On this page you can find links out to sites and pages I found helpful regarding dolls, as well as coding this site.
Doll Customizers
These are customizers I have personally worked with and recommend to others!
- Komorebi Dolls - Kira is who I primarily send my doll heads to to get painted these days. Her work is expensive, but very worth it! Medicine Seller and Olimpia are some of my favorites of my dolls that she has worked on.
- Nocturne Doll Studio - Used to work with Sam all the time to paint my dolls. Does really wonderful and uniform work. Also really loved that she makes digital mock-ups for faceups and mods prior to starting on doll heads to make sure the faceup will look exactly how you want it. Ria is one of my favorites of her work.
- trilliumbox - Dyed Keigo's wings for me and I couldn't be happier with the results.
- chromacritters - Dyed several doll hands of mine to match with their respective bodies. Can find comparison image here. Did a really spot-on job and highly recommend for color matching!
Ball-Jointed Doll Dealers
A doll dealer is a company that acts as a middleman for orders from doll makers/companies they work with. Here are ones I've worked with and recommend buying through.
- Denver Doll Emporium - Located in the USA. They handle doll preorders with companies as well as have some items in stock that's ready to ship.
- Alice's Collections - Located in China. Deal for a large number of different doll companies as well as clothing makers. Most everything is preorder unless otherwise noted. Customer service is super responsive and very helpful!

- Ball-Jointed Doll Wiki - A wiki I am admin for. If you want to know more about BJDs, this is a great spot to get started!
