My sister and I have started work on a book featuring photos of my BJDs in most of the Fantasy costumes I've made over the years. One of the biggest challenges is that my first BJD costumes were not photographed all that well back then, and since I originally started out making them for sale, they are all long gone and I can't take new photos of any of them. Except for one.
Elfdoll Ryung was my very first BJD, purchased from a friend in 2007. I was using her as a costume model those early years, and made her a gown out of a bright orange sari in 2011.

It never sold, so she has been wearing it ever since. My photography has improved a lot since those early days, and since I still had it, I could take some new photos of her in it for the book.

Anyways, this book is going to be a work in progress for quite a while as I have several costumes that I'd like to have featured in it, but I've not even started on them yet, and each one will likely take almost a month, maybe more, considering my lack of inspiration lately. I'd really like to include outfits for Elf Agnes, my new guy Matias, and some more from the Phantom. And there's a few other existing outfits which I would like to have photographed at our son's movie studio some time this fall, once they've settled into their new location.
So, the book is definitely going to be a lengthy work in progress. But as they say, it's good to have goals to work towards.
