Thank you! Yes I see some incredible scenes that people pose and share on Instagram, with such a variety of expressions on customised faces...the sad ones are always my favourite too!
Oh My Goodness! Of course this came out Wonderful/Cute/Perfect! Deron sits next to me in the mornings at the table with Crackers and Fruit between us. I said, "Oh My Goodness, THIS Woman!" He looked over and head up and down. HAHAHAHAH Oh My GOOOOODNESSSSS! She. Is. Perfect! (as always) I look forward to seeing your NEXT Face Up.
Great work, and great explanation! The expression makes me think she's crying! It might be cool to make a crying one using the same gloss varnish as you used on the lips
SOOOO CUTE! I think she came out beautifully. Ok, for blending I can only offer a video for automobile restoration. I know it sounds like insanity, but trust the process right? They use many grit sandpapers, working from the roughest to the smoothest and wet sanding. It takes a while, but I think that might help! (ChrisFix is a good one. Look for his body restoration) Always love your videos, thank you so much 💜
Thank you!! Oh that’s a really great tip thanks!! Yes it’s absolutely a transferable kind of skill, they need to blend in bodywork patches perfectly, I will check him out 😄 Thank You for watching! 🤩
Aaaaargh!!! She is stunning and you are so incredibly talented. I love your videos, not only very entertaining and informative, they also wonderfully soothing to watch...thankyou so much
I want to make custom blythes for fun and just for myself as a hobby so I am binging your videos lol, I’m an extreme beginner so at the moment I am watching videos until I know which products to purchase! Love your customizing videos☺️
I’m sure you will have a bunch of fun with it! I’m so glad my videos will help you 🥰 Thanks so much for watching! (Check out my FAQ page on the website for some direct links to supplies too)
I really like her! Milliput is tricky to work with sometimes. If she were mine I might give her a hairstyle that has a fringe just at that little line. Beautiful job though! Your video is very well done to!
I think she looks really great! I totally enjoyed watching the process! I have been doing some carving but nothing as great as yours, well done Beth! 🥰👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️☀️💙
Oh wow wow wow what a beautiful girl you have created Beth 💖. You are so talented at everything you do . Will you ever start to sell these lovely girls you’re making ? Love the top too 💖💖
Thank you Jane! You’re so kind!! 😊 I would love to get to that point for sure! I will get a little more practice under my belt, then list one for sale hopefully next year🤞🏻😉 I do love Marshal so much!! ❤️
Yeah you should totally give it a try!! This airbrush is just a cheap one (about £60 including the air compressor) it’s fairly straightforward but I haven’t been using it very long honestly 😅 No idea of brand names sorry! I feel like I trust it more than a spray can, and can ‘dilute’ just what I need when I need it 😊 Thank you for watching!!
Thank you very much!! Yes I really enjoyed using them, though there is (always) a risk of accidental gouging, they were slower paced and a lot less messy (dusty?) than using the rotary tool. I bought mine from Hobbycraft (UK) but I've seen what looks like the same thing on Amazon & eBay. I tend to obsessively research things before I buy, and I worried about getting a good quality set, but these came with a sharpening stone (which I used before I began carving), and as an amateur I found them comfortable to use! ^_^ Hope it helps!
@@BethRamsden yes I can imagine! I have a selection of riffler files which I use with my little rotary tool. I have also seen customisers use rounded scalpels for carving but the wood tools seem a little safer! I will have a look in hobby craft - thank you!
You are so talented! Are you ambidextrous? I noticed that although you primarily used your left hand, you also do some carving and things with your right.
Yes 😅 I’m not sure why, but I write and draw left handed, but play guitar, use scissors and sew right handed! I don’t think I realised as I was growing up, it’s weird! 🤪 Thank you! 😊
@@BethRamsden Well it is very handy to be able to use both hands! I could have done with that ability when my right arm and hand was at its worst... When I used to do gymnastics I used to lead with my left arm and leg, but that was about it. I did try and teach myself to draw left handed but that was unsuccessful, although I could swap hands when playing badminton which was handy!
hello, you did an amazing job! I was wondering what brand of paint and what color reference do you use to paint her complexion ? Sorry for my English i’m french 😅
Thank you! I have descriptions and links to most of the things I use regularly here in my FAQ: bethramsden.com/faq As for reference, I suppose my experience as a portrait painter means it's kind of built in to me now, but if you create a kind of mood board, of other dolls that you like the look of, you can use them as your reference. I hope that helps! Please feel free to ask any more questions ^_^
It’s milliput, a two part epoxy compound. There is a similar thing called Apoxie Sculpt you can look for too. I’m in the UK, so not sure what’s available where you are 😊 Thanks for watching!
Yes you can if you have a safe place to do so, but I now have a special airbrushing booth with ventilation that sucks particulates and fumes through a tube that goes outside, if I’m spraying MSC varnish then I still wear a proper mask as well indoors! Thanks for watching 😊
I mixed up lots of different colours of acrylic paint until I got a good match - I can give some examples, although shades will vary from brand to brand! - Buff Titanium, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber, Cadmium Red. Hope that helps! ^_^
Buenas se me metió en la cabeza hacer dentro de algún tiempo(que tenga más experiencia) hacer a Emily "la novia cadáver. Obviamente necesitare un aerógrafo me puedes recomendar uno que no sea muy caro, solo para usarlo con las muñecas. Muchas gracias de antemano. Good, it got into my head to do in some time (that I have more experience) make Emily "the corpse bride". Obviously I will need an airbrush, can you recommend one that is not very expensive, just to use it with the dolls. Thank you very much beforehand
Gracias! ¡Oh, eso sería tan hermoso de ver! En su lugar, puede usar pasteles regulares y un pincel grande y suave para aplicar su color. También he visto a personas que usan Pan Pastels (¡pero creo que son bastante caros!) En cuanto a un aerógrafo, realmente no tengo experiencia, este es el único que he usado: es de mi esposo y era bastante barato. razonable, no creo que necesites algo sofisticado para comenzar a usarlo. ^_^ Thank you! Oh, that would be so beautiful to see! Instead, you can use regular pastels and a large, soft brush to apply your color. I've also seen people use Pan Pastels (but I think they're pretty expensive!) As for an airbrush, I really have no experience, this is the only one I've ever used - it's my husband's and it was pretty cheap. reasonable, I don't think you need anything fancy to start using it. ^_^
Yes! It's Vallejo Premium Airbrush Matte varnish - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284746457791?hash=item424c3622bf:g:mW0AAOSwL0tiS9k~ It's very good, but if you're using an airbrush anyway, you might as well use Mr Color Super Clear which is what I now use, you'll find links here in my FAQ for that ^_^ bethramsden.com/faq
"Why do you upload the video if we don't see what you do...." What a lovely message to wake up to 🥲 I'm sorry you weren't happy with this video, what did you want to see?

