Carmen hails from the vibrant neighborhood of Barceloneta, a place where the scent of the sea fills the air and the rhythm of waves is a constant lullaby.

With her shimmering golden hair, evoking the rare gloomy days she adores, she captures the essence of the Mediterranean.

On quiet mornings, Carmen can be found reading poetry to the sea, her soft voice blending harmoniously with the whispers of the wind.
Intricate attire of a polymer clay BJD doll
Carmen’s love for the sea is so profound that a local musician composed a nautical melody for her, blending in the sounds of the tides and cava in glasses.

This tune, now known as "Carmen of Barceloneta," echoes throughout neighbourhood, capturing the essence of the sea and the heart of a girl who calls it home.

Nina, whose stage name translates to "doll" in Catalan, is truly a puzzle. Her real name remains a closely held secret, enhancing her enigma.

Living in the vibrant Poble-sec neighborhood of Barcelona, renowned for its lively cabarets and theaters, Nina has enchanted the hearts of artists and musicians, who find inspiration in her mysterious essence.

"Nina of Poble-sec" - her connection to the music written for her is intimate. During the daylight hours, she's a silent spectator, sitting on window ledges, absorbing the scenes of everyday life. But as night falls, she transforms.

The once-quiet doll turns into the soul of the party, moving to the rhythm of the streets, her laughter bouncing off the old walls.

    How long does it typically take to create a ball-jointed doll (BJD)?
    Anna:
    Creating a ball-jointed doll can be a lifelong passion! However, with dedication, you can complete one in about 2-3 months.
    Guest:
    How much do the materials cost?
    Anna:
    It’s best not to skimp on doll-making materials, but thankfully, you don’t need everything at once. You can start almost for free — kitchen foil for armature and a pencil for a stencil can be found in every household. Start today!
    Guest:
    If I purchase a course with a yearly subscription for Santa Muerte, will I have to pay monthly next year?
    Anna:
    No, you won’t. Moreover, I’d be happy to offer you a 20% discount for the next year if you decide to continue your learning journey.
    Guest:
    Who are your courses designed for, and how much time do they typically spend on them?
    Anna:
    My courses are designed for all crafting enthusiasts, even beginners without any artistic experience. Professionals also join to enhance their skills. Generally, beginners enjoy the process leisurely as a hobby, while professionals often focus intensely for a few months.
    Guest:
    I’m scared I won’t be able to do it…
    Anna:
    Usually, people who have doubts end up creating the best projects. Don’t worry; my teaching system is structured and broken down into small tasks. With my templates and techniques, you’ll definitely succeed!
