Hello I love baby dolls

[@Merakimeleka]

I can’t express in words how much I’m thankful!! Its so kind of you share this content 😭😭😭💖💖💖

[@kristinealbrecht2071]

Carolyn, your tutorials are marvelous and so detailed and helpful. Because of you my confidence in being able to do this is growing. Effie is gorgeous. I agree that she is your best so far, but you’ll likely just get even better. Thanks for sharing all your expertise.

[@thegildedstork8167]

You sure outdid yourself lady! She is just so gorgeous. I love her sweet face. Thank you a million times for sharing with us all. I love your videos ...so soothing to watch and helps motivate me to work on mine ASAP!!

[@laurnakingsley6947]

Effy is gorgeous :) I would love one of her one of these days! Must keep saving! Lovely work x

[@annemuscat9119]

What an amazing baby and as always such a helpful tutorial. If not for your kind sharing, I never would have become interested remotely in silicone dolls. Even though I am thinking of giving up, at least trying to make the life size ones, I still appreciate all your have taught me. There should be more like you in the world.

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Anne Muscat thank you so much Anne, very much appreciated xxx

[@Plxie]

I've really enjoyed watching all your video's. It's nice to refresh my mind. This video came just in time actually as I have just taken out my full silicone baby girl (Betsy) and she really did need your help today so thank you for that and love the transplant with the needles. Your sculpt here is just perfect and I love how restful and content she looks. just the perfect look I love in a baby sculpt. Really excited for you and looking forwards to seeing you paint her. Thanks for being so kind in sharing and putting a stop to my very expensive mistakes that I've been making for a long enough time.

[@caroldollsbabies]

Thank you Caroline!! I see you in making silicone babies group 😘😘

Hi, so fascinating to watch ,love and hugs xxx

[@violetparker9813]

Lovely baby! And thank you for helping us newbies along! I wanted to ask about the paint sticking. I think I went through extensive cleaning after I pulled it out of the mold ( several hours of soaking scrubbing and using thinners) and yet I am getting peeling paint. I have tried to be careful of what I use on it - no latex. is there something I could be doing to cause this?

[@sandyvela8332]

Thank you for showing the work that you do.

[@giseleperrin]

Awe she is going to be so beautiful. Where do you buy those little scissors. Are these beauties going to be for sale? She is perfect WOW

[@SeaCheles.Love.4]

Poor little Effy. Lil boo boos. And she’s sleeping like a bug on a rug…❤I am so in love with silicone. To squish and bathe and can she go in pool or salt water. I’m sure not but she’s so darn cute.❤

[@Topofthemorning1000]

How do you cover the shine left from the repair ? Love all your videos your the best ❤️❤️

What brand of plat sil gel did you use and where to get it please? Thanks very much for this video, I was pulling my hair out trying to repair flaws.

[@TheEmptyNestRebornDollNursery]

what is the name of the silicone thickener? thanks in advance

[@SeaCheles.Love.4]

Blessings to all!

[@amandaviox2234]

Your work is absolutely amazing how do I go about buying one?

[@devinricketts8428]

Wonderful Job! I love watching your videos, Carolyn!! I'm an hour and 10 minutes in and I'm wondering if you're using OSS or NAPTHA thinner to smooth over the silicone? :D

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

I'm using OSS but you can use any thinner - I particularly like OSS because it is fractionally more oily than some of the thinners.

[@devinricketts8428]

@@CarolynDoughtyDolls Ok! That's really cool! I've seen where people say the OSS is a safer alternative to Naptha because it's supposedly chemical free! I'd love to give it a try when I get to that point! Also, when you use it to smooth, does it dry completely out and will it affect the painting when we get to that point? :D

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Devin Ricketts it evaporates so is fine to paint over. OSS is still a solvent and so not completely without risk but a lot nicer to use and yes must be safer. The only time I use Naptha now is for airbrushing.

[@debbiel7736]

I really enjoy watching your videos. Do you keep one of everything you create or just some favorites? I would have a hard time parting with any of them. Oh my, I guess I should of held my questions to the end of the video. :)

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Debbie Legere I just keep the odd one although it’s tempting!

