I have been working on making a BJD out of beads lately, I hope you all don't mind if I share her here ^_^ Her name is Esmeralda, she is approximately 9 inches tall. She is made of glass seed beads, organic cotton thread and stuffing, and has Swarovski pearl joints. She has 13 points of articulation. She still needs clothes and shoes, I will share more photos of her when they are finished. All in all I am happy with how she turned out, although I am thinking of slightly changing the placement of the torso joint on the next doll. Anyways, here she is!

Thanks so much, I'm glad you like her!

The pearls are actually really nice for joints, they come in many colors and sizes, and are perfectly round. I was so happy it actually worked!

And it must have cost so much time! I'm really impressed, I also love the detail of the 'painted' nails

I finished Esmeralda on Christmas Eve, but couldn't post her until now because my camera was messed up. So, here is my little flower faerie, all finished! (more pics on my blog & Flickr, see the links in my signature)
