Description This is my end of year project.
BJD is a short term for Ball-Jointed Doll which is a type of doll having the ball joints and it's movable. This is actually my first BJD.

This doll is about 120cm tall, made out of air-drying clay painted with gesso and oil paints. The hair is dyed artificial silk doll hair and eyelashes are dyed cheap paint blush.

There are two reasons that I made this doll,
1, I always wanted to make BJD.
2, I wanted to do more installation regarding my previous life-size doll project that you can find in my gallery.

So, this time I tried to make a life-size BJD and do some installation along with the story of "The Little Match Girl".
The story is very famous Danish kid's tale about a poor girl selling matches on a street of new year's eve.

It's already April, so there is no chance to do such installation regarding to the original story's time.
So I decided to do some photoshootings at least.

I got all the cloths from college's swapshop for free and there was a empty bathtub in college, so I used it.
