep end with enthusiasm.

The "reborn" doll community has its issues. My dolls are not authentic. Thunder and Twila are Paradise Gallery dolls. Sadie is an Ashton Drake. Pod, Cyndi, and Ivan have had changes made by me, so they are "unique" but are still not considered "reborn" by most.

To me, they are my littles and as close to perfect as they can be. Each has a special place in my life and heart, and I hope to share that with you.

Come play with us
