I started to customize dolls on August 31, 2015. It's barely two years ^^

What got you started?

One day while wandering on the internet, I came across a high customized monster. I found her very cute right away! have completely cracked. I wanted to try too ^^ Being already a handyman in the soul I already had everything necessary at home to realize my first personalization. So I started

What types of customs do you do?

I customize of monster high most of the time, small and giant . On the giants, I insert their eyes as on the bjd. But I also worked on Animator ,Pullip, BJD, barbie, EAH, my little pony, petshop….

I use watercolor pencils, dry pastels, acrylic paint, sequins, rhinestones (make up). For the hair, I use wigs in alpaca fiber or mohair. I also use viscose and nylon. Recently, I also began to make reroot ^^

Are there any products you just can’t live without?

I could not work without a good material in general ^ ^ And no longer without the various collaborators

What is your most favorite custom that you have made?

LUNA^^ she’s so cute <3

What is your least favorite custom that you have made?

For this doll I was accused of copying another artist (because the idea of the connection of the two bodies was not mine). But this idea already exists several years and has been used by other artists

I was attacked with virulence for this creation

A lot of beginners get so frustrated when their customs don't come out the way they want them to, and often compare themselves to their favorite artists and give up. Can you show us your very first custom?

Sakura no Hana was my first custom ^^. This basic doll is an imitattion of monster high doll. My god we see very well that my work was not clean !! ^^
