While multi-award-winning artist Pat Moulton originally built her reputation mainly as a maker of baby dolls and a pioneer in making reborn kits, she’s proven to be an innovator in the BJD field as well, creating socket-and-ball-joint tools in a variety of sizes to help BJD sculptors create joints that will fit perfectly.

Working from her home studio alongside her husband, Garel, a master mold maker and resin caster, Moulton continues to create BJDs and other dolls in a seemingly endless variety of sizes, styles, and themes.
