Thank you for making this video! It's nice to see people in the doll community talking about the environmental impact of this hobby. I hope the major doll companies start using more renewable and recycled materials to produce dolls. I did want to mention though for the silicone dolls, sand actually is not a renewable resource as crazy as it sounds. The earth will run out of sand if we continue to consume it as much as we do currently.
That's a great point about silicone. It's something I've been thinking more and more about as I get older and more mature 😅
Once I made a doll with a toilet paper roll. I gave him a name and a story and now my nephews play with him with love.
That is awesome!!!
This was so informative, thank you! Very interesting about AG saying they perfected the vinyl. I think the older PC dolls feel more real, I prefer the squishy and soft vinyl. Too bad they are not environmentally friendly :( but I do not plan to ever throw mine out
Thank you, I never thought of the eco-friendly (or not) of the materials. My favorite material for dolls is molded felt (wool felt). It can have a lot of facial and body details and warms to your touch. In a few seconds, the doll feels warm in your hands/arms. This material takes a lot of work. A close 2nd is vinyl, for the reasons you stated. I have, my mother's childhood doll, one of the first types of vinyl. He is called Mr. Cronon, and because the vinyl was unstable, he sweats oily stuff. I still like having him.
As a doll maker myself, I have used cloth and yarn. I currently have been making crochet dolls, mostly out of acrylic yarn. I am looking in into better yarns that are soft like acrylic and also more natural fiber fill. My favorite types of dolls are wood, vinyl, cloth, and yarn. Thanks for making yet another informative and educational video! 🤗❤️🥰
I work with both porcelain and resin. I love that porcelain can last for centuries and the paint does not rub off like resin, but some people like to remove the paint for repainting so that can be a plus or a minus.
That is a really huge plus for porcelain 💜
Great video! For everyone out there looking for an eco friendly doll: Waldorf dolls are by far the most sustainable dolls you can find, they are made by hand with organic materials. Every doll is unique. Btw they are very cute too!
Different doll materials have always fascinated me! I’m actually a huge fan of rag dolls; I used to make them a lot and sometimes still do when I get the urge. They are just so soft and comforting. I guess my favorite is probably vinyl for it’s durability, but I love wood for its organic properties and cloth for its snuggly-ness ☺️
While you were talking about soft comfort dolls for kids, this 47 year old woman was cuddling a Build a Bear unicorn to try and recharge after a hard day! lol
I would say that my favourite doll material is dishcloth cotton yarn. l love to make amigrumi with it, and the dolls have a nice texture.
Excellent topic. Thank you for talking about the responsibility the comes with doll collecting and the materials used in doll making. Very educational and super interesting. Thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️ and thank you for thinking of the planet. Every little thing we do to take care of the our planet counts. 🌱
Fantastic Allison... really enjoyed that 💖... My fave is vinyl for durability & play... I only have a few Wilde Imagination Resin dolls but I think if I had some more expensive resins I could be swayed 😂
Vinyl is awesome for play too because they're so easy to clean...I've always wanted a Wilde resin doll but never seen one in person so I'm not sure how they compare to the BJDs I have ..thank you for watching 💜
Very interesting! I always learn so much with your channel.😊✌💃
Thank you so much 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing all this information! Very interesting and informative! Thanks again🥰
Thank you for watching 💜
This was a really informative video! I try to buy second hand plastic and resin dolls, I've mainly collected bjds. Second hand is both better for the environment... And you don't have to wait as long for a doll like if you buy a new one ;)
Those are really great reasons to shop second hand 💜💜
Hi Allison my dolly friend! I really enjoyed this video! It was great hearing about all the different things dolls are made from! Very cool! Thank you for sharing 🤗❤️💕🌸
Very educational and interesting video.
My favorite materials are certainly vinyl, porcelain and cloth.
This was so informative, I didn’t know half of this. Your channel is more then just showing off the dolls,it’s educational.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🥰
Great information. I have made porcelain dolls and the great thing about porcelain is that an artist can build up layers of color between firings so that the color bonds with the bisque and gives a very natural look. The "cheap" porcelain dolls look cheap because they are just painted on the surface. A doll is called bisque when the clay is not glazed to make it shiny and china when it is glazed. I have a lot of composition dolls including my Mom's and I love the crazing and as long as the composition itself is not cracked I don't repair them. I have some wooden Schoenhut dolls from the early 20th century that have 100-year old springs that are still tight. Ols vinyl dolls stored improperly can get their heads squished out of shape. But vinyl has a memory and I have been able to reshape some.
Great video.
Thank you so much 🥰
I love your cat so cute. I have 2 black cats.
