Candle wax for my core worked well with my ball jointed doll

Hey everyone wanted to share something with all of you. One of my friends on youtube suggested that I try using the candle wax in a block. She uses it for her polymer clay dolls as well and she said its easy to carve but hard to slice. A lot cheaper then doll wax. I bought some yesterday and love it. I also used my wood burning tool to help with the slicing. Worked great so I posted some pictures as Im making a video.

The pedal from Let's Make a Mermaid

I took a pic of the pedal from the tutorial I did. Its all dry so it dried less then 24hrs. They are just gorgeous and you never know what design they will give you. And you will never be disappointed. .

Mermaid is now finished tutorial uploaded

She is finished and I want to thank all you that have followed along with me.  You have inspired me so much with this one.  See you in my next tutorial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dy3f6zvYMo

Final and finished Let's Make a Mermaid is about to happen

Update Let's Make a Mermaid has been finished. At the moment I'm waiting for her to dry so I can add the photo's to the finished tutorial.. It should be up sometime tomorrow or the latest Friday. I will post when she is up. I really love her and proud of myself for stepping outside of my box and going for something I didn't think I was going to like... Never doubt yourself. I hope that it will encourage you to all step outside of your box and create something you would think not of yourself. See all of you soon.

I wanted to let everyone that has been following Lets Make a Mermaid that I haven't gotten as far as I planned due to our down pours of rain. Many people are flooded but no we don't flood where Im at. But we had many trees that came down and a huge yard clean up... Been working outside for 2 full days. Hopefully I will get this finished so I can move on. Thinking out her tail as I work outside LOL.

Still moving along with Let's Make Mermaid.

I have finished her hair and I have moved on to her tail. The lighting here isn't good. Been raining for days and flooding for people have started. Im afraid I might run out of paint and I don't want to go out in this rain. Oh, well it will all get finished when its time.

Starting to paint my Mermaid

Well I started to paint and sorry to say but the camera doesn't show the brilliant colors and it's cloudy here and raining.  When I get her mostly painted I will have a tutorial up just showing how I applied the paint and the products I have used.  Making the tutorial as short as I can but all the information given to you.  After I paint her I will do a few experiments on her tail fin I have a few idea's but need to experiment before I jump in.  If I do there might not be a way to correct you know a done deal.  Stay tuned as I move along and hopefully I will be ready for the tutorial and we will all get to see the finished mermaid.

Update Let's Make a Mermaid she has been cooked

Update Let's Make a Mermaid. Well I lost count at 280 and I was no where finished with these sea foliage I call them lol. Im so pleased the armature and apoxie sculpt produced a very strong armature and held the polymer clay in position. Ok I can breathe easy... She is 12" without tail fin. See all of you in my tutorial going to finish her up and move on to my next project. What will it be? Well I have some idea's but I really want to feel it and then I will jump into my own world.

Update Let's Make a Mermaid How I insert arms

All that are following Lets Make a Mermaid here are pic I took explaining how I use 2part apoxie to insert the arms. This will not be in my tutorial because I think the pic explain it and the tutorial won't be so long.
Disclaimer this way is in no way of saying this is for everyone. This here sharing with you is what works for me and is so much easier then working with wires. I found by breaking my doll down into sections and using the Aves Apoxie Sculpt it gives me the strength, durability and the freedom to stage bake. Do not be afraid to experiment with your dolls and truly go outside of your box and find what works for you instead of following one way that you may struggle with because someone said to do it that way. Expand with yourself and thats when you will find your style.

Update Let's Make a Mermaid sea foliage for hair

Update Let's Make a Mermaid. Working on the sea foliage to make it flow like it would be her hair. Haven't gotten to the back yet lol.

Update Let's Make a Mermaid WIP

Update Let's Make a Mermaid. Wanted to show what I have done so far. Most of the description is typed onto the pic. Will be back until she is finished. Sorry for the lighting with this is suddenly got very cloudy.

Colors I will be using for the mermaids tail on the sea foliage

Played with some colors for my mermaid tail and decided it will be like this. Off to experiment on some hair. Im almost ready to make another tutorial so you can see how Im putting this all together.

A new color I have discovered for doll eye's

Gave a class today and thought I would share this with all of you. I love the color and now I have to make another Tink with this color. I was never happy with my tinkerbells because I never could get the color I wanted. Im happy. Back to the mermaid.

Let's Make a Mermaid update!

Working on Mermaid tail I'm up to 120 of these sea foliage on her tail LOL.. Im going to let the clay rest at this point and then I will work on the upper torso. Make the holes in the shoulders so I can insert the arms. I will cut the wire off at the end of tail, make hole so I can insert the tail fin. One other thing I want to do. Where she is sitting Im going to take clay and make just the design of the foliage because I want her bottom that is resting to look finished and part of her. Im taking the nite off and Im going to go and watch some youtube video's from the event ‪#‎lovesummerart‬. So many amazing artist if you love watching all kinds of art.

