Adele - Nymphai Dolls
Литва
Добавлен 9 фев 2015
Welcome to the world of doll artistry, where I share my creations, struggles behind the scenes, and inspiration while striving to make the most magnificent dolls.
My name is Adelė, and I am a doll artist and instructor based in Lithuania. My dolls are not simply decorations; each one has a unique story to tell. I bring an extraordinary tale to life in each little creature. Every costume, lock of hair, and tiny detail conveys how special and exclusive this art doll really is. I love the feeling that comes with completing a doll, wrapping it up with a ribbon and a handwritten note. It's like adding another page to my creative journey. I hope that you can see and feel the same passion, joy, and love for life in my dolls that I do.
If you want to get in touch with me for any collaboration, please send me an email: hello@nymphaidolls.com

Create Perfect Miniature Hands and Feet for Your Dolls
Ever since I started to create porcelain ball-jointed dolls, I’ve been fascinated with sculpting miniature features and getting them as detailed as possible. I feel like the doll's hands, feet, and facial features give so much character. But to get them right is always a challenge, especially if you sculpt on a small scale! So today, I want to share my favorite techniques for sculpting miniature features.

All I have to say is your so talented keep up the good work you expire me alot🎉❤
I would like to know how you put all the pieces together. Your work is so impeccable. You are my inspiration to continue in the art world.
🎉
Wow😮
Bonjour à vous ❤ Vous serait-il possible de faire un tutoriel pour visage souriant s'il vous plaît ? Car un sourire en face de soi, ça fait toujours plaisir... Merci beaucoup à vous ❤
She is beautiful ❤ your attention to detail is mind blowing, I'm starting my journey of creating bjd and I hope to get this good one day. Thank you for sharing ❤
Do these come in brown skin tone?
Magnificent 😍
can you tell me how you leave them to dry without cracking? mine always cracks after i put a lot of hours into them, this would be so helpfull thank you
I would love to join your master class to learn to create my own type of BJD style dollies
Is there specific brands I should be using when painting the doll? Like a type of paint?
Depends on the material you’re using to sculpt the doll. But acrylic paint is usually great as a base and soft pastels (ground to the dust) for blushing/shadows. Also use matt varnish to seal the paints.
@@Nymphaidolls thank you so much!
❤❤❤Thank you for sharing doll making skills with us❤❤❤
My pleasure! 🫶
Great video. Thanks for sharing a part of your process. A great artist light with a built in magnifying glass is an Ottlite

