She's really cute. I love how you explain in the video. It's easy to understand.

[@bananadolls]

Thank youuuu I'm so glad to hear that! 😁

[@ocean.wxvess]

Wow! You need to have a full time job customizing icy dolls! These are amazing! Major applause for these

[@bananadolls]

Thank you!!! Maybe I should get some to customize and put up for adoption 😁

[@silviacoser5419]

Amazing!! Tks for sharing, she’s so cute ❤️

[@bananadolls]

Thank you so much! 😍

[@lordreptah]

Your dolls are really incredible. The amount of work and patience and skill! Wow! I was so excited to see a new vid from you haha. And not only that, your editing killed me too lol

[@bananadolls]

Thank you!!! I actually studied audiovisuals long ago, I'm getting familiar with editing again! 😁

[@NattyVi]

So cute ❤ you're amazing, girl!!! Best doll customizer in Argentina, always surpass yourself🌸❤

[@bananadolls]

Gracias chula 😆😍

[@mateusdasilva6955]

I was thinking about getting an Icy doll but wasn’t sure, you really convinced me to, your art is so amazing!!! please keep posting!!! one of the few (and my favorite so far) Blythe/Pullip/Icy artists on youtube!!!!!!!

[@bananadolls]

Thank you so much!! Icy dolls are very nice too, at first they may seem weird, specially their lips, but their differences with Blythe dolls make them special! It's like they have their own personality, and when customized they can be very pretty!

[@mateusdasilva6955]

Miss Choricienta Thank you so much for the tip!!!

[@SaraA92]

She is so beautiful!

[@bananadolls]

Thank you!!! ❤️❤️

[@Cillias14]

Amazing doll, awesome video! Really liked the funny little edits you threw in there! :)

[@bananadolls]

Thank youuuuu!! Since all the videos end up being long, I'm trying to put some fun in them 😆

[@FunkyVNote]

Would love to se some body shading/contouring on the dolls as well since the faces are so beautifully detailed. Like to balance it out if you know what I mean? Love the dolls I’ve seen so far! The faces, the clothes and the styling is all gorgeous 😍

[@bananadolls]

Thank you!!! 😍 I have never done body blushing on a Blythe 🤔 only on bjds! But I will start a Blythe soon that will have tattoos 😁

[@AlejandraMVillarroel]

Mi bebita !! La amo!! FRAN 💕

[@bananadolls]

Sé que la quieren mucho por allá! 😍

[@lindydiddle6253]

Super cute doll! I love her 😊💕

[@bananadolls]

Thank you!! 💓💓💓

[@tinaag]

How did you make the doll's face looking so matte? I bought one with glossy face, I'd like to mak it look matte too.

[@michaelreichson1280]

With a light sandpaper. ♥

[@bananadolls]

With a light sandpaper, yes! But sanding her will remove her make up. If you want to keep her factory makeup but make her matte, you'll have to take her apart and spray her face with a matt sealant, such as MSC, which is the common one for this! 2 or 3 light layers will do!

[@seaseagold]

So beautiful! 💕💕

[@bananadolls]

Thank youuuuuuuu! ❤️

[@ceetheninja1]

Hi! This is great! How do you erase the eyebrows after putting MSC? I did some work and when it was done, I wasn't satisfied with it and I want to change it. Please help :)

[@bananadolls]

I never spray until I'm 100% satisfied 😁 I erased the pencil lines with a bit of water, as it wasn't fixed yet!

[@wanderingmotherearth3862]

Can I please ask - I’d love to make one for myself. What are the tools I would need ? As well as makeup etc ? xx

[@bananadolls]

To start you would need some carving tools (the dremel makes things easier, but it's not necessary), watercolor pencils, chalk pastels, some brushes, and the most important, a sealant! I have liquid sealants and I apply them with an airbrush, but you can use spray sealants, such as MSC for example. I put links to the materials I use on the description box 😁

[@Bfansforever]

Que linda me encantó! Cuanto talento 💓

[@bananadolls]

Muchas gracias!! 😍

[@lilithskyblue]

Interesting. Are you adding any putty? Or are your carving just the existing plastic of the face?

