“How to make a ball-jointed doll”
My book will be presented at the ART & DOLLS INTERNATIONAL (ADI), “Art and Dolls” on 8 and April 9, 2017 in Amsterdam. The super poseable doll, the so-called ball-jointed doll, of which the production process is described in this book step-by-step, will also be showed here.
Book buyers will receive during the exhibition the manual “BJD Haute Couture”, worth € 3.95 as a gift. Here I show you how to make a toile and thus a pattern for a corset and panties. I also want to sign your book.
