How To Sculpt Hands & Feet From Polymer Clay / Poseable Art Doll
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 08. 2020
- How I sculpted the hands & feet for my poseable Gnome art doll. The hands have a wire finger armature for strength. I use Super Sculpey beige. Make sure you makes holes for the arm and leg armature wire to go into the finished hands and feet before you bake (I didn't show this end step)
I have the gnome template available in my Etsy shop as a digital download: www.etsy.com/uk/listing/90128...

Absolutely amazing, you make it look so easy 💕👌
Absolutely awesome.
Incredibly helpful series, thank you!
Really good job ! Congratulations ! And thanks a lot to share
I am amazed!!!
I used your tutorial to make my idea of an elf, I can’t thank you enough as I was getting disheartened with my efforts thank you for sharing your idea’s they are fantastic! You have probably helped my sanity in these difficult times we’re living at the moment 🤔
That's so lovely to hear, thank you I'm glad my videos helped. Art is so good for helping zone out of the mad world, keep it up x
So helpful. Thank you.
Fascinating to watch the process... Thx 🙏 for sharing your gifts with us.... Sincerely sincere... Miss Judith 🌹 🎶
Thank you thank you thank you for this video! Amazing work and very helpful.
Woooow lo haces perfecto!!! Te felicito!!!! Pero más te felicito por seguir la voz de tu alma!!!
Thank you! 😁
Very good details, thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Wow you are totally unbelievable!!
Wow! So detailed! Great work! Excellent tutorial!
Thanks so much!
I loved it💯
When you sliced that little part of the toe off, my toe screamed. Whew! I guess that's a good thing. Your work is incredible.
LOL! thank you :)
Fantasticos, me encantan. Millones de gracias. Un saludo desde España
Your work is just amazing
Thank you so much 😀
Einfach nur Perfekt 😊
Great Tutorials; Very helpful🙂
Thank you 😊
You made it look so easy...Ive sculpted before but i used solid clay not knowing i could hollow it out with aluminum foil.. Live and learn...Thanks for showing me
that's great, and it saves on clay plus if the clay is too thick it may not cure inside. :)
If you're interested in making fantasy creatures - find me on PATREON: patreon.com/fairytribe 😊
Merci beaucoup vous êtes trop forte j’adore 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️💋💋💋
How do you keep the finish looking so smooth?? Amazing job, I just started doing this!
I'm so excited to do this! I never knew feet & hands didn't need to be solid clay (any of the body) I sure wasted a lot of clay on my one and only doll I made. Thanks for the tutorial!
No problem, yes you have to be careful how thick you go with the clay too or it may not cure properly in the middle 😊
I don't know why, but i winced every time you created toenails and fingernails :D Beautiful work, so detailed you could confuse a palm-reader! Hope to see more soon. :)
LOL, did it look painful? Poor Gnome! :D
Wow!!! 🇺🇸🇦🇷😉
I Have always had a hard time with hands. I watched this tutorial and my first attempt looked pretty good. Thanks for this tutorial
That’s great I’m pleased it helped 😃
❤
Einfach wunderschön danke perfekt liebe Grüße
You are an amazing sculptor! Would love to have your talent!
Thank you so much 😀
I saw the link on facebook and had to subscribe your channel.
brilliant, thank you!
👏👏👏👏👏😘
Thank you for this wonderful video! So mesmerizing. Can you please tell me--what did you use Genesis heat set paints on (versus acrylic paints)?
Thank you, I think I possibly used all genesis on him from what I remember. Generally genesis is great for blending skin tones etc and acrylics are great for bold colours and sharper lines. I have a painting the face vid coming soon x
no u bum
Your tutorials are so helpful, and your dolls so charming. Getting the right wire has been such a barrier for me to start making armatures, so I really appreciate your videos! 💗Is the plastic coated wire used for the fingers anodized aluminum wire or is it galvanized steel wire?
thank you I'm glad they help :) I'm not sure what type of wire is under the plastic sorry.
yes! its so smexy ;D TABLES also keep up the good work O.O
Hola, es impresionante el trabajo que realizas es pura artesanía y se nota el cariño con el que lo haces.
Pero aparte de esto estoy enamorada de este duende en especial, sería mi primer duende ya que ninguno me llenaba el corazóncomo lo hace este. Me gustaríasaber si esta en venta y si así fuera el precio, muchísimasgraciaspor adelantado un abrazo enorme desde España
Hello and thank you! He was sold a while back sorry.
Where do you buy stretchy tape for the body? I have loved making these little critters. You make it so easy to follow. Thank you!
Thank you! There should be links under the videos 😊
And you can bake it with the plastic coated wiring?
I do, clay bakes at fairly low temperatures and I have a separate oven for clay in case of fumes.
I love this! How do you make the cool clothes?
thanks, with scraps of various fabric and mostly glueing.
@@emzoddworks would you be able to do a tutorial on clothes making for these please?
@@louiserandall3206 will add it to my list 😊
When you put that toe nail in 😲😲😲😲

Apoxie Sculpt - 2 Part Modeling Compound is this what you used? you spelled it with a "y" and I just wanted to make sure... it's not listed in your tools or materials...great share...Thank you
Yes, mine was a DIY store one but Apoxie sculpt is the same, I think you get longer to work with that one before it sets too.
Hi.
Can I place a figure in the oven lying down? Is there a risk of it becoming deformed?
If so, does someone know how to prevent it from deforming?
Thank you.
Support any areas that you may think would need it. I have a fibre glass wool that's used for ceramics so is fine in the oven.
😂❤😂
Can i use super sculpey living doll only for sclupting all of these? I can’t afford all the type of those polymer clay :( it’s really expensive in my country
Hi, yes any polymer clay. Living doll is a good clay I used to use it all the time.
What was the white clay you added to the feet?
That was an apoxy clay for added strength but you don't have to use it :)
With the apoxy sculpt, I’ve always wondered if it can be baked once cured?
As far as I know it can resist temperatures slightly over what you bake the clay at.
But is plastic coated wire safe to bake in home oven?
I bake in separate oven and never breathe any fumes just to be safe. The temp is fairly low and the wire is inside the clay.
Hallo liebe Grüße es ist so schade , dass ihr soooo weit weg wohnt . Würde sofort zum Kurs kommen..
I don’t teach at the moment, I just make the videos 😊
Ok I went and ordered the temp plate on poseable drone fairy tribe it's on I don't know what you calling 29 CM okay why I'm trying to get ahold of you is when I copied the template on the back page of the drone the picture of him the top part of his feet did not finish coping so do I need to get a bigger piece of paper to copy it or can you copy from his knees down for me I would appreciate it thank you Vivian Richards
Hi Vivian, I don’t have any messages from you on Etsy? The US and UK have different paper sizes so you need to reduce the template when you print, try 90% or ‘fit to page’.
If you have any further problems please message me through Etsy thanks
Hi. Do you have GNOMOS to sell? I'm in Peru, is there any way I can buy it? THANK YOU
Sorry none for sale at the moment
Ölçüleri nedir yazarmısınız (cm)
He is sold now but I think his feet were about 7cm long and hands 4cm long roughly.
@@emzoddworks thankss🙏
They only have 4 fingers because they have no need to flip anyone off. 😁
