Custom BLYTHE Doll #6 Sculpting experiment! Customised Sad Faceplate - How To - Milliput - Tutorial

I'm so excited to be sculpting a Blythe face plate again. I get experimental with Milliput (It's like Apoxie) and add to the face, creating a sad expression! Let me know what you think of her in the comments!

Uff. She's so expressive. I normally don't like sad dolls, but I have to say she's the first one.

[@BethRamsden]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@citradolls8869]

She turned out so beautiful 😍 I can’t believe she’s only number 6! Amazing 🤩

[@BethRamsden]

Aww thank you! Yes only 6 so far! I do have a few more girls patiently waiting their turn for a makeover 😉

[@jamesmodlin6279]

This was enormously helpful. Thank you.

Thank you Danielle! I do love her sad little face! 😌

[@lindydiddle6253]

She’s lovely! Wonderful sculpting! I love sad faces on my Blythe dolls.

[@BethRamsden]

Thank you! Yes I see some incredible scenes that people pose and share on Instagram, with such a variety of expressions on customised faces...the sad ones are always my favourite too!

[@BethRamsden]

Thank you Lissa! I was really prepared for it to not work out, but was happy with the results in the end! ^_^

[@blackbarlow408]

Great work, and great explanation! The expression makes me think she's crying! It might be cool to make a crying one using the same gloss varnish as you used on the lips

[@BethRamsden]

That's a really great idea! Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it! ✨😁✨

I really like her! Milliput is tricky to work with sometimes. If she were mine I might give her a hairstyle that has a fringe just at that little line. Beautiful job though! Your video is very well done to!

[@BethRamsden]

Thank you so much! Yes it'll definitely be a skill that takes more practice for me, but I had a lot of fun with her! ^_^

Excellent! I definitely recommend the spare face plates from AliExpress for getting experimental with ^_^ Hope you have lots of fun with it!!

[@winstonchaychel]

SOOOO CUTE! I think she came out beautifully. Ok, for blending I can only offer a video for automobile restoration. I know it sounds like insanity, but trust the process right? They use many grit sandpapers, working from the roughest to the smoothest and wet sanding. It takes a while, but I think that might help! (ChrisFix is a good one. Look for his body restoration) Always love your videos, thank you so much 💜

[@BethRamsden]

Thank you!! Oh that’s a really great tip thanks!! Yes it’s absolutely a transferable kind of skill, they need to blend in bodywork patches perfectly, I will check him out 😄 Thank You for watching! 🤩

[@lindasullivan2714]

This inspires me to try the molding myself. I’m also thinking of getting an airbrush ( but not sure which kind to buy).

[@BethRamsden]

Ooh exciting! I just updated the links in my FAQ (link in description) to include my newest airbrush, check it out! ^_^

[@BethRamsden]

Thank you! I’m about to try another milliput modified head, excited to get into it! ✨😄✨

[@tracytroyer4996]

I want to try this!!! You make it look so do-able. Do you have to have lessons for the airbrush? What brand do you use?

[@BethRamsden]

Yeah you should totally give it a try!! This airbrush is just a cheap one (about £60 including the air compressor) it’s fairly straightforward but I haven’t been using it very long honestly 😅 No idea of brand names sorry! I feel like I trust it more than a spray can, and can ‘dilute’ just what I need when I need it 😊 Thank you for watching!!

[@letstalkaboutitwithjaime]

i love her

[@BethRamsden]

Awww 🥰 I’m so glad I didn’t wreck her! 😅

[@tracytroyer4996]

I am gathering supplies to try my own face plate. I'm going to try for a mischievous expression.

[@naushky]

Большое спасибо за информацию С наступающим Новым годом! From LPR😉

[@BethRamsden]

Спасибо за просмотр! Рад, что вам понравилось! ^_^

[@RagdollCreative]

Ah she looks brilliant! Do you recommend the woodcarving tools? if so, where did you get them? thanks so much for sharing your work!

[@BethRamsden]

Thank you very much!! Yes I really enjoyed using them, though there is (always) a risk of accidental gouging, they were slower paced and a lot less messy (dusty?) than using the rotary tool. I bought mine from Hobbycraft (UK) but I've seen what looks like the same thing on Amazon & eBay. I tend to obsessively research things before I buy, and I worried about getting a good quality set, but these came with a sharpening stone (which I used before I began carving), and as an amateur I found them comfortable to use! ^_^ Hope it helps!

[@RagdollCreative]

@@BethRamsden yes I can imagine! I have a selection of riffler files which I use with my little rotary tool. I have also seen customisers use rounded scalpels for carving but the wood tools seem a little safer! I will have a look in hobby craft - thank you!

[@Jsuistacams]

hello, you did an amazing job! I was wondering what brand of paint and what color reference do you use to paint her complexion ? Sorry for my English i’m french 😅

[@BethRamsden]

Thank you! I have descriptions and links to most of the things I use regularly here in my FAQ: bethramsden.com/faq As for reference, I suppose my experience as a portrait painter means it's kind of built in to me now, but if you create a kind of mood board, of other dolls that you like the look of, you can use them as your reference. I hope that helps! Please feel free to ask any more questions ^_^

Complimenti è bellissima .. e dici di non essere esperta ! 🌸

Grazie mille per la visione! Sono felice che ti sia piaciuta ^_^

[@sabinecarpentier7255]

Didn’t understand about the craving tools . Are you using wood hand craving tools or other tools? Thanks

[@BethRamsden]

Yes they are carving tools intended for use on wood. They are a very basic set, and have a small variety of blade shapes. 😊

[@BethRamsden]

Thank you! No, I just like to share through these videos 😊 I do have more customising videos in a playlist though if you’re interested!

