Hello, is that a table vacuum cleaner you're using? Is it enough to avoid resin dust fyling all over as I've seen other artists using plexiglass cages to protect themselves? Good luck with your dollmaking work 🙂
@katesamostudioКүн бұрын
Hi! As for me, the small vacuum is enough if you work very closely to the fan (but still I want to buy more professional one). It is crucial to check and change filters. I have plexiglass dome, but I decided to use good head mask instead, because this way I see better what I do:)

Hello I love your videos. What’s the material? Which type of resin?
@tinkey2562Ай бұрын
Hello! I had a question about molds. I intend to use mine to mold air dry clay, so I won't need to pour resin or anything in it. I was wondering if you cut a one piece mold all the way down to bottom on one side, wouldn't it essentially perform like a 2 part mold?
@katesamostudioАй бұрын
Hi! I never did two-part mold this way, I assume if you will cut it with enough ‘roughness’ it could work.. If you will decide to try it, please write back, I am intrigued :)

Hi! Yes, you can find different videos about mold making, resin cast, doll assembling on my channel💜
@andreaanthony10942 ай бұрын
Well I guess I vastly underestimated the time making molds and casting a bjd would take. It looks just as laborious and time consuming as sculpting the doll itself. Only much more stressful, unpredictable and more expensive since I'd have to purchase a pressure pot
@katesamostudioАй бұрын
Yes, it is very time consuming, but when I start getting first results (like the first assemble of a master doll) I usually became very motivated to proceed:) miniature is some sort of magic for me 🪄

Hello! Thank you for this video. I know it's a bit older. I am interested in making molds and I saw someone melt the clay and pour it in to the bottom of the mold box. Do you think that would work with doll parts as well or is it better to just form it the way you have done here? Thanks!
@katesamostudioАй бұрын
Hi! Ladoll (that I am using for sculpting) can’t be melted. I know only about monster clay that can be melted and poured, I guess it can work. But it’s used only for master model, it doesn’t last long.. as I know for the ‘final’ doll the resin is the only option (if we’re talking about silicone molds)

@steveelkins522 ай бұрын
I have watched all your videos, and admire your abilities, its the aesthetic that troubles me... is a plastic doll or a porcelain doll better? I think you have gone to extraordinary lengths to achieve quality, probably more than a porcelain doll, in which the pouring appears to be a much simpler task.. so perhaps it is more difficult to caste resin than porcelain? for toy-like durability...or longevity.. what are your thoughts?
@katesamostudio2 ай бұрын
Hi! Thank you❤️ well I didn’t try cast porcelain dolls, so I can’t tell you if it’s harder. When I chose resin I honestly thought it’s easier that it turned out to be:) so I definitely think that there’re pitfalls in porcelain casting also.. and it will take time to master the skills.

Could you please explain how you make the cast hollow!!! I don't really get it if it goes in pressure pot for 40 min it'll be completely solid right!! Do you pour our some of the rasin after it cured a little like porcelain casting or is it the way you make the mold!! I would love to have some info in it.. If you would please 😊
@katesamostudio2 ай бұрын
Hi! If you want to make the parts hollow right after the casting, you need to make the molds with the ‘pipes’, the silicone can bend so it is possible to take the detail out. But I usually just drill the details like legs and hands. This resin can’t be casted like porcelain, this materials are very different..

Hi! Thank you:) it’s hard to show exactly how to place each detail, because it all depends on the angles and the nuances of the doll. Each doll is different, there’re just some common rules and recommendations for making the molds. I definitely will share more ‘secrets’ in the future videos)

Hi! Task 3 is stronger after curing (it’s a ‘professional’ smooth-on series), but a bit translucent, and I really like that it’s curing time is ~20 min. It also differs with 305 by weight and the results after adding tints.

I open and spray it a bit) I actually never have the problem ejecting the detail itself, only the excess material sometimes sticks to the silicone (I guess because it doesn't have the smooth surface). I afraid to use any powder or liquid release because I don't want to lose the detail surface texture..

I’m confused in how to make this. For example if I’m making a mold of my doll’s limbs like arms or legs etc. how do you make sure that it’s hollowed like this? Did you let the silicone sipped inside or did you plug the hole with plasticine? I can’t see the actual positioning of them before you pour the silicone on it.
@katesamostudio2 ай бұрын
Hi! You’re right, this is one of the way to make the mold. But for more neat result sometimes it’s better to drill the hole.

Wait I’m confused. How did the doll became grey from the initial clay sculpting? I’m new to bid sculpting and I’m almost done with my doll but the next step before creating the silicone mold is confusing to me. How do I get my clay sculpted doll from not falling apart when I pour mold on it? Also what kind of clay is that one that you buried the parts inside the green box?
@katesamostudio7 ай бұрын
Hi! The doll should be covered carefully with the primer before moldmaking, otherwise the silicone will not cure! Primer also adds a bit of strength to the doll parts..
