30 Day BJD Meme Day 1

I started this in 2012 but never finished it, so now I am going to try to do them again. You can see where I tried the first time (and got to day 10) if you go back and look at January to April 2012.

Day 1: Why do you like BJDs?

I like BJDs because of their customization factor. I love that a change of clothes, a change of wigs, a subtle change to faceup, can completely change the feel of a doll. I also love that having them inspires creativity.

My drawn art has slowly improved over the last 11 years even with it being intermittent, and I've gotten better at photography, sewing, and picked up new skills like knitting, and to a lesser degree quilting, and pattern drafting.

The hobby encourages and fosters creativity, and after a long time there are so many different companies to choose from with different aesthetics that almost anyone can find a doll that can be customized to their liking.