[@serenata1736]

You are so talented! Are you ambidextrous? I noticed that although you primarily used your left hand, you also do some carving and things with your right.

[@BethRamsden]

Yes 😅 I’m not sure why, but I write and draw left handed, but play guitar, use scissors and sew right handed! I don’t think I realised as I was growing up, it’s weird! 🤪 Thank you! 😊

[@serenata1736]

@@BethRamsden Well it is very handy to be able to use both hands! I could have done with that ability when my right arm and hand was at its worst... When I used to do gymnastics I used to lead with my left arm and leg, but that was about it. I did try and teach myself to draw left handed but that was unsuccessful, although I could swap hands when playing badminton which was handy!

[@anneaeves]

Thanks Beth! What airbrush did you use for this? Torn on which I should buy.

[@BethRamsden]

It was just a really basic airbrush that came with the air compressor, no brand name on it. Hubby just got a better quality airbrush for Christmas but we haven't tried it yet 😆

[@tracytroyer4996]

How long does it take for the milliput to dry?

[@BethRamsden]

Hi! It’s about 3-4 hours but depends on the environment 😊

[@samwright8599]

I'm temped so badly to do this as I have a doll I've had dis assembled for years(I went through a lot and she just sat in a box for years.❤

Ahh yes, might be a little cathartic to put her together again?

[@mimi2322]

What brushes are you using (the turquoise colour ones)? This is so inspiring!

[@BethRamsden]

Thank you so much! 😊 Those are actually make-up brushes, they’re soft and rounded, perfect for applying and blending pastels 😁

[@mimi2322]

@@BethRamsden oh! Brilliant! They are so pretty! Thanks for the quick reply!

[@yasmeensabir6811]

What is the white clay that you used? Is it available in the US?

[@BethRamsden]

It’s milliput, a two part epoxy compound. There is a similar thing called Apoxie Sculpt you can look for too. I’m in the UK, so not sure what’s available where you are 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@marjorieaton-jeong7730]

What to use for shiny lips?

[@BethRamsden]

You can use a glossy varnish on the lips to give them a wet look 😄

[@jasmineuzumaki3327]

Do you spray varnish outside ?

[@BethRamsden]

Yes you can if you have a safe place to do so, but I now have a special airbrushing booth with ventilation that sucks particulates and fumes through a tube that goes outside, if I’m spraying MSC varnish then I still wear a proper mask as well indoors! Thanks for watching 😊

[@ariichel9738]

Question if I have a Blythe doll that has a Matte face can I still sculpt it?

[@BethRamsden]

Yes definitely! You will have to re-seal/varnish the face after sculpting anyway. You can use matte or gloss spray depending on your preference 😁

[@ariichel9738]

@@BethRamsden ohh okay! Thank you sm also would there be a demonstration video on doing that? I’m quite a beginner 😅

what brand of pencil to make these dolls do you recommend me.?

They should be watercolour pencils, and the kind I use myself are Faber-Castell ‘Goldfaber-Aqua’ ☺️🖌️🎨

[@tvfilmesseriesof354]

@@BethRamsden Thanks !!!you are so fantastic 🥰

[@iamdanandiamdan]

What colour did you use for the paint?

[@BethRamsden]

I mixed up lots of different colours of acrylic paint until I got a good match - I can give some examples, although shades will vary from brand to brand! - Buff Titanium, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber, Cadmium Red. Hope that helps! ^_^

[@manwol8718]

May i know what varnish you use? Tysm!

[@BethRamsden]

Yes! It's Vallejo Premium Airbrush Matte varnish - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284746457791?hash=item424c3622bf:g:mW0AAOSwL0tiS9k~ It's very good, but if you're using an airbrush anyway, you might as well use Mr Color Super Clear which is what I now use, you'll find links here in my FAQ for that ^_^ bethramsden.com/faq

Buenas se me metió en la cabeza hacer dentro de algún tiempo(que tenga más experiencia) hacer a Emily "la novia cadáver.

Good, it got into my head to do in some time (that I have more experience) make Emily "the corpse bride". Obviously I will need an airbrush, can you recommend one that is not very expensive, just to use it with the dolls. Thank you very much beforehand

[@BethRamsden]

Gracias! ¡Oh, eso sería tan hermoso de ver! En su lugar, puede usar pasteles regulares y un pincel grande y suave para aplicar su color. También he visto a personas que usan Pan Pastels (¡pero creo que son bastante caros!) En cuanto a un aerógrafo, realmente no tengo experiencia, este es el único que he usado: es de mi esposo y era bastante barato. razonable, no creo que necesites algo sofisticado para comenzar a usarlo. ^_^ Thank you! Oh, that would be so beautiful to see! Instead, you can use regular pastels and a large, soft brush to apply your color. I've also seen people use Pan Pastels (but I think they're pretty expensive!) As for an airbrush, I really have no experience, this is the only one I've ever used - it's my husband's and it was pretty cheap. reasonable, I don't think you need anything fancy to start using it. ^_^

[@123deniss]

What are you mixing milliput with?

[@BethRamsden]

Milliput is a two part compound, so the two parts combine to start the hardening process. It is mixed with itself 😊