Aww thank you! Yes only 6 so far! I do have a few more girls patiently waiting their turn for a makeover 😉

Great job for your first time in sculpting! She looks so tender!

Aaah. She looks so good! Good job!!!
Thank you Lissa! I was really prepared for it to not work out, but was happy with the results in the end! ^_^
Aaaaargh!!! She is stunning and you are so incredibly talented.

Thank you! The face plates on their own are pretty cheap from AliExpless, definitely worth having a play with! 😄
I really like her! Milliput is tricky to work with sometimes. If she were mine I might give her a hairstyle that has a fringe just at that little line. Beautiful job though! Your video is very well done to!
Thank you so much! Yes it'll definitely be a skill that takes more practice for me, but I had a lot of fun with her! ^_^
Love her expression Beth❤️
Thank you very much Alice! 😄
I really enjoyed this and you almost convinced me to do Blythe repaints! ALMOST! 😄
Heehee! Trying it out on a spare faceplate like this is a low risk way to start! 😉 Thanks for watching!! 😄
She is adorable 🥰
Thank you Ann! 🤩
How lovely she is & the larger ears would be cute on her. I can’t wait to see it ! Thanks for sharing your amazing art work ～ 💕
Thanks so much 😊 you’ll see my first attempts at ear modification soon! 😉👂🏻

Большое спасибо за информацию С наступающим Новым годом! From LPR😉
Спасибо за просмотр! Рад, что вам понравилось! ^_^
This inspires me to try the molding myself. I’m also thinking of getting an airbrush ( but not sure which kind to buy).
Ooh exciting! I just updated the links in my FAQ (link in description) to include my newest airbrush, check it out! ^_^
So cool! 😊
Thank you!! ✨😄✨
thank you

Love your work 😍
Thank you so much Claudia! More custom dolls coming soon 😉
Beautiful as always make a fiece faceplate that would be amazing !!!....
Thank you very much! Yes I reckon I've got to try another! ^_^
I want to try this!!! You make it look so do-able. Do you have to have lessons for the airbrush? What brand do you use?
Yeah you should totally give it a try!! This airbrush is just a cheap one (about £60 including the air compressor) it’s fairly straightforward but I haven’t been using it very long honestly 😅 No idea of brand names sorry! I feel like I trust it more than a spray can, and can ‘dilute’ just what I need when I need it 😊 Thank you for watching!!
Ah she looks brilliant! Do you recommend the woodcarving tools? if so, where did you get them?
thanks so much for sharing your work!

