Hello everyone,
My name is Sarah. My username is after my favourite flower:) I am a resin bjd collector in the main, but after buying a SisterFox porcelain doll on the secondary market a year ago (Sakura), I have just taken the plunge and purchased a second doll (SweetTouch) again on the secondary market, which will hopefully be here in a couple of weeks.
I love the ability to paint and characterise the resin dolls, but dislike resin as a composite material and don't feel that I am investing in a quality medium. I love my resin dolls but don't like what they are made of ultimately!
I feel that now is the time to start collecting dolls of a higher quality alongside them, ones that won't discolour or need re-painting, and which I can enjoy as they are, without feeling that they are ultimately devaluing as time goes on. Size wise I love their delicacy in the porcelain medium - the detailing is amazing! Oddly I currently favour the SD size in resin, probably more for ease of handling.
I have re-styled and re-dressed my Sakura (possibly a no-no for many collectors). I re-named her Blossom (after the tattoo of the same, on her shoulder). She was partly purchased in memory of my late Grandad who had this pet name for me. I truly love the heirloom, high quality feel of her. I can just enjoy her without feeling I need to do anything!
I am sure that this forum will be just as bad for me as the Resin Cafe has been in terms of 'enabling'. I swore I would only have 1 resin bjd, just add a '0'!
