Spawned from a commission thread on a forum, atelier dolle is a website dedicated to bringing doll collectors custom aesthetic services for their little plastic darlings.

This custom aesthetic service is only for Pullip, Taeyang and Dal dolls only.
Please email me for Blythe and BJD commission requests.

Each month, atelier dolle opens two slots for aesthetic commissions. Check out our Tumblr blog for updates and the current service status.

This website (and service) is run by Rui.

► a bit of history

I've been doing faceups for dolls since I got my first BJD back in 2005. Originally I only did faceups and mods for BJDs, but in 2008 I started working on Pullips as well. I am not an expert in dollie customisation; I merely like the process of it. If you want to know what I offer, read on...

► noteworthy things

• All prices shown below are in US dollars.
• I am located in Singapore, and live in a pet-free, smoke free environment.
• I WILL NOT replicate other artist's works.
• You can send me pictures for reference, but please use only medium to large images. Also, please refrain from using blurry photos.
• Eyelashes are not provided.
• I do not offer eyechip change/eyemech modification services.
• Piercings are done by drilling with a drill vise.

► what I offer

• Faceup: $26
• Stock faceup removal: $7
• Helix piercing: $2 for first piercing, $1.20 for subsequent piercings

► helix piercings?

Helix piercings are also known as cartilage piercings. They are limited to 5 per ear (any more of them on the same ear will break the plastic), and come in five flavours. Click here to view

Unlike the example pictures in the gallery, helix piercings do not come with add-ons like beads and charms. Also, if no colour option is given for piercings, they will be done with silver rings.

► materials I use

• Faber Castell/Derwent watercolour pencils
• Cretacolor soft pastels
• Gaia-color hobby paints and gloss
• Mr. Super Clear Flat
• Mr. Thinner (for faceup removal)

► turnaround time

I usually work on weekends and holidays, so it might take a week to three weeks upon receiving your doll, depending on your commission.

► shipping details

• Shipping costs both ways (to me, and back) are to be covered by you.
• Please send your doll to me using a trackable shipping method to ensure it does not get lost in the mail.
• Finished commissions will be packed with bubble wrap and in a box before sending them back to you.
• Please send only doll heads with their eye mechanism (for aesthetic purposes).
• I am NOT responsible for packages not in my possession.

Finished commissions are sent back to you using Registered Airmail. Shipping is $12 for the first doll, additional $5 for every subsequent doll.
For local (Singapore) customers, I will only do meet-ups.

► payment details

• All payments must be made with non-credit card Paypal.
• I do not accept e-cheques by Paypal.
• You are required to pay the full amount up front once I've received your doll. I will only start work when payment is received.