Trouble with the forearm here's a tip that might help.

When I started to learn how to sculpt.  I got the books out and I did some studying only to find there way of showing wasn't sinking in LOL.. I put the books down and view just a figure and started to find my own method of seeing shapes.  When I that part sunk in I then started to understand better for myself.  Sometimes by sharing a simple shape that we all know it can open the doors.
Here's a tip or shape I would tell anyone with the forearm.  If you see something different then its right for you. We all are creative and not a written book that says you have to do it one way.

Wanted to share with all of you this part of Lets Make a Mermaid Tail.  I have a ways to go and will keep posting pictures as I move along.

Some tips when sculpting a doll head

Here's some information for beginners. The explanation is typed on to the pictures.  Hope this will help with some insight when sculpting a doll head.

Questions asked about glass beads for doll eyes

Thought I would share this since I have been receiving emails asking questions about the glass bead eye's. Some have said to me what is the tip to drilling the iris in? I use a diamond bit called a burr. Another question was I have but mine doesn't want to really drill the hole what am I doing wrong. Well I really can't say what anyone would be doing wrong but I can give you my experiences. My diamond bit I have never replaced one yet and have used it not just on these glass beads but other things. I found for myself if I went for a little cheaper bit I had trouble. 2nd I found in my researching with glass suppliers that there are different quality of glass beads. Some will say glass but are (plexi glass) then there is acrylic glass. How do you tell what your getting? By the weight and feel. Glass has a feel to it and a heavy weight. As for drilling I found the drilling part not to corporate with the two types of glass I mentioned. When I payed attention to the feel and weight is when the drilling became what the diamond bit is able to do with glass.
So, the next time if you decide to buy glass beads pay attention and make your choices. After I learned there was a difference I was able to tell right away if it were solid glass.

Glass eye going for more iris design

Everything is an adventure along with experimenting. I love the creative world and I know by now to be patient but still lean towards no patients. Only because the creative juices flow strongly at times and could slow down a little LOL. Anyways to show another Glass bead eye Im trying all different ways to get patterns in the iris. This particular one I didn't let the center dry enough and went a little to far LOL. But I have to say I love those mishaps because it has led me to another thought. Hopefully it will be even better and you will get to see it of course. Always learning and always sharing.

Making real Glass eye's

I wanted to share with everyone these pictures of glass eye's that I will be using on a commission.  You will notice I never really stick with one thing Im always traveling around with experiments and just all different ways.  If you haven't watched my tutorial on youtube Lets Make Eye's do so. Because the glass bead is drilled out the same way I showed with the wooden except you will need a diamond burr bit to drill.  Glass beads are not painted the same way I used different transparent paints.

Let's Make Eye's Part Two Final Episode

Part Two is up on my youtube channel and is the final episode. If you haven't watched the first one I suggest you do before the second one here. The first one show's some very important steps that I found for myself in creating a very nice looking eyes for my dolls. Here in these tutorials I'm not using any generated paper for the iris, no femo, not plastic head pins or polymer clay for the eye. I hope you enjoy and will join in with me to create, share and to raise our vibration to align with more creative idea's. Click on the link below.

I'm posting this here because I have been receiving emails that many are experiencing the uv gel wants to pop off easily. You have to remember that the uv gel doesn't really want to adhere to anything that there maybe oil to it. How ever many of you choose to make your eye's consider wiping the inside of the iris with rubbing alcohol. As for my experiences the plastic head pins were the worst for me as the uv gel wanting to bead up on the white part and it would also separate from the inside of the iris wall of the inside of the eye. This is why I found the plastic head pins the uv gel would pop off very easy. I found by making the eye from wooden beads the uv gel adhere's to it so well. And then with that lip I showed in part 1 drilling out and part 2 the two examples of what it looked like without drilling the lip. My drawing isn't the greatest and hope it shows more why you need to make that lip. This way that Im sharing has taken a lot of studying and taking each part of the eye and breaking it down to capture what I wanted in my eye's. Now one more thing to mention. My way is not against anyone else's way because it may work for them and just not me. So, find your way and take it beyond mine. Having an openness in are own selves offers the sharing of art. Art is a creative place to be and when we share we raise the vibration for more idea's to come into existence of who we are and in each other.

I love making steampunk dolls and when I was experimenting I made this eye. Watch my tutorial Lets Make Eye's on my youtube channel to see the most important way to have a beautiful and unlimited to what you can put into the eye. When you have the basic you can make an eye like I did here. If your not a subscriber just type in the search on youtube fairysnmypond.

