go to restoredoll.com to get hair to reroot(its super silky not hard or dried up like the weaves). you can also go to your local craft  store and get high quality acrilic paints and sealers and get super tiny paint brushes the thinner the better. and you can also go to your local beauty supply and buy silky hair to reroot to.\nhope that helps!

I have a friend in China who can probably help. He buys stuff for me and sends it to me to sell. Email me and let me know the products you want and quantity, if you have some pictures, that would be helpful. arrogant36804@yahoo.com

Hi! I'm a teenaged Filipina. I'm not really yet a professional but I think I can share you with some of my ideas. And here's it...\n\nSince it's summer, why not venture to 'food business'. You can try making some of our well known "PALAMIG", halo-halo, sago't gulaman drinks...or any drink which is cool, refreshing and tasteful. If not, you can also teach. That's if you are a virtuoso of a particular field. Let's say you are good in playing a violin or you're a geek in math, why not make it as your business? Who knows...You're hobby might credit you something! \n\nWell, I guess I have to end this...Hope I have shared something helpful!!!

Get a doll. It'd probably look better than what you make.

Custom fees from China are often very hefty. Your best bet is to do what i do. Dress like a very very cheap hooker, go to your local post office to pick up the package, and when in line promptly yell out, "Oh my God! my body is rejecting my baboon breast implants", during all the confusion, sneak out of the bottom of your hooker costume and go into the back of the post office to pick up your package....works every time.

Try the forums over at cosplay.com, lots of people have already made costumes and talk about what they used for different parts, have picture posted, etc...

ebay has inexpensive costumes. Look into having someone make things for you as well.

Try Manila.  It's the premier city in the Phillipines and probably has the most stores selling ink refills.

I'm not absolutely certain what you are asking, but assuming you want to make toys and furniture I will offer the following suggestions.\n\n1.  Go to The Public Broadcasting System's web site.  A man named Norm Abram (spelling uncertain) has a show called The New Yankee Workshop.  If you can link to his web site he offers plans for every project he does on the show.  He is very entertaining and informative.\n\n2.  Do It Yourself (DIY) is a cable network.  They have a web site that offers a similar service.\n\n3.  Go to your local home improvement store (Lowes, Home Depot, or similar) and go through the magazine racks.  There are dozens of magazines with projects from the simple to the ornate.
