*NOTICE* - By buying from me you are agreeing to my rules and regulations concerning payment, shipping, refunds and the like, so I would advise you read about these areas carefully and ask if you have any questions. *Payment and shipping Info* We take payment primarily by Paypal (balance or CC). If you do not have paypal, we will accept carefully concealed cash (but we are not responsible if this is lost in the mail) or a money order, but we'd rather not have to wait long to complete our transactions. Shipping will be via USPS first class mail, with upgrades where applicable, except for painted doll heads, which will be sent by owner's paid choice of shipping. Please contact us if you would like a specific service for shipping any item; a small extra charge may or may not be required. Basic shipping cost is included in ltd outfits (International orders add a little more). Unless there are specific circumstances, we ask for all payment in advance for starting commissions. Sorry if you're nervous, but past transactions have secured this policy as best for everyone. If you commission an outfit and cancel after we've already bought fabric and started work, we will retain a $5 cancellation fee, as well as reimbursement for the fabric, if we did not have it in stock. If you cancel after we've already finished the outfit (or are more than 50 percent done), we will retain 30% of the original payment upon refunding, so please make sure you are clear on what you want before buying it. Layaway might be an option for some higher-priced items (such as OOAK heads) and is decided on a case by case basis. With any layaway, the initial agreed-on deposit is non-refundable, and missing agreed-upon deadlines will result in monetary penalties. This is just a reminder, but we are not responsible for items that are lost in the mail. International items especially, sent by default airmail, are not findable in any way if they don't arrive. The postal service has had a good track record with me, but if you are nervous please specifically ask for whatever postal service you are comfortable with, and make absolutely sure your mailing information is correct. Either way, we'll do what we can to help but do not issue lost package refunds. *Trade List* There are some things (will update as needed) I am willing to accept in trade for faceup work or item discounts (value for value, but often in buyer's favor), but please don't ask me to trade for random things unless it's evident I may be interested according to this list. NO RECAST ITEMS please. Of course this is also technically a want-to-buy list. :P Etsy favorites: (Doll and non-doll stuff both are considerable!) *HIGH PRIORITY ITEMS* (REALLY looking for these.

FAQ What are these dolls? Where can I get one? Why are they so expensive? These are Asian ball-jointed dolls from various companies, mostly in Japan and Korea, made from special resins, sturdy, fully articulated, often self-standing and hand cast, and infinitely customizeable. I consider them works of art in and of themselves, and they are loved by people all over the world. The first company to make and market these was Volks in Japan, but since then others have come forward and offer a lot of different options and prices. However, most of these dolls are still pretty expensive, and I would reccommend you get one only if you are ready to accept that and have found one that is right for you. These are not regular fashion or antique dolls; they are not mass-produced; they are quite special. UPDATE: Nowadays many of these dolls from a number of the different bjd production companies have been illegally recast and sold at a lower price, without the original doll creators' consent. I absolutely do not endorse this practice and do not wish to work on recast dolls; please respect this. What are 'esthetics'? What's a 'faceup'? What are all these "types" and numbers (SD13, F-21, DES)? Are you spelling any of these words wrong? A faceup is the bjd community term for a painting or repainting job of a doll face, often coated with sealer and with added doll eyelashes, a cute take on make-up...^^;; 'Esthetics' appears to have become the accepted spelling of the word aesthetics as applied to bjd, and refers to painting, customization and general things that affect the look of one's doll. The numbers refer to specific types of dolls from different companies as their way of differentiating. SD10 and SD13 refer to the two types of standard bodies offered by Volks at this time; the 10 version looks younger and is an earlier version. DES (Luts Dark Elf Soo), MNF (Luts Mini Fee), etc. - Many standard company headmolds and body types get abbreviated to save time. Where are you selling all these outfits I'm missing?? We have been selling these outfits in the Den of Angels marketplace, but outfit sales will also be listed here from now on, and some omake/sale items and commission examples will probably be exclusive to the website. We can of course be contacted through both avenues for clothing and faceup commissions, though we prefer to handle as much business as possible through email. We may also occasionally sell things on ebay or other sites, and will post notice here when we do. *UPDATED*:Will you sew for smaller sized dolls/male dolls/specific girl doll/etc? For now, what we have to model is the CP/LUTS MATURE FEMALE DELF BODY (the girl body isn't much of a stretch, though), FAIRYLAND FEEPLE 70 GIRL body, FAIRYLAND MINI FEE A-LINE GIRL BODY (large and smaller bust sizes) and PIPOSDOLL BAHA (unisex) TAIL-LESS BODY. For different dolls we can make some allowances for fit, depending, but I can vouch that even with measurements, there's a fair chance that clothes made for a doll one doesn't have to model them may not fit, and we are not responsible for a perfect fit on a doll we don't have to model. We're hoping to welcome models of other types some time in the future, and we'll notify you if there are any new doll additions with different bodies (like boys, Super Gem or non-slender minis). Till then, there are a couple of things we can do for those sizes, but we're generally not accepting commissions for them. Changing or creating a new pattern for a different size doll on an existing outfit may carry an extra charge. How do commissions work? How much do they cost? What if I want something you've never made? Commissions work as follows: take a look around in our galleries, where you can see nearly everything unique we've made. Then just send