New toy

Well I think its time to say I have been so interested in the monster high dolls and the face ups.  I have been learning for months now and taking notes of every idea that comes to me.  I have experimented with some mediums and a friend let me try his air brush to see how I could create what Im looking for in my polymer clay dolls.  I have to say as of today I ordered my air brush and it will be my new way of painting my dolls.  So, in my up coming tutorials you will be seeing me air brush.  I am just so excited and can't sit still.  LOL

Showing an up coming tutorial another way to insert eye's I use this for ball jointed dolls

Wanted to share something here with all of you and tried hard to get a real clear pic but its so cloudy here. In this pic Im trying to show you a couple of things. One is another way I set eyes in and is basically a way I will do ball jointed. Second I wanted to show in the picture the foundation I used and what it looks like. Around the eye is raw clay and I thought you could see the difference in color. I will have a tutorial on this technique if you don't have an air brush. The way I applied it is somewhat different then my other way.

Think outside of the box

I wanted to share something with many of you back in art school my teacher gave us a project once a month and it was called Think outside of the box... She would put up a picture of us to all look at and we were all to write an essay and it had to be in story form and instructional of what idea we thought of. This was the biggest eye opener for me and to observe all the different idea's and thought patterns we all had over the same picture. Then the teacher picked the one she felt would be a great challenge for all of us and we had to take the idea and create it. It was also amazing to see all the different ways everyone created. Some were alike and many were different. Then the teacher said something that stuck with me and till this day I carry it on to others. She said now you see a picture and you all were to have thoughts about it. Then you were to go and create it. The question is do you feel you own your thoughts? Do you feel your the only one that can have a creative thought and no one else can have your thought. And if someone had one of your creative thoughts would you then feel like they took your idea? Well hopefully we all the know the answer to it all we really don't own any thought its already out there.
Today giving a class we had think out side of the box. Now I can't wait for all of us to play the game. Even me too!!! This is expansion and growth in your own self and art. I have taken many class's along time ago and sadly to say many teachers in a class just teach what your going to make. They don't go beyond the project and find the story form.. I found with great teachers that went further and outside of the project we learned so much and more then if we were to just sit there and watch the teacher show the steps and then you follow. I want to thank my students for giving me the opportunity to expand with myself.

View pictures below. This wig was made for my commission fashion doll tutorial and I will have the tutorial on my youtube art channel soon.

I wanted to share something with my youtube followers. It was back in the early 2000 when I had been an active seller with Ebay. At that time polymer clay dolls were getting noticed and at a rapid pace. I feel very blessed I had fallen into an era of time selling my work and becoming noticed to my buyers. As I was making my dolls I was taking a lot of what I had learned with porcelain dolls and applying it to polymer so things went relatively easy for me. There were some techniques and products that everyone seemed to be doing and using but I wasn’t comfortable and I was having to figure out how to do things different and feel good and secure with my own way and one of them I want to share with you is applying hair to your dolls. It bothered me so much to be taking hair and just sticking onto the dolls head. I just never liked the technique and felt it was a sloppy job.. I even took a dolls head and I drilled tiny holes throughout the whole head and then inserted small strands of hair into the holes. It worked wonderfully but took forever lol. So, I went back to gluing the hair back onto the dolls head. Every time I did I felt again it was sloppy and I need to do it different. So, I made a wig cap and I sewed strands of hair onto the wig cap and then glued it all on to the dolls head. It took some time but I felt much better but I didn’t follow through with every doll. Sometimes glued then others I made the wig cap and sewed the hair on to the cap.
I had an auction up and I had several new buyers email me and they were asking how I was applying the hair. Well the doll I had up was one that I made a wig cap and I told the buyer the truth it was hair sewing on a wig cap and then glued on the head. I also mentioned sometimes I just glue the hair to the dolls head with very good glue. She said this to me and it’s when I decided to go with a way that felt right to me and I had been on a right track. She said, many dolls she had purchased the hair was falling off by strands and she didn’t want to buy anymore dolls if their hair was glued onto the head she wanted the hair to be secured better. I totally understood what she was saying and at that time many people were coming into sculpting and selling and they were using glues that weren't holding up so that caused a problem with buyers trusting the product. So, that alone made me think more and I realized again that my thinking had been leading me with a better product.
There are many different ways to making wig caps and rooting but you just need to practice and see what is more interesting and enjoyable to making. And many of you may always use glue and that is what’s comfortable to you not saying here it’s wrong. For people that are new to this world of sculpting just make sure if you choose to apply hair strands with glue your using very good glue.

How I smooth my clay

Okay everyone thank you to my utube subscribers for your beautiful and many emails. So, your liking the tips. Alright here is one for today. Since I work with a very firm clay I don't have as much smoothing ability with my clay as most people do. Here is a tip that I truly cherish so much. View the pictures they will explain then decide if you would like to try it. If you don't like it then cook with it I love it and its so healthy. Also I use it for and eye cream and face. My hands to because the polymer clay tends to dry my hands out a lot. So, when I go to bed is when I use it not the day Im sculpting. Only if Im needing to smooth my clay.
