Silicone baby doll - inserting a full body armature

[@tamibell4325]

Wow! I was wondering how in the world you were going to cover all of the cuts, seams. You did a beautiful job! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work! I had a reborn and have no idea where he is! Someone took him and I'll never know. I would love to see how they are painted and hair plugged. Again, beautiful job!❤

[@dianneconte9494]

I’ve been wondering how armatures are put in silicone babies. I had no idea all that is involved! I loved this video. Thank you!

[@karliechardi2229]

This was fascinating to watch. Started looking like a flesh bag. Then the armature gave him better dimension/ realism. Beginning you're right it's not for the faint of heart. What's funny is you kept calling him a blank so I was thinking the baby was supposed a eunuch. Which obviously it wasn't lol. I know you said he's being sent to his mom/artist... So obviously painting will be done, and that's what you meant by him being a blank. And I understood. Just my mind frame playing on words. Beautifully well done❤ ! Especially cleaning up the seam.

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Sorry yes sometimes I forget some viewers don't know what I mean. I sculpt and mould and cast the babies myself, some I go on to paint and root and sell as finished babies, some I sell as 'blank kits' which are the flesh coloured blank babies which another artist will paint and root etc.

[@snugglebugreborns]

Thank you for sharing!! A lot of artist are so reluctant on sharing tips and tricks. I have learned a lot from your videos!!

I like when you have no clothes on your body so I can tell you what to play with on your body

[@kortneykennedy7303]

Play with your hair AND YOUR FACE AND YOUR

[@moonbeam8487]

Wow what an amazing job you did. I always thought that the wire was put inside of the mold before it was set.

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

It’s possible some do it that way but I don’t know how you would do it xx

[@isabeanieboos5342]

⁠​⁠@@CarolynDoughtyDollsThere might be a tutorial for it somewhere. I seems like it might be easier. I have seen someone do it befor, so maybe search putting armature in silicone doll. I saw it in a shorts video, and you might actually want to search pouring a silicone doll, because I think that is what I searched I think. ❤Jesus loves you so much!❤ I hope you find this comment helpful!

[@InesBabyreborn]

So cute 🥰Bisous de France

[@lindaatkinsthibodeaux7650]

When u were saying where to get the aluminum wire i thought u said "muggle shops". LMAO I had to go back and turn the volume up and listen very well to hear " model shops".... Too funny...😂😂😂

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

OMG is that what I said. I do mumble sometimes I'm sorry. Its not easy to work and talk at the same time so I just pretend there is a friend sitting beside me and we are working away together and I'm showing my friend what I'm doing. So I sometimes find I'm mumbling. xx

[@rissagirl1969]

Thank you so much for sharing. Always very educational and helpful. You did an amazing job on him and congrats to his mommie.❤

[@sambetta21]

wow armatures are a lot of work . I have watched you since the first silicone you made and you are amazing such beautiful work you put out. Thank you for all the great videos !

[@dorothymckenzie7027]

Amazing job with inserting the amature.. It was really interesting to see how they are placed in a silicone doll. I really appreciate your platform.

[@SillyConeBaby]

Just incredible. I've not seen this process before. You've come a long way! It's been years since I've tuned into your channel. 🎉

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Awww welcome back xx

[@lindastowars7346]

WOW - SO GLAD I GOT TO WATCH YOU DO THIS, AMAZING. I WOULD BE AFRAID TO MESS UP BUT I AM SURE THIS IS NOT YOUR FIRST RODEO. GREAT JOB, WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT NEEDLE AND THREAD WOULD COME INTO THE PICTURE (NOT ME)

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Hehe yes I think I'm the only one to use this technique lol

[@jwells991]

I would love to watch this whole doll start to finish.. for years I wanted to learn to do this and recently at 47 I’m completely disabled and would love to do this to keep me busy 😢

[@BJKage]

I hear you, tried to paint them, but got no feeling for the colors. But at 49 completely disabled, barely able to walk my dog around the house, I´d love to do it too.

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

to @jwells991 and @BJKage, I do an online course if you really wanted to learn how to make these dolls, go to www.siliconemagic.com. The painting course is free, but you can also learn how to sculpt, mould, and cast your own silicone baby dolls.