What silicone did she use to fix the rips?

Hi Carolyn, I'm a beginner and having bought my painting starter kit I can't really afford to buy more materials to repair. Can I use Psycho paint without pigment in to repair minor flaws? Thank you

What do use for a broke arm off ? My first doll help please😢❤thank you.

[@didismith7682]

Will ecoflex smooth out corners of silicone dolls mouth where I messed up opening her mouth, I repaired the tears but it looks dry and scabby now, how can i fix it? My first silicone and I've messed her mouth up, so frustrated, the more I've tried smoothing it the worse it's become, is there any hope for het? Btw. You're the best instructor, love your tutorials, to those who say they can't hear or understand parts you can follow along with transcript, it's great ♥️n

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

You can fix tears with any platinum silicone but ecoflex is quite thin and runny, so not ideal. If you have any dragonskin or psychopaint that would be better, or platsil gel 00.

[@didismith7682]

@@CarolynDoughtyDolls oh thank you so much, I'll try platsil but I think I'll have to get off the silicone I've already put on, I fixed the shape but it left a lot of uneveness and dark spots so I'll have to sand off, I used psycho paints to rebuild lips but it's spread out to outside of lips and now on face. I thought I wouldn't want to do another silicone but now I'd like chance to do one right. Do you sell silicone kits? Btw..you have been only one whose answered and tried to help, love your tutorials and I think I'm going to do more than subscribe, I'd like to be a member but because time restraints I can't make most lives but I get more out of your tutorials on this subject than anyone else, again thanks so much. I've really got to work on lip colors and getting lip color to look natural

[@didismith7682]

Can you smooth out reborn doll bottom lip with silicone, I opened her mouth so she could take a pacifier and it left very tiny jagged marks as if she has chapped lips. Ty for the vids

[@cindyribet7641]

My granddaughter saved money for six months to buy a silicone doll. Then a dog got hold of it. It has tears and punctures. I want to repair it. Is there a way to get the indentions to come back up? I see how to repair the tears and punctures. But some places are not punctured but has an indention of the dogs teeth. I was wondering if heating it would work

[@HauntedDoll84]

what material do you use ??

[@CarolinesTouchArtDolls]

This is wonderful and she is looking so beautiful!! I have a question... When the baby is first pulled from the mould, I know from your previous videos from years passed, you said to wash her completely with warm soapy water, rinse and air dry. What do you wipe her down with before repairing her? I'm asking because since then, you may have discovered other products you prefer now. Thank you. :-) Ps. You are making me braver to get started... lol

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Carol Manoukian hi Carol 💜. Yes I wash well with dish soap, it’s called Fairy Liquid here, and I use a pan scourer sponge to really rub into the silicone. Then I use thinners either Naptha or an odour Free thinner, again rub well into the silicone. Then back into hot soapy water, again scrub. I think the scrubbing is the new thing I do now. If you get release agent in your hands it feels waxy and when you wash your hands it’s really difficult to get it off - you really have to use strong soap and scrub and also a solvent. And finally rinse well as you don’t want any residue of soap left on. Then finally, I use 100% alcohol in a spray and I spray well and wipe down with lint free tissue.

Hi Caroline, How do I fix my silicone reborn baby doll 's hair since she hardly has any on her head and her magnet for her mouth is just loose rolling around inside of her head whenever I pick her up. My reborn doll's maker wants to charge me $95 for a new reborn baby doll including the head, but let me replace my doll's head twice before without charging me what should I do? I could go to Walmart and replace my full doll for $56.00. All I need is a new head for my doll. What do you suggest that I do to fix this problem?

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Stephane Lang hi, sorry I can’t advise you re a vinyl reborn as I only work with silicones now x

[@stephanelang1353]

@@CarolynDoughtyDolls my doll is not a vinyl silicone, she is a full silicone.

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Stephane Lang silicone dolls don’t have hollow heads they have solid heads and generally they don’t take magnets. What you have is not a silicone. Imagine if a silicone head was hollow it would be like a balloon. It must be vinyl if it has a hollow head.
