My life is currently a huge mess. Three members of my family are gravely sick and I'm doing my best to be there for them but that means little to no time for creation as when I'm not in the hospital or working at my day job, I'm just too exhausted to create anything worth a damn.
I also managed to antagonize most of my friends and the ones left are too busy dealing with their own issues to shoulder mine on top of that so it's not like I have much of a support network anymore.
I'm turning 26 in three days.
I'm not sure I can do this for 60 more years.
So yeah.

Some news...
I think I’m going to stop offering custom dolls. I mean, I’m having a lot of fun working with my current client (she wants a parchment themed Darjeeling and LOVE thinking up ideas to make her look great) but it simply makes me realize that I’m not having fun doing cutesy standard stuff.
1) I’m only having fun when I’m allowed to do whatever I want and do something unique.
2) Apparently my full customs sell better than my regular full sets (make up + eyes + clothes).
So… I’ll just finish the other two commissions I already agreed I’d do and then I’ll only make heavy custom dolls, like the
Cost of Producing a Doll
I read a lot of people justifying the fact that they bought recasted dolls by complaining about how expensive BJDs are. So I decided I'd try to estimate the cost of making those dolls.
For the sake of the argument, I purposely used the average or lower estimates of the expenses those companies face, but I apologize in advance in case my numbers are off. I don't speak korean, so I had to roam through english and french websites to find my informations (also math isn't my strong point). I still think this gives a rough idea.
So I took the example of Fairyland, which is one of the most recasted companies. They're based in Seoul, South Korea.

Recasting and counterfeited dolls
Lately, the recast issue is becoming a real subject of concern for me. I've seen people on flickr congratulate each other for the beauty of their recasted dolls and openly talking about the ones they were about to buy : I received messages of threats and insults when I pointed out that this was both illegal and immoral. I wondered if I had somehow stepped through the looking glass and now up was down and right was wrong !
A few days ago, a fellow french doll artist, Lilycat (check her work, she's great), discovered thanks to one of her clients a whole facebook group dedicated to recasting her creations. She's taking care of it like the profe

SO ! Good news, bad news. I'll be at the Ldoll festival this week-end with my friend !Tendres-Chimeres (https://www.deviantart.com/tendres-chimeres) This is the good news. My mold were a bust, they just won't dry and I can't use them so I won't have anything to sell. This is the not quite so good news.
In the other hand, I decided I would open the preorders for both Sencha and Darjeeling.
You can now order them for 275€ (355$) instead of my artist cast who cost 350€ (453$) ! If you preorder them at the Ldoll, there's a special discount and you'll pay only 250€ (324$) !
I accept paypal and layaways, I'll will ship worldwide (shipping and shipping insurance price wil
