  • I wanted to try designing and sculpting my own character from scratch! I'm very happy with the final result! What do you think, not too bad for a first doll, eh? :)

    I’m sure you already know this, seeing as how you’ve got all the other items for sculpey-but there’s actually a Sculpey glue! There’s also another material that they sell to get rid of the fingerprints on your clay. Both of those items I just wish I had those when I was 13 years old playing with copy for the first time because I’ve gone 40 years until I figured that out!
    And also your editing is really good. Nice to see you on CZcams. Hope you survive girl! ❤

    Thank you for sharing, what a lovely charming doll. 🥰🥰 it's beautiful.I love how your video is easy to understand. I'm just looking into making my 1st one and getting as much info before I do. Could you ever do a video on the clays? And how they work. It could be a silly question but does clay that you use, they dry really hard or do they dry but still soft and bendy. Do you have to cook them. And what's the best type of brand to use. No doubt you might have already made one further down 😂 I do apologise if you have.

    • @Wickelle
      @Wickelle  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Thank you! :) The clay I used is super sculpey, it's a polymer clay, so it needs to be baked to harden. I like it because I'm very slow at sculpting, so I don't have to worry about the clay air drying/hardening while i'm working on a project. It's not flexible once baked tho.

    I love her💙 . Do you have any suggestions for varnishing dolls especially for protecting blush?

    • @Wickelle
      @Wickelle  Před rokem +1

      I usually don't varnish any of my sculptures but I probably should. Iv'e seen a lot of doll customizers use Mr super clear, but I've never tried it myself. I imagine any kind of art sealant could work, but I would recommend to test it on a scrap piece first because I know some sealants don't react well to polymer clay/paint.

    • @karymarie9786
      @karymarie9786 Před rokem

      @@Wickelle thanks, excited to see more of your art work❤ iv been running into some problems were I find that most sealants dont react well with clay. Liquatex professional matte varnish is ok but but still has a sort of faint shine to it, there is also the brand Gold polymere matte varnish that a nother artist Tina yu uses,but is currently temporarily discontinued. Been thinking about switching to apoxi clay so that I can safely use spray vertion of the Gold matte varnish but then Ill lose the benefits at working at my pace and being able to make changes,due to the clay hardening

    • @Wickelle
      @Wickelle  Před rokem +1

      Some of the tools I use the most are the one with the silicon tips, a needle tool, and ball point tools, but I would recommend trying to find a kit with a variety of tools so you can try them out and see what works best for you! :) I don't have a specific brand to recommend as mine were either gifts or purchased from my local art store. Oh and, happy birthday! :)

    • @Wickelle
      @Wickelle  Před rokem +1

      You could use a doll stand, or maybe add magnets in the feet and use a magnetic base. Reducing the weight/size of the head could also help with the balance!

  • @GrimAngel01100
    @GrimAngel01100 Před 2 měsíci

    Does the foam keep the armature from snapping? Or just hold in place if it does?

    • @Wickelle
      @Wickelle  Před 2 měsíci +1

      The foam from the sponge is to add mass and shape to the body (basically like muscles). I suppose it would hold the wire in place if it snaps, but if you double twist your wire and use a wire that has good flexibility it shouldn't snap at all unless you use excessive force or repeatedly bend it in the same place. I would suggest testing the wire first, to see if it holds up well, before building the doll.
