I know when I first got into the hobby, the idea of restringing made me nervous. Perhaps a "basics of restringing" video would help some people out. :)
+bjd love Definitely yes!
Yes, PLEASE more basic tutorial videos. I have just started this hobby and I can't get enough of anything about it. I find that a lot of people leave small parts out, however, which to a person who is new to the hobby, can be a HUGE detail.
I also would like to see more about Monster High Dolls. I almost gave up until I came across a doll that had a resin? head? Much harder and SO much easier to get color to lay down. I didn't have to use near as much MSC either! I guess it just takes a lot of patience to work on Monster High Dolls. When I first started, I just assumed that I would be cutting the eyes out and inserting other real looking eyes. After absolutely ruining a few doll heads, I was left unsure of what to do. You make it look so easy, but I know that it isn't. Does it just take a lot of practice? Because if I mess up a doll by drawing the eyes, that's easy enough to redo. But, if you mess up a head by trying to cut the eyes out, it's just ruined. There are no do-overs. I know I'm rambling, so yeah, something really specific on cutting out eyes on Monster High or I guess Ever After dolls. Thank you Nicolle! You are so awesome and talented!
I love that you're doing voice overs now :)
Thank you
This series is going to be amazing! Please continue!
Oh! This series will be one of my favorite! Support!
Yes!! I'd love for you to continue this series!! I'm thinking about getting my first doll soon, and even small stuff like inserting eyes is super helpful to me!
Please continue this back to basics series. I want to get more into the ball-jointed doll collecting the only one I have currently is a Freya but would love to someday get a Dollfie Dream. I am a very big doll collector mainly vintage Barbie, Monster high and Ever after high. Watching your videos on face ups has inspired me to take my doll obsession to a new creative level. Please continue to share your talents
Please continue with the series love it!!!!
Great mini series!
Thanks! My first Pullip doll doesn't have the eye mechanism, so I followed this guide to attach her eyes to her head. It was a bit harder, since she didn't have a place to put the eye and I had to put extra BlueTack to keep the eye in place, but it was this video that gave me a solution :).
I love the idea of this back to basics series, I hope you will continue it!
I would like to start doing this! So please continue this series for newbies like myself!
Yes, please do more. I love your Monster High face-ups; you're so talented. Step-by-step-by-step tutorials like these are just what I need.
Love these series please continue them!!
This kind of videos will be really informative thank you! I hope you'll continue!
Wow......Amazing guys!!!
Ooh! I like this new Back To Back Basics videos you started to make! They're really helpful!
Please continue:) That's amazing!!!
It's something "basic" as you say, but when it's your first time trying to put eyes on a doll, it's very, very complicated, I had to do a lot of research, even I try three times... I think it's very good, not to take for granted that tiny things that "every" collector must know, because not everyone are "experts" so... keep making this, and thank you.
Thank you very much! :) You are absolutely right, hopefully these can be useful to people starting out.
i love this new serie :)
please continue doing back to basics series =D even though ive done lots of researches over these before getting a doll but i still enjoy these
Such a useful video! I like this♥
Just binge watching your videos as I wait for my first doll to arrive, just a few more days, hopefully!
I think this series would be very beneficial to beginners!
I think this is going to be a great series Andreja! I already knew how to apply eyes correctly, but never thought to use a brush to push the putty down for extra security. Hope you'll make more :)
I would love to see many more videos in this series. I'm very interested in dolls (both BJD and other types), but I'm scared of getting into it as a hobby because it seems difficult, and beginner's information isn't always easy to find. Things many newbies wonder is where/how to buy dolls and doll parts, how you put together the parts (such as this eye video), how you paint dolls (of course your faceup stories are already great, but maybe you could make more tutorials for it too?), how you can use/make wigs or reroot hair... etc. So I think any and all tutorial videos would be fantastic. Thank you for your hard work always, I haven't commented before, but I love your faceup videos! :-)
this was really helpful, please continue this series! ^^
This Is a great idea❤️ To show us the basics
Thank you so much Nicolle. There I was putting really too much putty and not pressing it in place solidly enough - great idea the rounded pencil - and it never stayed in place. So you've given me the solution to end my crooked eye dolls. Thank you!
+Moufflette I am happy to hear that :D
please continue!!
Love it!!! This would help a lot of beginners on the hobby thanks for your time and knowledge!!
I hope so! Thanks for watching :D
Love that your channel and videos are divided into easy to find sections and groups. Great also that you have a back to basics, how to make wigs, faceups and etc
It is nice when people notice all the extra hard work that goes into organising things :D Thanks for watching :)
Welcome, I love your channel, and you deserve the praise
Love it! Please continue! :)
Love this new series, maybe give tips on customizing Monster High dolls too? :D
Do you have a more specific question? Like which part of customising Monster High are you having troubles with?
Nicolle's Dreams Like, how did you manage to get bright scleras? I can't seem to get the white color pencil to show up on my customs.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO . HER VOCIE IS SO SWEET
Please do more of these! You are very awesome and talented!

Hello Andreja! I was hoping you would please consider making a Back to Basics video about how to position your doll's eyes so that they look realistic in the head. I have my own technique but I am sure it could be better. Thank you! Your videos are a delight to watch.
Thanks!! This video is perfect for a bjd newbie like me:)
I am waiting for my first doll to arrive and your videos are very helpful!!
Thank you - I hadn't realised it was that easy!

You have such a lovely accent! I really hope you'll do more videos like this with you talking! Can you do a video on how to do different poses with your fairy land dolls? I myself am too nervous about positioning my minifee because I don't know what she's entirely capable of without possibly snapping her or something..I hope that makes sense lol my dolls are so fragile in my eyes
