I have been customising dolls for the best part of eight years now.

I started customising dolls when i was in school during art class. I first started on porcelaine dolls. My teacher owned a art gallery and took a shine to my dolls and claimed them for his own.

I went onto college doing art and design. I was allowed to do anything i wanted within the brief. It was then i started working with Barbie dolls. I would custom them with new clothes, paint. props and sets.

I then went onto University where i did fashion design. I learnt to design and make garments for people and how to minimise those skills to fit dolls.

I discovered Little apple dolls about three years ago and i had one twice. The urge to create a one of a kind doll stuck with me for months till i finally customised it into a doll i later called Alice. I went onto sell her on Ebay. After my success in selling her i made more and continued to sell via Ebay for many months.

It was because of this i met a dear friend who introduced me to many people who customised dolls just like me.

I went onto enter a custom contest with my first ever Living dead doll custom and i won. From then on i was hooked and i have been customising Living dead dolls ever since.

I moved onto Monster high dolls in the last year or so. I started out by making my best friend a Living dead dolls Inspired doll. She was the beginning of a never ending obsessions making new Monster high characters.

I love to make one off dolls but i have made various characters like Jack & Sally from The The Nightmare Before Christmas. I have also made various commission dolls in my time to. I love a challenge and i try to make every doll as different as i can. I love to experiment with media and make dolls in all ways possible.

I plan to keep customising for as long as i can!

Check out my fan page on facebook where i first started showing all my dolls from Little apple dolls, Living dead dolls and Monster high:

I finally got my ass into gear and got some decorative back grounds! I will be setting up my little booth and cracking out the old faithful camera later! I will be re doing my shop photo's of my customs and adding the rest of my BJD prototype fantasy parts to the gallery. I have had a lot of interest in when they will be made in resin and will be for sale. I am working on moulds as i type but it can take some time. I have the resin and i am waiting on more silicone but i have some moulds i am ready to try soon. I will be adding more items to my fantasy parts including a pair of demonic wings i have kept hidden for now. I will get them cleaned

I never do boy dolls primarily as i have no clue when it comes to working with male tailoring. I went to university doing fashion and specialised in female design. Typically women have a larger market and male design is usually only done if you want to specialise. Any way i have trouble making items for them and i finally broke out my comfort zone and customised a boy monster! He is called Draco Scales and as you probably guessed from his name he is a Dragon! I have cheated and tailored some clothes for him but i will be sticking to girls in the near future. I did sew some but other bits i tailored to fit. I would normally tackle the sewing

Also started on doll number 4 for my beautiful creatures series, she will be a harpy so more wings coming this way :D
