As I promised, here is the video tutorial to create lifelike eyes, for ooak doll, fairies and other figures. It was up on my YouTube last Monday, but I can update the blog only now. I'm very busy sculpting miniatures for Miniaturitalia, the dollhouse and Miniature Fair in Milan, Italy.
I used the Millefiori cane method to create the iris eye. There are other methods too, you can also paint it (using Genesis color or acrylic color), but it is my best-loved method :)
To create the crystalline lens I used Lisa Pavelka Magic-Glos. It needs UV Lamp, but there are other 3d resins that don't need it, if you do not have. Or you can use liquid polymer clay too :)
So, here is the video tutorial and... I must go to finish to sculpt the last robin :)
The part 2 of the Birthday Fairy video tutorial is up on my YouTube! :) In this part we'll see how to sculpt the limbs. We'll sculpt the arms and hands, the legs and feet. So, the Fairy will have almost a body! ^^ I share the video here, too :) The third part will be up next Monday! :)
Here I am with a new video tutorial. When I started working on it, I was too much optimistic: I'd like to sculpt from polymer clay a Birthday Fairy, I thought, as the video upload was exaclty for my birthday day ^^
Hi! I'm a Birthday Fairy and I'm made from Polymer Clay, like my cupcake! Would you like celebrating together with me? :)
But I got carriet away by the project, so it become very very long. Over 200 clips, two shoot days and other two days to editing the first part. It needed to be splitted in three parts, with weekly schedule. In this first we'll see the head sculpting. In the next we'll see how to sculpt the hands, the arms, the feet and the legs. In the third we'll see how to make the cupcake, the dress and the hair :)
Fairy head, arms and legs are sculpted from Super Sculpey Living Doll, in the light color. Eyes are made from Fimo and resin, but I don't explain the doll eyes making in this tutorial. I made myself eyes for my dolls, but they are available online in many dollmaking shop. There are many tutorials that explain how make them, too. Do you like to see a Celidonia Studio tutorial on the topic? Please, write me in the comments. If I have are requests, I'll put it in my tutorials list :)
Here it is the first part. You can see it here in the blog, or in my YouTube channel. Subscribe to don't lose the next! :)
Hellebore, also known as Winter Rose, Christmas Rose or Lenten Rose, blooms in December, near Winter Solstice. In this new video tutorial we'll sculpt it from polymer clay, to wear it as a Fairy Jewel in the Christmas Night :)
I used a mix of Cernit White Porcelain and White Fimo Professional to sculpt the petals. To color them, I used mica powder pink, light green and dark green. I sculpted pistils from White Porcelain Cernit and I color them with chalk pastels yellow and light green.
In ancient times, people believe that Hellebore cured madness. I think it's good to sculpt it in these pre Christmas made days! :)
A new video tutorial, how to sculpt a Fairy Leaf in polymer clay! It's a Plane Tree Leaf :)
Not all leaves are the same. Someone is so beautiful that receive a Fairy kiss. So, a magic fairy face is born on them. Would you sculpt it with me? :)
As polymer clay, I used Fimo Soft Gold Metal n. 11 and Fimo Soft Black n. 9. But it's a personal choice, there aren't a clay better than other. Choose your favorite. I colored the leaf with mica powder, but eye shadows are ok too. I made three bakings, the first for the leaf, the second for the face and the last for the metal wire. You can see the video here or on Celidonia Studio YouTube Channel. I hope you'll enjoy! :)
Fairy too dresses up for Halloween! This little one wanted a bat-dress. Would you help me to give life to many her little sisters? So all together will go door-to-door saying "Trick or Treat?" :)
Imovie tricks me, because in the final video is a ground noise that it isn't in the original project. But only for a few minutes, in the first part of the video. It was the second time. I'm sorry, but unfortunately this time I can't making again the full project. I hope it will work well for the next! To sculpt the Little Fairy, I used Fimo Professional art doll n. 435 - cameo. To sculpt the little dress, the hat and the bat-wings, I used Fimo Soft. But you can use each polymer clay brand. Which is your favourite?
