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

Bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, Nina is both enigma and allure. Between dusk and dawn, she lives a life untethered, a quiet storm in the heart of the city.

Dunia’s rare smile is like the first hint of sunlight after a storm—brief and impossible to forget. It feels like a gift, one that leaves you wondering if you truly saw it at all.
Dunia of Raval
Dunia takes paths no one else sees, slipping through Raval’s maze of alleys with the ease of someone who belongs to the city’s very bones. She is both a part of Raval and apart from it.

Guest:
How long does it typically take to create a ball-jointed doll?
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:
Will you guide me on what to do?
Anna:
Feedback? I’ve got tons of it. You can always ask me for free about any mistakes and progress in your work, or even to inspire.
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!