[@MaryWeaver-zy9tl]

This was so interesting!! Loved it. I had no idea how this was done.!! Long process but looks great!❤😊

[@lindseybevis1980]

Thankyou so much for sharing - everything seems less daunting once I have watched your videos!

[@allmytinywondersnursery180]

OMGosh. Amazing. As for myself, I like without the armatures. This was most fascinating

[@rubybailey3197]

Thanks for letting us see how you insure the armour. I enjoy watching your video 🥰❤

[@sheilagarrido8204]

Thank you!!!!! That is definitely an art and a skill. I don't think I'd want to try that myself but it was very interesting 🎉❤Thank you for sharing🌹😘

[@rosemaryrolfe5050]

Oh Carolyn wow thats amazing you are a master at your craft, you are tempting me to try another baby. thank you.

Spectaculaire ! On peut comprendre le prix demandé pour ces chefs-d'oeuvre !

[@daphneshaw3881]

You have done amazing job he looks perfect love him ❤ 😊❤

[@Maria-db9yb]

Wouldn’t it be easier to just put in the amateur inside the mold prior to pouring it?… or is there a reason why it is done this way?

[@BJKage]

That´s what I thought so.

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

I've replied to same question above, will paste here: The mould is all one piece, like a rubber glove with a seam down the back. Imagine putting a wire armature inside a rubber glove that is filled with liquid silicone and trying to stop it touching the edge of the glove, to stay in the middle and not sink or move - very difficult to do. I would suggest almost impossible. But thanks for the suggestion xx

Absolutely fascinating watch Carolyn! I've always wondered how the armature is inserted in silicone baby dolls. You're exceptionally talented 🙂 Thanks for sharing! 🙂

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Thank you so much!

[@feliciamrobles8980]

That’s amazing how you do this ❤your amazing artist

[@dona4him942]

I'm wondering if the flesh would tear if you stitched the baby side to side from the inside, out like the way a surgeon might do, and then still use the glue to hold it all in place? Just an idea...❤

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Not quite sure but think that is too complex for me lol

[@henapou6]

Que gran trabajo!, gracias por compartir.

[@stopmo01]

What kind of liquid do you use with the fan brush to smooth out the silicone?

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

It’s just whatever solvent you use to thin your silicone for painting, I use Bob Ross Thinners bit you can use Novocs or Naptha or any other solvent like SAM OSS

[@didismith7682]

Thank you for sharing this, ive only got one sil baby and ive made mistakes that ive learned from and hopefully wont make again . I did put armatures just in arms and legs by using a very long needle but your way seems so much better so now im going to attempt this again for I've wanted a full body armature but i didnt know how to do it, i thought maybe full body armatures were inside the mold, also i love your softer silicone, mine is tougher, i pray I'll be able to pull the old out and now do full armatures thks to your tutorial...blessings from U.S.A DIDI@S'MILES REBORNS❤❤❤❤ p.s. now I'll need a curved scapel, where did you get yours from, sorry so long

[@kandydewey1286]

What a wonderful work! I'm deeply impressed. You are the greatest artist ever. Thank you so much for sharing your precious work! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AlejandroLopez-cj5in]

After washing, do you apply a layer of silicone or do you start painting? Thank you

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

after fixing and washing I just start painting usually. Occasionally I paint a very thin layer of diluted transparent silicone, depends on the kit

[@AlejandroLopez-cj5in]

Good afternoon. I would like to know if you put a layer of the same silicone on it before painting when you have washed it. Greetings. Thank you

[@LivyLegends]

its so satisfying seeing how these are made

[@deevettos5703]

I was trying to workout why you were warning us about this being a doll. Then you made the first cut and I almost throw up. Even un painted that baby doll looked real. I hope one day to be a reborn artist and I really appreciate you sharing your talents and skills with people like myself. 😀

[@Kinzer-c4y]

Ty for teaching me how to put armatures now I know how to make a silicone baby ❤

[@JayneHartnett]

Very interesting. Is there a reason why the armature isn’t put in the mold when you pour the silicone? That would be a whole lot easier. No?