[@bananadolls]

No putty on this one! You can add up, I usually use epoxy clay, but only in particular cases. This girl only has the existing plastic carved 😁

[@ACarewornSketchbook]

Is MSC (Mister Super Clear) hard to use? Any tips? I'm wanting to get into customizing Blythe dolls, but I'm worried about the sealant spray as I hear it is very toxic.

[@bananadolls]

Its is quite toxic! And you don't realize it as you spray, because of its sweet smell 🤣 always wear protection and spray outside! It's not hard, just use very light layers, don't get the head wet with spray, and spray about 30cm away from it. Also avoid using it if the weather is too cold or too humid, it might leave white spots or a weird finish 😦

[@faithdiaz9831]

How do you prepare the face to begin painting. Do you do something to the face before adding colors

[@bananadolls]

First it's a lot of sanding, which goes along with the carving process, and then 2 or 3 layers of sealant, to protect the plastic and to create a nicer surface for the paint to stick 😊 I put some text on the video explaining this, it's small on the top.

[@faithdiaz9831]

@@bananadolls thank you for answering my question I am looking forward to doing my first painting and this really helps

[@hildaalintria7484]

So cool😁

[@bananadolls]

Thank you ❤️

[@Hmoobgai]

Very nice work

[@bananadolls]

Thank you 😊

[@minamodbot9729]

Hello, I love your carving of the lips 👄. I wanted to ask, why do you carve the eye holes? Thank you !

[@bananadolls]

Thank you!! I do that so the lids have enough space to move and don't get scratched once I put them back! I damaged newly painted lids so many times, I learned the hard way 😁

[@vichykynthos3024]

Sigo insistiendo que tenes magia en mas manos!

[@bananadolls]

Graaacias!! 💓

[@muadon]

Preciosa!🥰

[@bananadolls]

Gracias!! 😍

[@sofiamenendezgomez857]

Que lindísimo

[@bananadolls]

Gracias!!! 😁

[@marinaplatiblackdyingrose3412]

this is original blythe?? i want to buy one from aliexpress... but iam not sure for the quality

[@bananadolls]

No, it's not! Most of the dolls I use are from aliexpress!! Just make sure the hair looks abundant, and if it's a jointed body, that it is NOT shiny. There are many sellers with awesome quality! There are differences with original dolls, though, the faces are different, it's not very noticeable at first, but with time you do see it 😊

[@darkthornroseheart7897]

Question what if you don't have a dremmel? Am I tottaly screwed

[@bananadolls]

Not much! Dremel just makes it easier and faster, but you can totally do it with plain carving tools 😊

[@talitakharys3104]

A Blythe é linda, feminina, doce e legal! É uma boneca ideal, para brincar-se de moda e estilo, e design infantil, pois, é ótima para guiar o estilismo e modelagem infantil! A arte de customizar ou estilizar esculpindo ou não, ou montando peças, adereços e estilos, é muito importante, pois, reflete a figura humana de mudar-se, ser transformado por Jesus e viver a mudança de Jesus, que é orquestrada pelo Espírito Santo! Jesus é um camaleão! Jesus é um Blyth boy, em pessoa e adora crescer e renovar-se! Nada de ficar desgastado e ser deixado para trás, bola p'ra frente, tá na hora de crescer e renovar-se! Show up!

[@bananadolls]

Gracias! 😁

[@Gatico.Abanico]

Como haces los párpados?

[@bananadolls]

Colores base con aerógrafo, y dibujines con pincel 😊

[@BJDBeautifullyJaggedDolls]

I can relate. When I did my video, I removed the head and the body fell off. I thought I broke it..LOL You can view it here, kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIikZniErZ5gn6s

[@bananadolls]

It happens from time to time 🤣 body parts like to fly!

[@lauren1352]

One thing i dont like about those kind of doll is that their heas i a bit too big, i get it, is a chibi doll, but even chibis have their proporcions and that head is way too big for that tiny body

[@bananadolls]

I don't really think they're chibi, they're really out of proportion, and to be honest, the shape of the head is weird 😆 I actually used to think they were so ugly when I first saw them, and now I love them! I love all the posibilities they offer! They are an acquired taste 😆

[@lanamania7094]

So cool 😁
