Making William - Part 4

[@gabriellsbaby]

If anyone ever wonders why silicone babies are so expensive just watch this series, so much work from sculpting to pouring...my goodness. I took a look at supply costs and they are so expensive. This is a labor of love! Carolyns generosity with this information is understated. Not only is this informative and entertaining but it is so valuable. Thank you so much.

[@debragilbert5596]

working on my first baby...could not have done it without your videos Carolyn! Thank you so much...

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Debra Gilbert well done! Love hearing people’s progress xx

[@thegildedstork8167]

I just wanted to also say a BIG THANK YOU for showing us all how to do this! Very fascinating to watch it all come together! I've watched all your other videos, but for some reason William's progress has been more insightful. I cannot wait to see him poured! I'm so thrilled to have seen him from start to finish!

[@summerholt112]

I am so thankful you’ve posted all of this information! I haven’t found any resources nearly as good as yours and I’ve even asked in Facebook groups and no one will give suggestions or tips, so thank you so much!!

[@SeaCheles.Love.4]

Just amazing…! All so lovely. Thank you❤

[@RianShafer]

Fantastic! I am still wondering about the temp & bake time for pieces this large. Thanks for showing us start to finish on William.

[@QueenBeasDsgn]

I am loving this process Of William, so much work.... So much heart and love... A bit sad when the clay is broken but the faces in tact are a lovely momento I think ... Thank you bunches for sharing!! 💜

[@dawn5079]

Your very good at moulding these babies xx

[@238Tina1]

I know that feeling when you where saying you felt stupid for using hot glue on your monster clay sculpture. Makes me chuckle because I know the feeling. Sometimes I just get so excited with a project and make such a stupid mistake that ruins the piece haha. But you always learn something!

[@unknownunknown-uv3kz]

Thanks so much for your time and effort with this series!

[@dove7271]

Awesome work Carolyn. God blessings.

[@mauricevandraanen4286]

Adding colour the the pouring silicone makes mixing more accurate that if the colour turns even in the mix that it acts as an indicator which tells you that the two part silicones A & B are mixed in to the right way.

[@tanyabatley5086]

Oh right that's more than I thought, than you again Carolyn your an amazing artist xx

[@heatherduarte5921]

it's done? Can I get a complete list of what you use to make a glove mold and also the pour silicone and the paints, flocking, etc. I've been looking everyone and I dont know the right stuff. And also I'm making my first baby

[@fionamorris9634]

Wow I don’t know why I imagined William would still be in one piece, but it reall shocked me when you started to break him up.😔 Still im super excited to see you pour him.😊

[@candacecooper2758]

do you have to "cook" the clay to get it to harden? or how does it harden?

[@JennaRose10]

i believe you have to bake the clay 30 minutes for every half inch of clay at 350 Fahrenheit or 176 celsius. i know im late

[@brooklynkowbel8213]

Can you put list of material plz

[@chrissyschannel8589]

Brilliant love watching you carnt wait to see you pour the silicone and the end product.👶🏻

[@denisepalmer3732]

Hi Mrs. Carolyn, I've been watching you make Williams and started my own clay modle doll for a mold, after baking the clay modle I notice some Small cracks after taking her out of the oven, what do You do to prevent this problem. I'm learning from you Denise

[@Blueswanreborns]

what clay are you using and which clays are just as good

[@heatherduarte5921]

Hiw many times do u bake a baby til its done?

[@gachapiinky4409]

Can you link me where you order the silicone?

[@anytavernon7803]

Hola Carolyn, encantada de ver tu trabajo y que lo puedas compartir te agradezco mucho me gustaría que pusieras lista de materiales ya que no se es primera vez que lo intentaré, no hablo ingles solo español, no hay traducción te veo desde Chile quiero ver si acá están los productos de lo contrario para importarlos... gracias es maravilloso poder aprender

[@dianavenzon530]

Hi Carolyn, no questions, I just wanted to say I love that little story you tell about making a baby in monster clay and using the hot glue. That is so funny!!!!

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Diana Venzon hehe well at least I can laugh at myself 🤣

[@dianavenzon530]

I can too Carolyn, so you have a wonderful sense of humor

[@Nomeulugaradrianamenezes422]

Vc e a melhor que já vi 😍👏👏👏

[@timm2020]

could you make the mold with ultra cal 30? Also wouldn't be faster to build a box around the clay and pour the silicone?

[@creativecaroline1287]

would have been nice with a lis of the different silicone types you are using or maybe a link. :) But very nice

[@engraftedwordministriesari2769]

Carolyn you are really amazing!

[@heatherwheeler828]

what is that on the head may i ask do u cut that off or is that for the mold and i wanted to know what was in the buckets blue and white my father ask thanks

[@celestepatrick9038]

Hi Carolyn....How long do you bake your pieces in the oven and on what temperature? Do you use any wax paper or anything up under the pieces? Also, thank you for your videos!

[@amandaszabo3377]

Hello..and thank you so much for your video's. Can you tell me if you put vaseline on the baby first please.

[@StephGambino]

Every time i watch this video, when the dog barks, I look behind me, I always think there's a dog in my 🏠. 😆 😆 😆

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Hehehe that’s so funny 😂

[@Shylows]

what is the name of the product you sued for the hard shell of big pails I thought I heard you say free free form but Im not positive.ty

[@SeaCheles.Love.4]

How long and what temp do you set the oven? Thank you Carolyn😊

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

very very low temperature, basically as low as the oven will go.