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

[@sprhtiger]

Hi Carolyn, I have never seen this type of thing before, but I have always been Interested in these type of dolls. By the way you are amazing how you work too, you opened up that windows into those beautiful magic dolls really to show how they really work. 😊 I was wondering if you sell these and if so, you probably mentioned it in your video but I had a lot of interruptions while watching it, sorry if you did. How much and at what stage is the doll. Is the doll complete or incomplete please? I'm in Australia my name is Shan Hunter it was very nice to meet you Carolyn 😊❤ you have a glorious day.

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Hi there Shan, yes I do sell the babies both as blank kits (for people to paint and root themselves) and as finished babies. I usually have a bit of a list so I take pre orders for 12 months ahead and it means the customer can pay off over a longer period. My website is www.carolyndoughtydolls.com if interested xx

[@Alejandra.151]

wow what a job! I've seen it all and how it turned out in the end is impressive! I congratulate you!

[@barbblake8697]

I want a Molly Doll, full silicone. Moveable. Where can I get one? and how much?

[@debst.george4437]

Amazing job, I love this! Funny.... Doughty is an old family name. I wonder if by some chance we're related. Whatever your amazing. ❤🎉🫂❄️☃️🤶🎅🎄💗

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Doughty is the name I acquired from my second husband, he was from the north east of England where it’s more common around there. I’ve since remarried but for the doll business I kept that name beciase people know me by that name but my married name is now Gibson. You may find if you have the same name in your family that it may also have originated in the North East of England, around Newcastle/Durham way, I think it may also have some popularity in Ireland.

crazy how real looking silicone is...

[@DanmarArenas]

Baby Is cute 😍😊

[@jillcrapo7159]

Wow! Very interesting. One question, where can you get the silicon baby in the first place with out the wire structure? Do you pour it yourself, or do you purchase from somewhere? I am excited to see what it looks like after you pull the stitching!!

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Yes it is one of my own dolls so I sculpted, mouded and cast it myself. I am not sure I would be as confident cutting into someone else's work lol

[@monicabou75]

Hello, I can't get the paint to stick to the silicone baby, how do I get it? thank you

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

all sorts of reasons for this, could be the silicone that the baby is cast in (some cheap kits coming from china are cast in a cheaper quality tin silicone which is not compatible with platinum silicone paints) or could be the materials you are using (the type of paint, or the sponges etc, if they contain something that the platinum silicone is not compatible with like latex, it will affect the cure or how it sticks) or could be that the kit hasnt been cleaned thoroughly and there is still some release agent on it from the mould which would stop the paint sticking. A good quality kit from a respected artist will be thoroughly fixed and cleaned and ready to paint. Lots of reasons. But if it is a cheap kit and a harder silicone it it probably the siilcone the doll is poured in.

[@monicabou75]

Thank you, I think I didn't clean it properly, thank you for answering, I really like all your work.

[@ScarlettRebekahCarter]

Absolutely amazing! You're so clever x

[@reaborns2017]

So eye opening! Thank you sooo much for this!❤❤❤❤

[@reckenralph8282]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!! Could this method work for a doll that has already been painted? I can repaint

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

It would need some patching up - you can see how much needs fixing over the seam, but if you are prepared to do a lot of patching up and matching up the paint colours then you could do.

[@Lurning-disability]

Would be creepy to watch on fully painted doll

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

OMG yes, I would never attempt that lol

[@dawnwatkins6554]

Too bad the silicone can't be poured around the doll skeleton. This putting it in after looks like you could easily ruin the doll. 😢

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

@@dawnwatkins6554 That would seem to be simpler but in practical terms almost impossible. Yes you certainly do need to be confident in working with the silicone, but as I sculpt and pour my own dolls there is less risk than for someone who has paid a lot of money for a blank baby, certainly.

[@dawnwatkins6554]

@@CarolynDoughtyDolls I looked up doll skeletons and found that there are plastic jointed "bones" that look like they could be suspended within a mold before pouring it. I'm not a reborner, but it looks like it would be easier to do then what I watched you doing for over an hour yesterday. 😔

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]