Great and interesting video. I learned a lot. As a doll maker/artist my favorite material is material/fabric/cloth. I use 100% natural fibers except for the poly fiberfil to stuff the doll and acrylic yarn for hair. Your video has inspired me to look into finding natural fiberfil and I know I can find natural yarns for the hair. My favorite dolls in my collection are vinyl. Having collected dolls most of my life, I have seen just about everything. Vinyl is just so easy, affordable and worry-free. Thank you for this informative video and the inspiration for new materials. BTW, my cloth dolls have moveable arms.
This is amazing. This video is full of information. I learned and enjoyed a lot while watching it. I also enjoy all your beautiful videos. Thank you.
I hope that you will make a video about the history of dolls and what country started in the manufacture of dolls. I searched for this, but I did not find an answer.
I wish you a very happy new year 🎊🎈🎆 to you and all your loved ones 💖
Thank you so much for watching 💜 I'll see if I can come up with something for the history one of these days 🥰
What a great educational video! Thanks for making it. I really enjoyed the information and seeing your examples. I love resin and vinyl. I am on the list for a wooden Lavande doll so look forward to that. I wanted a silicone Outsiders doll and it broke my heart when she said she wasn’t making them.
You're gonna love your Lavande et Poupées doll 😍😍
I had a wooden Sandreuter doll back in the day...I loved her so much but she was so expensive, and unfortunately I had a flood in my house and the ceiling fell in - the doll was in the way but not badly damaged and I got too nervous to keep her as she was ooak. I also love wooden dolls...
I can totally understand that - that's why I don't have any antique dolls because I would be so nervous to have them here ... I'm fairly clumsy and handle my dolls a lot and the thought of damaging something like that is enough to keep me from getting one 😅
Great video!
Thank you so much for making this informative and interesting video. I learned quite a bit and you helped me think of the sustainability factor more which is so important. I have to say that my favorite doll material is resin because I love all the qualities it has but vinyl is right up there. I also love cloth dolls for their hugability 😋.
Thank you so much for watching 💜
Fascinating! The silicone segment was completely new to me! I think I pick vinyl as my favourite only because that's the type I'm most familiar with. I'd love to delve into wood more as well at some point! :D
Good video 👍🏻❤️😘
Thank you so much 🥰
I think leather is a another interesting doll medium. My mom has an antique kid leather doll with a porcelain head in her collection and she is really special. Leather gives a doll more durability than fabric while still being soft and it has a wonderful texture to touch. My mom's doll even has jointed elbows and knees that are both a kind of hinge joint.
Oh yes that's a good one! I don't think I have any leather dolls but have seen some and how soft and durable the leather is 😍
❤❤❤❤❤ I used to sew dolls and stuffed animals for my oldest. She is now 27 years old. I think she still loves stuffed animals. My grandmother made me raggedy Ann and Andy dolls and she also made me a dancing doll. He is really tall and has elastics for my ankles and wrists. So I think cloth dolls are my favorite growing up. I also collected Barbie dolls. 2021 I started with BJDs and vinyl. I love those for different reasons. But the part of the resin dolls I don't like is the stringing, I have not gotten good at it and so a few of my dolls are in pieces because of that. I love the posability of the resin, verses the vinyl. However (Smart Dolls) I love that the vinyl dolls you have an internal frame that bends. Even though they are not as posable as the resin, I love them. They can stand, and sit without me worrying if they are going to suddenly fall over or fall on the floor...😄❤❤❤
Interesting topics about dolls. Thank You
☺☺☺🌷🌷🌷❤❤❤💜💜💜💜
I am a reborn collector and silicone is my favorite medium but it can be very expensive
Very interesting video! My favorite materials are wood, cloth, and more recently resin. I was hoping to bring home an Outsider Dolls silicone doll…maybe someday. Her new doll is very unique though, and it is so fascinating to learn about the creation process.
Very interesting video! thank you
Wow, thank you for putting that huge amount of work into this highly educating video! 💜
My favorite doll material is porcelain for sure. My goal as an artist is to make my own porcelain BJDs. I personally prefer working with natural materials. To my mind synthetic ones don't feel as relatable if that makes sense.
The environmental impact is very important! I'm not getting tired of hearing you talking about that! I think it's great that you use your platform to spread awareness about this topic!
According to porcelain: Though it contains only of natural ingredients as well as the molds, as they are made of plaster of paris, firing porcelain is really energy-intensive. It has to be fired thrice at very high temperatures. So the environmental impact depends on the source of the Energy that is used. If energy from renewable sources is used, porcelain is environmentally friendly.