me an email or PM, describing whatever you want from us. YES, we will attempt new things; I'll tell you if it's too involved or the materials aren't available, but we can do a lot more things than we've done as of yet, so don't be shy - it never hurts to ask. For things we've made before simple descriptions are fine (Is it possible to make X outfit, only in X fabric for the skirt and with a black top?). For things we haven't made before, more detail and possible photo/drawing references would be really helpful! I'll reply with a quote on the price (it varies WIDELY) and any questions we have. I also offer a quick sketch service for $5 per sketch, for people who want me to design something before buying, or who have an idea and want to see it sketched out. This is a separate service; buying the outfit is not required. Can you copy xxx outfit that you've sold before? Can you copy xxx outfit by someone else? Can you make an outfit you've sold already again, but in different colors/materials? Depending on what materials we have, we may be able to reproduce an LE outfit we've sold before. It will probably be easier and more interesting to request outfits in different materials, but we do have certain materials in large quantities; just ask. We will not reproduce a doll outfit from a company or another seller; please don't ask. But we can probably try to make a *similar* outfit, depending on what you want. We just don't want to steal anyone's work. Non doll outfit or costume references, though, for cosplay or a general reproduction, are all right. ^-^ Are any of your outfits OOAK? What if I don't want anyone else to be able to order something I ordered? What about faceups? Faceups are easy; even less 'unique' ones are pretty impossible for me to replicate exactly on another doll. Even if they weren't, I wouldn't do it, though people can ask for similar styles on things. For very distinct tattoos, customers can be confident there will be no absolute reproductions, even more so if it's the owner's design, though there may be future projects in the similar-but-not-same vein. Clothing-wise, we retain reproduction rights to everything we make, with a few exceptions. We won't reproduce a commission if it's the owner's original verbatim design and the owner requests it in advance for an additional charge (doesn't count if it's taken from a magazine, game, etc. or if I designed it in accordance with your general guidelines, sorry), but this only applies to quite distinct designs and we do retain the right to make similar stuff. Some of our high-end projects end up being OOAK because some part of it was problematic enough that we won't do it again :P and we prefer not to reproduce outfits inspired by companies in the exact same way requested by the first commissioner. Some examples of the outfits we can't reproduce exactly again for one reason or another: the original Dark Carnival (but you can see we've made variants), Marie Antoinette ice blue dress cosplay, Lavendar Tea Liz inspired outfit, Ebon Queen vampire gown set. We can make similar outfits, or perhaps change fabrics or pieces, etc., depending on the circumstances. Can I send you fabric to use in my commission? Generally, sure ^^ Just ask and we can discuss appropriate/useable fabrics, quantity, cost and subsequent discounts, or whether it's something we already have or can very easily source. This is a good way to ensure we're using the right stuff, but some textiles are not workable for us. Why don't you sell more separate pieces? We now have an in-progress separates section, for fast information access to some of our most-oft requested separates (if you want something else, though, just ask). We also have our sale section, for things I've picked up from stores or sellers that I need to sell. We do like to deal mostly with full outfits because we feel this is the best way for the transactions to have enough worth for both us and our buyers, because profits get divided and because we like putting together outfits, and they usually end up really cute. ^^ Most of our outfits have the potential to make lots of useful mix and match separates, in any case. Again, ordering a full outfit is NOT required, but we will not split up OOAK featured outfits already for sale. Can I use pictures from this site on my own site/post? In what instances is it okay? Can you delay posting pics of an outfit so I can have it be a surprise? Standard procedure re: using our pics - probably. Just let me know first and link back to this site, and do not hotlink the picture; please host it yourself. Do not claim pics (or work) as your own, or use them for moneymaking ventures (unless you're selling the outfit pictured, I suppose). Also, just to cover the obvious, do not edit or paint over any of these pics and claim them as your own just because you edited them. If it's your unique design, you can request that we delay posting pictures of a commission until you've received it and had a chance to present it, if you care about that sort of thing. Chances are you'll receive it before I have a chance to update, anyway. ^^ We will NOT keep pics of an outfit off the site (or elsewhere) forever, though, we reserve the right to post our own pictures of our work. The delay does not apply to indefinite long periods; no sitting on the outfit for a month before posting it and insisting that we not post as well. Why do you display a customer identifier (name or nickname) for clothing commissions, and not for faceup commissions? Can I change my identifier or remove it? When we first began, it was meant to be a bit of proof that the commissions actually had been requested (unnecessary in the case of faceups for obvious reasons). It's probably not necessary at this point, though it's become a tradition. But I want to stress: anyone who is uncomfortable with any part of their name displayed here can contact me and I will remove it or change it. I want to respect the need for privacy that some people may have, regardless of reason. Same with the guest gallery - some of these photos are sent to me, some I find in periodic searches. ANY owner-taken photos an owner doesn't want displayed on this site will be taken down; just ask. Where can I find out more about these? Please refer to our links page for some of our favorite doll company sites, as well as some info sites that can tell you more. Please contact Akiko if you have any more questions that have not been answered on this site. Thanks for looking!
