Miniature Fair In Kosta, April 06

I am delighted to announce that LillimBJD is going to have a table at the miniature fair in Kosta on the sixth of April.

The annual miniature fair in Kosta, Sweden, is hosted by the doll shop Margarethas Dockskåp. This fair’s main focus is on doll house miniatures in 1:12 scale, but Margaretha has kindly allowed us to have a table at the fair despite our focus on a somewhat larger dolls.
I love everything mini and I have always found plenty of things that works well for my tinies, even among the doll house stuff, so it doesn’t feel like too much of a leap.

If you decide to attend, please feel free to come over to our table and say hi, we’d love to meet you!

More information about the event can be found here (in Swedish): https://www.margarethasdockskap.se/massorovriga.html

The shop Margarethas Dockskåp is also well worth a visit, if you want a destination for an outing some other time.

Knobbly; for all your goblin needs!

Does your hero need a low threat opponent? Does your evil overlord need minions? Do you simply want to shell your favorite goblin RPG character?
Knobbly is the doll you need.

Finally, after way too long, the molds are made and the samples cast. He is ready for his first preorder, that will open on January 1st.

He is a charming little guy and a robust poser. He even comes with his own cudgel, because we can’t have an unarmed goblin running around, now, can we?

Keep an eye on the Order page. As soon as the preorder opens, the order form as well as instruction for how to order will be available there.

For measurements and pictures of the blank doll check out Knobbly’s product page.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@lillim.com

What’s on the work table?

So, what have I been up to since the last update?
Well, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have a new project in the works and what a project it is!

Say hello to Knobbly, the nasty Goblin.

This little guy is still in the sculpting stage, but he is finished enough that I am happy to share him with you all.
If all goes well he will be available for the October order period.

Happy New Year 2023!

Another year is over.
This past year saw the finish of -and first order period for- the male version of the tiny body and the introduction of the new head sculpt, Viggo, to go along with it.
All orders from the last order period is cast and shipped out, and the worktable is now empty, ready for the next project.

I am just about to start work on a whole new fantasy sculpt, scaled to fit in with the existing line of tiny dolls.

In addition to that I am also working on making more optional parts for the human tinies. A pair of feet for high heel shoes is already in the prototype stage and I have plans for some new hand poses as well.

I wish you all a good year to come!

Ushurz, an Ork art doll.

This is a bit of a side project, but I made him to match my tiny dolls so I think he still deserves to be shown off here. And I am very happy with how he turned out.
He is about 28cm tall.

This doll is made mainly out of papier maché with wooden balls used for some of his joints and polymer clay for his head and hands.

His accessories are made from worbla and wood.

One day I hope make a castable version of him, but for now he will remain a one off art doll.

Betty and Milly. Two tiny ladies.

I am happy to present these two.

They are both home cast in polyurethane resin and they share the same body and headcap, only their faces are different.

First out is Betty.

And here is Milly

Note: Millys teeth are not in the sculpt, but simply painted into the gap in the mouth. A shadow line there instead would make the mouth look closed.

Images of the body from different angles:

Additional images of the body in various poses:

Height: 23cm
Eyes in pictures: 6mm oval glass flat back. (8mm eyes with small iris will work as well.)
Head circumference: 11cm
Waist: 9cm
Bust: 10cm
Hips: 11cm
Foot: 32mm x 14mm

So, it’s 2021 now, huh?

I think I speak for most of us when saying that the past year was not the best in human history.
I’ve realized I had come to rely on the deadlines of conventions. With everything cancelled or postponed, things pretty much stalled.
Last spring, when there still seemed like the was a chance of at least some events happening I did cast a couple of my tiny dolls and while I have had a good time playing around with them for myself and getting to know the quirks of their bodies, I never really took any good photos and never presented them as finished.

Now, if we didn’t know it before, the past year have taught us that things never turn out as intended and even the best of plans can fall flat, but despite that I will take the risk and tell you a little about what is currently planned for the year to come, trusting whole heartedly in you discretion to not take this too seriously or hold it against me when it fails. Deal?

All right:
1. Good pictures of the tinies needs to happen and be published. I have no excuse for why this has not happened yet.
2. At least a few artist cast of these tinies need to get on to my Etsy shop as to be able to say that they are in fact available for purchase. This is a bigger deal than it sounds like as I still don’t have packaging materials figured out for them, but it needs doing.
3. I have started work on a boy torso option for the minies. The upper torso parts will be interchangeable, making it possible to make a small busted girl as well.
4. I wouldn’t be an artist if I didn’t get sidetracked, so I have also started another doll project. Those of you who hang out on DoA already knows about this one, for the rest of you; I’ll present him here when is gets to a presentable stage.
5. Patterns! I intend to start making some patterns that fit the dolls I make available through this blog.

Doesn’t sound too bad, as far as to do lists go, right?

May 2021 be a good doll year for us all!

I’m moving!

Hello.

Things have been quiet here for a while and there is a reason for that. I have bought a house! While it’s not going to be time to move in for some time yet, this will cause my doll hobby to be forced to take the back seat for a while.

The good news for my doll making is; that I will be able to set up a much better work space and hopefully some equipment for better casting in the future.
It will also mean that I am far less restricted to what hours of the day I can work without disturbing my neighbors, and that’s always a plus.

So, how far has the Basil project come so far?
Well, I have made a rough cast in polyurethane and while he is far from perfect, this has made it possible to work out the flaws that he has.
I have made one copy for myself to play with and another to be modded to perfection. Well, hopefully. 😉
The later is what will then be used as a master for the final molds. I will likely use a casting service for this as I suspect it will take some time before I have good casting facilities set up at the new place and I can’t hope to get a professional result with what I currently have.
