And today's new ear DIY! Tomorrow I'll be showing you how to make a much more detailed custom fit pair of fake ears with these casts. It'll work with elf ears, Spock ears (which is what I made these for) you're pretty much only limited by your imagination.

[@Badriyaishere]

Somehow there isn't a link on the description as to what you used. I'd really appreciate if you can handle that thank you! xx

+KlairedelysArt ~Sorry if this is a bothering question but will you continue with the Emotion series? and if you do can you please do Depression..i got diagnosed with depression a while back but I'd love to see how you'd interpret it 🌸~Thank You.

[@KlairedelysArt]

I haven't planned on stopping that series any time soon, but some of the darker moods have a bit of a tendency to make me quite depressed, so I try to only film them when it'll be cathartic for me.

[@elloitsebony5813]

+KlairdelysArt Yay! 💖

[@Alice_in_art_land]

Thankyou this video is so helpful. i love the way you make these videos, they're so calm and i learn a lot from them

[@elenellem6516]

You always make me want to get really into all of the special effects rather than just costume makeup and stuff 😄

[@ThatCzechKid]

I had saw your videos a long time ago, way, way back and I've always enjoyed your energy. I've just recently found you again and I've subscribed! Glad to see you're still about and making content!

[@TiaRae101]

I don't know why I find these so interesting, great video :)

[@WitteArtistry]

Incredibly helpful! :D I just tried this technique today and it worked great! So thanks! :D

[@stephgorringe526]

this is awesome! I have small ears so most prosthetic ones, specifically my Hobbit ones I have, are and feel really huge on my own ears, haha.

YESSS

[@LauraRibeiro-sj3ub]

Rhianna Clark yessss !

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

Awesome, I'm going to try this to make a silicone model instead of a plaster model. Thanks for the explanation :)

[@sam111880]

cool , one additional thing have you ever had any accident with cotton balls or ear plugs not working and it hardens into the hear. I imagine you want to always pour not directly on the ear. But do you recommend ear plugs or cotton ...Also the viscosity of the alginate mixture would highly affect the danger of it flowing into the hear...i say ear plugs cover that as well for the most part but you think cotton it flow around or stick cotton down there.

[@Thejasperthecat]

haha, "ear bubbles"

[@redblaquegolden]

this is truly helpful, love. thank you.

[@FeiYuenSays]

I would loooove to try all your tutorials out, unfortunately it's so hard to find materials here. T.T

[@davidcoleman2007]

When you pour that material in the ear... how well does it block the sound? I was hoping I could make a custom perfect fitting earplugs that I could use for sleeping when the other person is snooring, and I am hoping it would do a much better job than silicone plugs that you can buy in the pharmacy as it reduces complete ear vibration

[@Rendosian]

I've made a face cast before and when I went to use it, (was working with polymer clay) the clay ended up sticking to the cast and ruined it. What can I coat the cast with to prevent that?

[@AEZAKM1]

idk if you still need an answer for this, but there’s a thing called mold release spray that u can use

[@clarissaheyward6189]

that sounds great I can wait.

[@sarah_d_makeupartistry657]

so cool! Thanks for your tutorial!!

[@usmangani6040]

hey klaire!!!! can u do a video on face cast

[@KlairedelysArt]

Already did one years ago :) Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aH_cd2iYgNGeipI

[@petcaremania3345]

afifa shaikh she did one

[@mindyflint3986]

can you put a glaze or something over the finished ear cast to make it shiny and water proof? and if so what kind?

[@Badriyaishere]

I think it took me waaaaay longer than it should do to realise that klaire had someone to help her with this XD

[@puppymusic123]

Do you use anything to seal the plaster with afterwards?

[@voidedmuffin]

okay but wouldn't the alginate(however its spelled) go down your ear? like id be worried thatd itd go too far and a a a a a couldnt i put in ear plugs? small ones that wouldnt ruin the mold too much, but still-

[@michaellauinger7406]

Are you saying algernate, because I haven't found any such thing

[@zanerobbins7604]

are there any alternatives to alginate?

[@Rob-fn1kp]

do you not put anything inside the ear? to block the canal?

[@annm7316]

So you don't apply the vaseline on the ear itself? I'm scared that the alginate it's gonna get stuck on the ear jaja.

[@portokalimarida]

very helpfull! thank you!

[@QuinnPascal]

YES Thank you!!!!

[@daanvdbroek9683]

Do more lifecastings

[@PITU-f7f]

whats the ratio alginate water. what is the quantity of alginate needed?

[@nataliemiller3897]

can you still do this if you have ear piercings/stretched lobes?

[@princessunikitty8133]

The person she did it to had pierced ears and it even showed up on the finished mold. I would assume that it’s safe.

[@sum6198]

cool

[@Attic_Art]

can you make a tutorial for a face cast, all the ones I've seen use plaster wrap on the face which is scary haha

[@ambrosia.floros]

She has a video I don't know if it was on her old channel or not...she had a face cast done by a professional however.

[@Attic_Art]

makes sense, thank you!

[@daanvdbroek9683]

I love lifecastings

[@sam111880]

Nose casting , teeth casting , or other body parts are less so dangerous i say ear is the most dangerous or at least a face cast when your near the eyes/eye lids. But again this is just my first time on some of these more delicate body parts. I have experience casting other parts no problem but when it comes to internal openings i become a little more careful ...and take more time to study it. Anyway great video its really cool how professional you can do this stuff just by knowing some simple molding/casting/sculpting techniques

[@Marie-hu7xd]

doesn't the stuff run into the ear? did you put anyting in the ear to prevent her having that gooey stuff stuck in her ear?

[@jasminey1589]

tat was literally the first thing she explained

[@agirlhasnohobbies9982]