Good timing! Enjoy the class and let me know if you need anything. ✨
@@Nymphaidolls thank you so much 🙏
Thank you for such a beautiful video. I am just starting to get into air dry clay and sculpting. I was wondering if you had any advice for the layering part. Most people say that the layers of air dry clay have to be the same level of wetness to adhere. Your sculptures seem to be proving them wrong but I'm not sure if there's a trick to it. When I've watched some other people try to work in layers they ended up with clay that wouldn't stick together well once dried. They even used water, slip, and did scoring but still had problems with keeping it all together. How do you avoid this problem?
Use stone clay like La Doll and always use water when sculpting. I wet the area before adding fresh clay and use additional water to smooth the clay out. Also, sculpt in thin layers. These are the main tips. I never had any problem sculpting like this and get good results. Sculpting in layers gives more control when handling the clay, so I can be more precise when sculpting small details. ☺️
@@Nymphaidolls Thank you so much for the response and advise. Is there a certain level of dryness beyond which you wouldn't add more wet clay? Have you ever layered over fully dried clay by just rewetting? I appreciate you helping this newbie out with your knowledge.
@@nutmeg9892 Yes, I always add more clay on fully dry sculptures! It takes me weeks and sometimes months to sculpt one doll, so it’s really dry by then. This wouldn’t work when sculpting with traditional clay, so I think this is why it’s a strange concept. But La Doll clay is great for that. 👌
@@Nymphaidolls So good to know. I will definitely give this brand of clay a try. Thank you so much again for taking the time to help me figure it out.
Wow! Incredible work! She’s stunning!❤
Thank you so much! ♥️
How many packages of modeling clay do you usually need for one doll?
It depends on the size of the doll. I usually use up one, but just to be safe I’d get two to leave some room for mistakes.
@@Nymphaidolls thank you so much
I know you by instargram , and I very like dolls which you make. I also want to make a ball joint doll. I watched the videos that you share on RUclips but I don’t understand how to make ball joints by hand, and how to cut holes in it . Can you helps me about it ? Hope you reply ! Thank you for reading.
I have a BJD sculpting masterclass, which is on sale right now, where I show every step in BJD sculpting process, so check that out. ☺️ But basically I sculpt rough balls by hand and “shave” them in to perfect spheres by using circle template. All the holes and openings can be drilled with the Dremel tool.
@@Nymphaidolls Thank you so much! I can imagine this sculpting process .
What tool do you use to cut off the excess parts?
@@TỉnhNguyễnvăn-h2v X-acto knife and a Dremel tool.
What type of clay do you use?
It’s linked in the description. La Doll air-dry clay.
I'm blown away by your creativity! Your videos are like works of art. Your videos deserve way more views.
Thank you so much! Maybe with time they will get more attention. I need to upload more probably. 🥲
What do you think of Creative Paperclay? It's a lot cheaper than La Doll but i noticed that it tends to have a noticably rougher texture, paper flyaways and people say its harder to create small detail. Would it be okay to use Paperclay as a base and then a layer of ladoll on top of it to have the smooth texture and malleability of ladoll/premier? For a larger doll like a 1/3 size doll, i thought it would be best to save the more expensive clay for finer details only.
All that you noted in your comment is correct. I used it for a while when I couldn’t find La Doll, early in my career. It does have a lot of paper pulp in it, so even when you sand everything it still has those tiny paper fibers visible. You can minimize it by coating the sanded sculpture with water using a soft brush. La Doll has those fibers as well, but not as much. You can definitely use Paperclay for the base and then finish with La Doll. Just use enough water while sculpting to make sure everything sticks together.
Ooh does it make good money?
I wish i could buy those things
How to avoid cracking in air dry clay dear? ❤
1. Use good quality clay 2. Sculpt in thin layers 3. Wait for inner layers to dry before adding more clay 4. When sculpting use water to smooth the clay out 5. Make sure your sculpture dries evenly, if you’re in a very dry environment, cover the sculpture with plastic bag to slow the drying process
What kind of primer is it? Acrylic?
You can see in the description. The particulate is acrylic, but the carrier is usually lacquer based.
❤She is beautiful, thanks for share🙏
amazing!😯
all of your dolls are so, so beautiful ❤️ i always had very high expectations of myself and never seriously got into doll making but your silly characters are such an inspiration ❤❤❤ love your work ❤️
Thank you! Never too late to make some silly characters 🫶
So amazing video and doll😭🩷 Thank you for sharing the process. I adore your videos!
Thank you so much!! ♥️
This is so amazing, you are inspiring and I would love to be able to make my own dolls oneday.
Thank you! Go for it, it’s an incredible creative outlet 👏
@@Nymphaidolls I’ve wanted to make figures of my characters since I was a kid. Your videos are actually inspiring. I’m not a sculptor though haha
You are a beautiful soul and you created a master peace! Stunning is not even the right word to describe her! I also feel your pain! As a child already I was one with nature. I had a friend, a big tree. I would climb up on it and do my homework sitting in it. I talked to it and touched it gently. One day - just like your forest - my tree and all his friends were cut down and I cried bitter tears. I was laughed at... The pain of nature has become too much for me and I have isolated myself in my bedroom. My heart breaks on the 4th of July, when here in the USA, people celebrate with fireworks. I know what they do to birds and other wildlife.... I have completely isolated myself with my dolls in my bedroom. 💔 The pain is too much. Thank you for creating such a beautiful beautiful doll in honor of our forests❤. Hugs and love from🤗❤️ Tamara @Brokendreamdolls
Thank you for taking the time to write such a beautiful comment. Art can be a safe space when outer world is just too much sometimes.
@@Nymphaidolls maybe one of these days I can afford one of your dolls, ( if they ever are for sale ). And you are so welcome for my comment! It is rare to come across such beautiful souls as you are! That needs to be honored and deserves utmost attention❤️!
❤😊
She's so beautiful! I am always so inspired by your dolls and the art process behind them, thank you for sharing them
Thank you for watching! ♥️
She is amazing!! Your attention to detail is incredible, from her eyes to her beading. Congratulations on creating such a beautiful treasure!! 💕
@@MaggieToTheRescue Thank you so much! I really appreciate it 🫶🫶
Amazing video, thank you for sharing your expertise
The details are so precisely made! You deserve alot more attention
Thank you so much!
They are adorable. Your work is amazing. And your workspace is so clean and neat - I am jealous. LOL. 🤗🤗🤗
@@eileensreborns Haha, not always. 😀 Thank you!
@@Nymphaidolls I always say my workspace is an organized mess. LOL. Have a great weekend. 🥰
ITS SO CUTEE YOURE SO UNDDERRATED
@@amittims553 Thank you! ♥️
That is so sad, it's so unfair that we can't stop our forests being taken away 💔
Can you use an oven for it?
Nope, the temperature has to reach more than 1200°C (2192°F)
Your math don’t add up. Just from your Patreon at 40 members at $350 ea that is $14,000.00 per month total times 12 months is $168,000.00 per year from just your Patreon. So, you being the starving artist, no way. The numbers used are according to what you put out and what’s listed on your Patreon. Like I said, your math doesn’t add up to starving artist, especially when you consider your other avenues of revenue. You make out better than most of us Americans do, especially being a country with much lower cost the living than what we have.
I wish! Maybe I wasn’t clear enough, my Patreon membership is just $5/month.
@@Nymphaidolls are absolutely beautiful. It takes a tremendous amount of skill, imagination, and patience to create these beautiful dolls I would imagine. That being said let us progress to the monetary figures. That is a huge difference. Your Patreon members website says $350 a month and that you have 40 members. That’s over $14,000 a month, so perhaps may want to fix that.
@@1RealRoyalPain it says that way because it’s the total number coming per month. That’s how Patreon is set up.