Thank you so much for the info on porcelain! Maybe I'll have to start looking for my first porcelain BJD to see if I like it as they definitely seem to be a greener source of materials 💜
Hello! really exciting to read about someone else who wants to make bjd dolls out of porcelain than myself! it´s going to be a challenge for sure. I would like to ask you if you have any considerations with paints for the porcelain and "sealing" it afterwards. mixing in certains colors to the porcelain to have a skin color. and painting the faces/body blushing and seal it with something strong afterwards?
@@MunecasPoupeesDolls
I'd love to see some in your collection! 💕
As far as I know, most porcelain BJD artist are located in Russia.
@@isabellaolsen4156
Hey Isabella,
Yes, exciting to meet a fellow! 😊
Oh yes, it's going to be a challenge!
I intend to practice with Flumo first. Have you heard of that material?
Unfortunately, there's still a long way to go until I have something to cast. 😅
I thought about the same exact question myself.
You can mix pigments in the liquid porcelain for skin color. And the usual way to paint such things as blushing and face ups is to paint them with porcelain paints after firing the porcelain twice, and seal it by firing it the third time. This way the colors get burned into the porcelain.
But I guess you are thinking about non-permanent colors for removable face ups? I thought about this, and I'm afraid the way you do it with resin BJDs (with paints like watercolor pencils and pastels, and Mr. Super Clear as a fixative) might not work. I assume this, because porcelain has a porous surface, and therefore the colors might not be removable. But I don't know for sure since I've never tried it.
We should do some research about this. Do you happen to speak Russian? That would be very helpful, as there are many BJD artists who use porcelain in Russia.
Where do you live by the way? I live in Berlin, Germany.
Have a nice weekend 😊
This is such a cool video. I really like seeing all the different materials that dolls can be made out of. Most of my collection is Vynal though I do have a handful of both hard plastic and a resin doll. So at the moment Vynal wins

@@MunecasPoupeesDolls HI I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! BY THE WAY I have a question. So I want to get into dollmaking and I'm thinking about making dolls that are either cloth, vinyl, or silicone because I want it to have a warm touch and soft body. But I also want good articulated joints that are hidden within the skin with an inner armature. Think a smart doll but a softer one. I've seen some cloth dolls with joints (wooden beats strung by elastic) and wire armatures for fingers and toes. But I was thinking about building a full armature instead like the smart dolls. So my question is, what material do you think would be best? And if I use silicone for example, do you know how i get the armature into the mold and seal the body seams?
Learns lots! Thanks!
Hello, Thank you for your informative videos. Do you create dolls on RUclips and/or know of anyone who does. I am looking for instructional videos. Thank you.
I'm not a doll creator, there is a school for them here that I know of: instagram.com/escoladedollmakers?igsh=MWxoMXJmdWNpaXplMg==
For the sustainability, guys : NEVER throw a worn out fashion doll like omg lol, monster high, rainbow high, cave club or even my little poney
Doll artists will take them with pleasure, so you don't have to worry about sustainability for them because they will have another life in another place :) And will never end up in trash.
So true! People can always breathe new life into these dolls 💜💜
I am interested in how people make their own bjds. I'd like to make my own since all of the ones I've seen retail for silly money. Plus I want more black bjds or AA to Americans. I don't see the doll I want out there so why not make or customise one? I want to know how. Also please could you do a video on AA bjd and fashion dolls so the Popovy, Pasha Pasha type and not the fantasy type ones?

I'm very glad you talked about the environmental impacts so much. It's something I think of a lot involving my dolls, as well as potential health effects in the creation process. I appreciate someone else talking about it. I'd like to see more dolls in materials that will last unless it is desired they break down, by some specific process perhaps. I don't like the idea of having something that degrades over time, nor do I enjoy the thought that the dolls I love are ultimately bad for the planet if they become trash to someone else, or if they are damaged in a fire.
My favorite material is Clay/Porcelain, they are durable as far as withstanding the test of time, won't yellow, can be submerged, cooked, and can handle a lot of things happening around it, so long as it isn't taking heavy impact. I also love that it isn't going to do anything bad environmentally that I'm aware of. Plaster is usually what porcelain molds are made of. The main negative I'm aware of comes during creation; porcelain dust (and clay dust in general) is bad to inhale.
I want to make a doll, for these reasons I would want it to be porcelain. The main issue I see with porcelain tends to be affordability, as most porcelain dolls are much higher cost than a resin counterpart. I'm wondering if I could do something to make it more reasonable from a buyer's perspective...
Hi Kat some porcelain molds and parts may be on ebay. I myself plan on selling my molds so keep an eye out.