[@claudenicemariamoura8398]

Olá sou do Brasil gostaria muito de aprender fazer esse molde mais não sei o nome dos produtos que vc usou, poderia me falar o nome dos materiais que vc usou?desde já agradeço muito sou sua fã 😘

[@dianavenzon530]

Hi Carolyn, I have to ask you a question. I know you wouldn't do it if it was dangerous but on the can of thinner, napthta, it says keep away from heat. I wanted to know if maybe I got the wrong kind and isn't it also what you soak your brushes in?

[@chrissyschannel8589]

Can you use it more than once ?

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Yes, if it’s a good mould you should get 10+ pours out of a mould. If it has a weakness or you are unlucky you might only get 1 (occasionally not even that) out of a mould.

[@chrissyschannel8589]

Thankyou 👶🏻

[@janethoose1949]

Hello, I didn't catch the product name of the putty that you are using. My granddaughter makes tiny clay babies and she wants to give it a try. I have the Smooth-On silicone but don't know what the casting material that you are using is called. Thank you.

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Hi, it’s called Free Form Air it’s an epoxy putty and is made by SmoothOn

[@janethoose1949]

@@CarolynDoughtyDolls Thank you so much for your help. We were looking at that product after watching your videos but weren't sure. I have more questions before we make our attempt. Grace has a little channel and has been making babies since she was old enough to not eat the clay. lol. Thanks.

[@janethoose1949]

Before I saw your video's I purchased Smooth-On Universal Mold Release 14 fl. oz. Do you think it will work and then I will buy the stuff that your using the next time.

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Janet Hoose I know people who have used universal release and had no problems with it, so you should be ok but definitely next time buy the Ease Release spray it is made specially for silicone. There is also a liquid version of Ease Release called Ease Release 205, I have never got on with it and recommend the spray version.

[@janethoose1949]

Ok, Thanks. I will get the other the next time for sure.

[@dianavenzon530]

It's me again Carolyn, I thought there was only one kind of glue that goes in a glue gun. I put some on my spinner board like you did and it works great until I went to take him off. I got the silicone loose and took him off and his pour spout I had baked on his head came off. I had to use a knife and hammer to get the glue off my board. I thought you might be able to tell me what I did wrong. Please, I'm afraid to do another one

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Diana Venzon hmm maybe it was the surface of the board different to mine. What about putting something disposable on top of the board like cardboard and sticking the sculpt to that

[@dianavenzon530]

@@CarolynDoughtyDolls that's a good idea, thanks Carolyn.

[@shontaford7755]

Hello Carolyn i wanted to know what paints you're using for the glove moulding process? I was thinking to use silc pigments since it's for silicone mixing but i can't find where to purchase large quantities of the paint i only find sample kits.. Thanks

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

shonta ford hi, for larger quantity of silu pigments, if you look on amazon and eBay at Polycraft silicone pigments - they work fine for tinting larger quantity of silicone and are reasonable price.

[@shontaford7755]

@@CarolynDoughtyDolls ok thanks so much ❤

[@joannecarnes4468]

How many times can u use the mould when u make it.

[@Mojasameh]

What kind of silicone did you use for the mold?

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

I use Dragon Skin 10 for the glove mould and Free Form Air for the mother mould

[@yolandaherrera3439]

What is the name of the thickner drops?

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

yolanda herrera - Thivex made by Smooth On I think

[@franciannegrande4683]

Good Morning, Could you write the name of the materials used in the mold? and the materials used to sculpt the baby that will serve as a mold? Thank you very much in advance

[@TheEmptyNestRebornDollNursery]

wow it takes a lot of work to make one of these little ones

[@SeaCheles.Love.4]

Funny😂❤

[@dollygirl3045]

What other type of glue can you use

[@dianavenzon530]

Hi Carolyn, I was wondering if you are able to use his eyes again. Can you or do you have to get new ones?

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Diana Venzon well you could gauge them out of the sculpt after he’s moulded but I prefer to keep the head intact - the eyes only cost maybe £4 a pair I prefer to keep the head sculpt and lose the eyes.

[@dianavenzon530]

OK, thank you Carolyn, just wasn't sure about that

[@tanyabatley5086]

How many times can you use the mould Theresa xx

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

Tanya Batley it varies from mould to mould, on average about 10

[@monicafalcinelli2742]

Ciao volevo chiederti se lo stampo lo vendi? Grazie 😊

[@Shylows]

free forma?

[@deborahjames2854]

Very amazing to watch, however I think I would be devastated the first time doing this and the baby cracked..I know you now have a mold , but...argh!

[@sarascrazychannel]

Your so amazing!

[@thegildedstork8167]

Do you use a sealant on your finished clay piece so it releases easier from the mold?

[@CarolynDoughtyDolls]

The Gilded Stork No, it isn’t necessary

[@mariannefroholdt9783]

Why is it called dragonskin?

[@dollygirl3045]

And do you have to seam it

Hi Carolyn! Sorry, I didn’t catch what white product you used to coat the spout of the head before you started coating the entire mold?
