Not Rocking Synthetic Hair
Although this book covers wool wigs that is about all it covers. I was hoping for more information on synthetic hair and the heat resisting hair. The book uses a lot of glue even when sewing the hair to the wig cap. I must say that this technique was new to me.Her wigs do look very realistic and the example doll she uses is an SD size BJD with an 8.5 inch head. I've tried the gluing method of making wigs but I found it messy and the end result wasn't as good as my all sewn wigs.

Very informative! My new go-to book!
I'm just now venturing into bjd collecting. This is a very well written, step by step; instruction to styles, types, mediums and outcomes to above-stated. I've always enjoyed working with pastels and watercolors so now I find myself intrigued by the possibilities of do it yourself face-ups. I might actually be able to bring out my collection of paints an brushes, and put them to good use on a hujoo doll I have currently enroute. Thank you again for this wonderful reference and lovely pictures that accompanied my new go-to book!-from one gamer to the next. Never let your mind stop wandering, for great things come from the adventure.

very detailed and instructive
Those getting ready to tackle the exciting but anxiety provoking task of face up for the first time like me will find this book very informative. All the basic steps are explained and illustrated in great detail. The equipment needs are well explained. I have enjoyed the author's Videos and this book complements that work perfectly. I look forward to more advanced techniques in a future book. (Please!)

But it’s good for beginners with skills
Not what I was hoping for...not enough examples of alternative examples of colonizations with many different materials/media. But it’s good for beginners with skills.

I am utterly pleased with this book
I am utterly pleased with this book! The author writes in such a way that It feels as if shes speaking to you, person to person. And her step by step tutorials are so easy to follow. I decided to first read on this hobby before starting and after having read through it, I feel confident that I’ll do great.

This book was great. I wish it had additional information on shading ...
I have been watching YouTube videos on this topic while searching for a book to cover how to accomplish a BJD face-up. This book was great. I wish it had additional information on shading & how to apply makeup to a female doll but overall I am not unhappy that I purchased this. I would recommend it for anyone just starting out that wants to understand the process & materials needed.

Extremely Helpful!
Extremely helpful, especially if the idea of a face-up makes you nervous about joining the hobby. The author really breaks it down and explains each step. She even gives a list of recommended supplies, with brand suggestions! I don't really have any spectacular artistic talent, but this book makes me think with a little practice and patience I can ROCK at BJD face-ups!

Short, but perfectly formed. A little like BJDs...
A beautiful, fascinating, and informative book, useful for 3D texture artists working on game characters as well as BJD fans!