I loved her sadden look. You always bring your dolls to life.
Thank you! I’m about to try another milliput modified head, excited to get into it! ✨😄✨
You are so talented! Are you ambidextrous? I noticed that although you primarily used your left hand, you also do some carving and things with your right.

I am gathering supplies to try my own face plate. I'm going to try for a mischievous expression.

Complimenti è bellissima .. e dici di non essere esperta ! 🌸
Grazie mille per la visione! Sono felice che ti sia piaciuta ^_^
Beautiful work do you teach
Thank you! No, I just like to share through these videos 😊 I do have more customising videos in a playlist though if you’re interested!
Didn’t understand about the craving tools . Are you using wood hand craving tools or other tools? Thanks
Yes they are carving tools intended for use on wood. They are a very basic set, and have a small variety of blade shapes. 😊
What brushes are you using (the turquoise colour ones)? This is so inspiring!
Thank you so much! 😊 Those are actually make-up brushes, they’re soft and rounded, perfect for applying and blending pastels 😁
@@BethRamsden oh! Brilliant! They are so pretty! Thanks for the quick reply!
How long does it take for the milliput to dry?
Hi! It’s about 3-4 hours but depends on the environment 😊
obrigada pelas legendas em português! irei me inscrever no canal pois assim consigo entender o processo
Fico muito feliz que tenha gostado do vídeo com legendas! Espero que gostem de muitos outros vídeos! Muito obrigado ^_^
I'm temped so badly to do this as I have a doll I've had dis assembled for years(I went through a lot and she just sat in a box for years.❤
Ahh yes, might be a little cathartic to put her together again?
What is the white clay that you used? Is it available in the US?
It’s milliput, a two part epoxy compound. There is a similar thing called Apoxie Sculpt you can look for too. I’m in the UK, so not sure what’s available where you are 😊 Thanks for watching!
Love your baby
Thank you so much! I really love being able to make them so unique 🤩
Do you spray varnish outside ?
Yes you can if you have a safe place to do so, but I now have a special airbrushing booth with ventilation that sucks particulates and fumes through a tube that goes outside, if I’m spraying MSC varnish then I still wear a proper mask as well indoors! Thanks for watching 😊
"DeeJayBe studio" is another model horse sculpturer worth checking out.
Ooh thank you so much! 😊
What colour did you use for the paint?
I mixed up lots of different colours of acrylic paint until I got a good match - I can give some examples, although shades will vary from brand to brand! - Buff Titanium, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber, Cadmium Red. Hope that helps! ^_^

May i know what varnish you use? Tysm!
Yes! It's Vallejo Premium Airbrush Matte varnish - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284746457791?hash=item424c3622bf:g:mW0AAOSwL0tiS9k~ It's very good, but if you're using an airbrush anyway, you might as well use Mr Color Super Clear which is what I now use, you'll find links here in my FAQ for that ^_^ bethramsden.com/faq
what brand of pencil to make these dolls do you recommend me.?
They should be watercolour pencils, and the kind I use myself are Faber-Castell ‘Goldfaber-Aqua’ ☺️🖌️🎨
@@BethRamsden Thanks !!!you are so fantastic 🥰
What are you mixing milliput with?
Milliput is a two part compound, so the two parts combine to start the hardening process. It is mixed with itself 😊
Question if I have a Blythe doll that has a Matte face can I still sculpt it?
Yes definitely! You will have to re-seal/varnish the face after sculpting anyway. You can use matte or gloss spray depending on your preference 😁
@@BethRamsden ohh okay! Thank you sm also would there be a demonstration video on doing that? I’m quite a beginner 😅
I have a customising playlist, you’ll see my process in more detail in some earlier videos 😁
A pretty doll would be nice so many miserable ones now xx
Aww, well she's the only really sad one that I have, so she's different to me! ^_^ Thanks for watching!
What to use for shiny lips?
You can use a glossy varnish on the lips to give them a wet look 😄
Ohhh poor girl, we need to know why she is so sad!
💕😌💕
Интересно модет модно было бы зделать на лбу переход не так заметно.
Определенно! Это было то, с чем я боролся больше всего здесь. Надеюсь, в следующий раз у меня получится лучше ☺️
how much is 1 child
You can buy these cheaper dolls on AliExpress, the prices vary quite a bit. 😊
