Welcome back!!!!!!!

You should give doll making a go! I have a bit if a "how to" of sorts on my dolls website (http://www.vivcore.com/dolly_daydream.html)which might be helpful?

I might just buy one myself, I stopped by the craft store last evening, and it's going to cost me more to make one than to buy a really cheap base and put it together myself...

I think VOLKS sells bases, I know they sell hair and eyes and such.

I looked on their site, and cheap bases are only about $18.00

Check it out here if you'd like. (http://www.volksusa.com/2227be0004.html)

If worst comes to worst, I can do my own makeup and such.

:D

It cost me quite a lot to make my first doll, but after that once you have the molds they become pretty cheap. If you don't cast them in resin then they aren't so much to make.

The Dolfies are cool though, they aren't as big as the resin ball jointed dolls, and made from vinyl, kinda like a Barbie thats super poseable! (Most people are talking about the Super dolfies when they go on about dolfies, I learned that fairly recently!)

There's a new company too that do relatively cheap BJDs called Bobobie (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bobobie.com%2F&ei=g3RARruNEqWagwSWirWQAw&usg=AFrqEzeZstWbtqP9VkiKO1yWoE30cXVC4A&sig2=PyO4PouhvYffabiQcu06EQ) they seem to be about $128 for a full doll on the smaller 18" size, which is a lot less then the usual $230-$350 price. I've also heard the dolls are pretty good. So it might be something worth looking into?

Anh, I'm not looking much into size, I actually want it kind of small and durable so I can take it with me to California when I go to the boutique.

:D

I don't quite have a job yet, I've been looking into getting one soon so I can start a monthly budget for things I want and things I need to save for like a Moped and the big things. >>;;

Anyways.

I'm working on it.
xD

My parents say if I get good grades next year, they wouldn't mind getting me a super expensive one. xP But I'll definitly look into the site you reccomended.
