Getting Started Carving the Lips of a Custom Blythe Doll

[@brokebebe]

finally a tutorial with some explanations. thank you so much it was very helpful ❤

[@neptune2404]

Thank you for the video! It made carving on dolls less scarier!

[@kimbo3635]

So fascinating! Really fun to watch your process. The word you are using to describe the plumpness of the lips is actually “voluptuous”. No lump in the middle. 😉 And the indentation above the top lip is called a Cupid’s Bow. I hope you don’t think I’m an annoying smarty pants! Just sharing some little knowledge tidbits.✌🏿

[@BeBeDolls]

I don't think anyone has made videos of the process...I'm hoping to try it soon and will share what I learn here. :D

[@Jinxitor]

@@BeBeDolls Looking forward to see what you make in the future! :D

[@courtnrylee03]

Could you make a video on how to fix flat Blythe lips from over sanding. I accidentally flattened my dolls lips lol

[@lulusbug]

What is the name of this first curved tool?

[@BeBeDolls]

It is a riffler file. You can buy it in my shop here: www.etsy.com/listing/608238766/blythe-file-tool-blythe-starter-kit?ref=shop_home_active_2&crt=1 :)

[@sarasan9290]

Gabrielle i dont know in your country you in Spain it’s like diamond lime and it’s very cheap

[@cabeltra]

What type of gouge do you recommend?

[@julieoaks6954]

Where do I get the curved files like yours? Do you think Lowe's would have them?

[@BeBeDolls]

Oh right forgot to post a link! I have looked at hardware stores and town and have never found this one. It is a specific file called a "riffler" file. Just search "riffler" files and you should find it. Here is a link to one: www.sciplus.com/p/model-maker-riffler-files_1363?ppc=shopping1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI36S-oNGW2QIVA2t-Ch1ljQUlEAUYAiABEgLT3PD_BwE

[@unnatijhala1753]

Hi Casie, I watched your video about what tools to use but could you elaborate on the Dremel tool? (What kind and which drill bits to get) thank you!

[@BeBeDolls]

I got it at Walmart a long time ago. It says Dremel 7700 on it and if I remember right it was the kind that is for carving/sculpting. At Walmart there was only 1 option for the Dremel and one tool kit. ;)

[@Spencer965]

How do you make their face not shiney?

[@BeBeDolls]

First you sand them with very fine sandpaper and then spray with Mr. Super Clear or other sealant. :0)

[@Spencer965]

@@BeBeDolls thank you soooooo much I very grateful

[@elysdolls1442]

What's the name of your curved tools?

[@BeBeDolls]

Hi there...it is a riffler file...but there are probably 100 different riffler files and this one I have made just for me based on specifications I've given the manufacture. I do believe there is a similar Swiss made one.
