[@dothebunnyhop4026]

You're one of the few artists that have inspired me to make my own artdolls! I've made about 5 testers, and they were successful enough for me to consider opening up my own shop. It's become a passion, including all my favorite artsy things into one creature (sculpting, sewing, painting). You've seriously helped me grow as an artdoll maker! ❤

[@simra22]

5?! Wow, I've been procrastinating my SECOND! 💙 Good luck!

Honestly getting that daily reminder to just do it and start the project I’ve been thinking of really helps. Life has just had me beat and I’ve lost motivation to start stuff but hearing how reassuring you are has me feeling like I can start and tackle any project that’s on my mind!!!!! These bats look amazing I hope to get as good as you someday !

I totally understand that feeling and this year especially has been a hard one so it’s a reminder to me as much as it is to everyone else. You got this 💙💙

I loved every bat but that monarch bat was something else! It was so stunningly beautiful, one video and you're already an inspiration for me!

The monarch ended ip taking the most time but is also my favorite as well I’ll definitely have to bring it back sometime 🥰

Oh my god. These made me almost weep. I had a black kitty and I always called him my little bat - his eyes, almost always, were only his black pupils. These look such much like him.

[@redfeatheredreptile]

These are amazing and so lifelike! I love that one at the end with lace wings... i vote more dolls with lace. Only way i can think that would make this cooler is tiny pose-able feet with instamorph claws, perhaps? Flying-foxes have remarkably long and spindly toes. Its adorable and creepy.

[@erintoal2018]

This is by far may favourite video. I love all the different bats and how unique each one is. I want them all!!!

[@Tunanunaa]

That nice long tool you used for stuffing is called a hemostat! It’s actually a medical tool used to clamp arteries during surgeries to stop bleeding, but it has several uses for sewing too. You can usually find them pretty cheaply, but if you don’t have them needlenose pliers work just as well.

[@nefariousvii5255]

I have always loved your style of creation and crafting, you're just so motivational, satisfying and lovely to watch in my free time, I still very much enjoy your videos! ^^

[@TheMetatronGirl]

That tool is a curved Kelly hemostat. Super handy tool to have. Your bats are so cool!! I really love them all. Thank you for sharing this video! Love, light and blessings to you and yours. Additional surgical tools that are very helpful for crafting: Straight Kelly, straight tips Curved or straight Mosquito, smaller version of the Kelly Alligator clamp, big hefty version of a Kelly There are tons of other instruments that are incredibly useful... google surgical instruments, then find your favorites!

I think they are Haemostats (I couldn't see if they locked together or not). If so they are also used for medical stuff as well. I really LOVE the way you painted the white and pink bat. It looks so elegant and lifelike (the others are great too but that one is my fave!)

[@tea_tenegrimm]

Awwww! Those are absolutely too cute! Makes me wanna buy or try making one myself! I might be mistaken, but I believe the tool you were using are called forceps. They're usually used for more medical related tasks, but honestly, it is rather clever how you use them to stuff a body. I normally see people just use a straw or pencil and just cram it in there.

[@KaypeaCreations]

The forceps give me more control and are more forceful in getting the stuffing in the right spot 🙂

[@asunayuki5615]

They turned out great! I love bats! 🧙🏻‍♀️🦇💞 Just a short question: why don't you paint the heads before connecting the fur to the wire? In this way there would be no risk of getting black paint on e.g. white fabric that is attached directly behind the head. Would be great if you answered 🥰

[@KaypeaCreations]

Thanks! Since I normally airbrush everything the airbrush covers any paint I may of gotten on the fur and I also do it this way as sometimes I airbrush the clay head when airbrushing the fur so I won’t paint it beforehand as it may not match up as well :)

Yay! Was on a short five-day vacation and came back to this! Bats are one of my favorite animals! But question because this may be the answer to how I can do my dragon's wings: how did you do the fingers that weren't on the edge? Did you just pinch the fabric over them?

As mentioned in the video once the first main wire is sewn I pinch the fabric over the other “fingers” and sew it together :)
