Materials BJD in papermache-compound

So this enable you to make more than one doll right by making the plaster mold?

 

hey Miramarie,
is this Flumo or Liqueche like stuff? I've started to try it a little, and it seems very interesting.

your sculpts are lovely --- very beautiful faces... and the pieces feel strong enough to string with the papermache compound?

very, very cool!

 

are you serious... cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

 

D: wow those are papermache?! and ya just used a plaster molding? O.o nice! you gotta make a tutorial or explaination with pics on how ya do it and exactly what stuff ya used (brand name etc.,) that would be awesome lol XD

 

I know I can understand you quite well! ^__^ Go ahead, if you have time, please do make a tutorial! ^______^

 

Wow, that's beautiful!!!! And the finish looks flawless!!

 

Miramarie, your dolls are very pretty and so delicate looking.
I have poured in liquache and I know that it dries to a very strong finish. When left in the mold to thicken it will leave a hollow core, wide enough for stringing. It WILL discolor your molds.

This is too great. I have been hesitant about resin casting. This sounds like a good way for me to go. For your dolls are so beautiful. I will be awaiting the tutorials and close-ups of these amazing dolls.

 

The method sounds really interesting.
And your dolls look very pretty and sulking . I especially like the one in the white wig. She has a beautiful face shape and I love the way her stern eye brows make her look a bit like an owl (meant as a compliment)
Schön.

 

They're beautiful! I love them! I would very much be interested in seeing their bodies with no clothes, to see how joints are. Is the material they are made out of hard like resin?

 

Well since you have more dolls there and you say only one you made im not sure which one But they all look really good !

 

wow, those look so well made *-* So glad you'd decide to make a tutorial XD It would be great for those who are allergic to resin and also for those of use who sometimes can't afford the nice silicone molds ^^; can't wait to see it XD

 

these are beautiful

 

Awesome tutorial so far MiraMarie, and I like the body differences. Thank you for sharing! I'll be watching for the second half of your tutorial! Thank you!

 

I've bookmarked this I've read more on that liquiche' and when I've read that you can pour out the middle of the liquid during curing process back into the original container once the side walls set to the right thickness, I was like "shweet, I can have a hollowed piece without making a core XD" Of course I'm guessing for some parts, a core might be required, but still it cuts down on time/effort and save on materials. And it's a good price too, I'm so gonna invest in that XD But gonna keep an eye on this thread, so I can learn the handling process better. Thanks so much for telling us about this method

 

Lovely instructional pictures! Thank you so much!

 

Thank you so much for posting this!
I'm going to have to give it a try

 

Great tut, brings back memories of my porcelain pouring days

 

That is amazing. I just finished a 4 foot high eiffel tower in paper mache (for a store display) and it was my first time working with it. I am amazed at how verstile it is...

I never thought I would see such beauty in paper mache though ,the skin looks so smooth!

 

Thank you so much! Is the clay you use when making a mold earthenware? If not, what kind? I'm really going to have to try this with my cat doll I'm making, I'd probably have to do a four part mold for it to work (to avoid the undercuts) thanks so much for this!

 

I mean the clay that you use to go around a body part and then pour the plaster over in the form, the brown or tannish color clay.

 

This is very interesting... does the papermache wear out the plaster molds over time (moist plaster is soft and fragile in my experience) ~ how many dolls can you make from one mold? Also, I guess you have to be careful with undercuts, since plaster has no "give"?

 

Undercuts would be a problem with plaster molds (I use to make porcelein dolls) but the nice thing about this product is that if there is a nick or bubble or scratch, you can just spatula some of it in there, let it sit till it gets hard and then sand to smooth.

I can't wait to try it. It will especially help me since I sculpt solid heads. I was dreading the process of getting mine hollow for resin reproduction. I'm interested to see how hard it gets.

Do you use MSC on it too? Like you would with a resin doll? Your molds are perfect, how long have you been doing this?

 

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing with everyone! After reading all the 'fun' people have working with resin, this is great to learn about. And your work is so beautiful...I love them! I'll keep watching the thread.

 

When pouring a second piece for a plaster mold, do you need to coat the plaster that's already been poured with something and if so what would you recommend?

 

Your are very talented ! Really Original woks ! Papermache is not easy to work !

 

Wow, your dolls are very beautiful! I like the shade of blue on your fairy, it's very soft and pretty. ^-^

 

They're reaaaaally pretty XD

Thanks for the tutorial,Miramarie. It's very useful

Anyway, how many times do you have to coat your doll with MSC?

 

She looks so sweet! I love how the blue looks, and the design you put on her foot! Thanks so much for sharing your method; I just may wind up trying it (if I ever find enough time...)

 

Your fairy is lovely..you're very talented!

 

Wow you dolls are really amazing and unique.
you really talented I love all yours dolls.

Could you please tell me, where can I buy papermache-compound, or any website?

 

Your dolls are so beautiful.
About how much does it cost by the time you are done?

 

Wow Really pretty!

 

Do you thin the modeling paste? If so how much?
