sailorashes asked: Hi! :D Have you ever had a problem with a sticky residue left behind after wiping a faceup off? D: I use MSC UV cut and Windsor Newton brush cleaner to seal and remove faceups, and I had this problem today and now the residue wont come off completely. :/

Face-up Critique to Myself
Note to self, stop it with the super, ultra long eyelashes. It doesn’t look good! Too overdone. Yick yick yick. I still haven’t done an airbrush BJD face-up yet so I’ll get on that eventually! Also here is another photo of Sawyer, since I dyed her head a bit darker and also changed the positioning of her fingers.

BJD Blog Carnival: "Why I Did It"
justchien: chienpaints: Anyone interested in doing a BJD blog carnival? Blog carnivals are many things, but what I think matters most about them is that a bunch of bloggers will blog about the same thing. I think it’d be fun to have a bunch of BJD people write up a post about how they got into the hobby and why they stayed— regardless of whether or not they have BJDs at the mo’ or not. We...

sailorashes asked: Ahh, thank you so much! <3 That really helps a lot! I never thought about paying attention to the brow bone. :o The sculpt is actually a Resinsoul/Bobobie Ai. It's normally a girl head, but I'm turning it into a boy. I found some pictures of what the head looks like blank, and with a faceup if you would like to see them. :) I would like to give him sort of a hip young adult look. He...

The Thin Brush Debate →
For anyone interested, I started writing some articles about painting dolls for my blog. Since “Chien Paints” is a work-related blog— for updating with progress photos, completed face-ups, wait-list progression, and giveaways— it didn’t seem right to fill up “Chien Paints” with articles about BJDs in general along with some reviews for BJD products. The...

sailorashes asked: Hi there! :3 I absolutely LOVE your faceups, you are so talented! I am jealous of your skills, and I really hope to one day be as good as you. :) I have a question for you, about faceups. I bought my first boy bjd the other day, and I have NO IDEA what to do. I have only worked on girl heads before, and I'm worried that I will make my boys head look feminine out of habit. Do you have any...

I’ll write up the rules for the face-up giveaway and get those up when I can, then. : ) I’ll only do one to two face-up giveaways a year, so I’m trying to figure out if I should make the entry period longer or shorter. Any thoughts? Longer would… Oh goodness, Id love this!  I dont really have any input on how to...

Pictureless Announcement
I’m considering after I reach fifty followers on Tumblr, I’ll start the seasonal face-up giveaway as a thanks for the support I’ve received over the years in this hobby. I’m planning on doing at least two a year depending on how busy I am, and I still do not know what would be a fair length of time to run them to allow people ample time to hear about it to reblog. While it...
