I am even more incredibly impressed now that I know you can't even use Sponges! Your artwork is so amazingly detailed. Thank you for posting all your Videos.
I just bought one of your Silicone Painting Starter kits. Even with the extra 45 pounds on shipping it is still a very good value. Plus I think having the same products I see you use will help me be more confident as I have watched your painting videos countless times. I am terrified to start and overwhelmed especially painting. I even had my husband make me an oversized lazy Susan like yours. I wish I knew what kind of oven you used to cure your dolls. It must be pretty big as you said you can fit your entire lazy Susan and the doll into the oven. I have seen other artist use heat guns but those require using a respirator.
I love watching your work! I am on a marathon right now watching your videos. Just to let you know the part above the lip is called a "Cupid's Bow". I really want a reborn. I am now having the effects of having a hysterectomy in January and I'm only 37 years of age. Thank you for being one of the greatest people on earth that bring the JOY to people's lives. Sending Hugs and wishing you well.
Me too. I’m 38 and had everything taken out, no kids. I only found out about this world after seeing someone in Costco with a baby and I had a meltdown. I didn’t know they existed in this level of beauty, but also I didn’t know it was OK to have / want one. I saved my $ every chance I had and used credit to get one. I was elated. I didn’t know how I’d react once I had him in my hands. I cried, I laughed, I talked to him. It’s a mix bag for sure. Some days it helps more than anything, only a few days it makes me sad for what I couldn’t have. Overall, it was a great decision for my mental health. Even after watching so many box opening’s and all the online groups, I was reluctant to tell or show anyone my baby. But when I did, I was SO supported. I wish you well and hope you get your dream baby someday soon. 🖤
Eu amo de paixão todos os vídeos nunca vi tanta emoção em ver um vídeo. meu sonho é aprender a fazer um bebê reborn de silicone. agradeço de coração por posta seus trabalhos você é uma pessoa maravilhosa.
Hi Carolyn, thanks for these fabulous videos. I have Psycho paint in my shopping basket and am trying to acquire the pigments to go with it. Which colours should I buy please and in what quantities? If you can recommend a shop too that would be fabulous. Initially, I'm planning to paint a 7 inch tall mini baby. Thank you, Joy.
best options is OSS (Odorless Silicone Solvent), i'll use a "Novocs Gloss" by Polisil, is compatible with Psycho Paint. or a thinner of Smooth On "Psycho Paint Solvent" itself.
cada bebê de silicone lindos um sonho que vou realizar são tão emocionante que você pensa que é um bebê são artistas como nunca vi na minha vida . todas de PARABÉNS
I just started painting silicones been painting reborn dolls vinyl dolls 13 years but now trying silicone just looking to see what people are using because that’s so confusing I have the a& b mix with these same paints 😊
Hi Carolyn thank you for your tutorials, I wanted to ask how long do I wait to cure each layer. Do I paint a layer and then let it dry for a while then apply the next layer ? Or can I paint one layer after the other ? Thanks ❤
I goofed, just like you said. I used something that must have had laytex to put the paint on... not the first coat, the second. How can I get it off? I've been using the OSS and rubbing. then I washed it. I have done this twice but I still see places that need to come off. Or maybe I'm trying too hard?
Hello, thank you for this free video 🙏🏻 How long do you heat to fix the paint ? How much degrees ? Can one use an oven or only a heating gun ? Thank you 😊
Hello there! I have been watching your tutorials over and over for a couple years now and finally got brave enough to try to paint my first silicone baby. I purchased pretty much everything you recommended on your website. I was wondering for the Gel that u use fur your paint...which do you recommend? I noticed that they have 10 20 30 etc just like ecoflex. The kit that I will be painting was poured in ecoflex 20 so should I paint with platsil 20 as well or what do you recommend? It’s the only thing I havnt purchased because I wasn’t sure.
Hi Carolyn. Do you know how to repair peeling paint on a silicone? I would really appreciate some help. I can not find any information on how to do this. Thanks . Megan
how much would it cost for you to custom make the body/head/arms of the doll and make a whole reborn like that. i lost my baby and i need to buy one that looks like him for therapy
vexi vex yes and for every mould you may get 10 - 20 babies out before it breaks down. It’s an expensive process which is why silicone babies are so expensive. The mould making isn’t what takes the time you can make a mould in a week, it’s the sculpting of the baby that takes the time it can take months to sculpt a full baby
vexi vex yes if you search for my RUclips channel I have a lot of videos showing every stage of making the baby from sculpting in clay to painting and rooting
Hi I'm in a dilemma I cannot get my premixed silicone paints to cure,is being in a room that is always warm and maintains the same temperature I dont have qn oven that I can heat set it any help would be greatly appreciated hugs from Bonny Scotland
Sorry Carolyn I meant to mention before I intend putting the paint on my partial (I have been trying different ways but ONLY in the one of the palette wells it always comes out gooey thinker but I got up the other morning and went to wipe the well clean only to discover that out of the several attempts it had actually cured I made sure there was nothing latex as always,but even at that that shouldn't be right,should it? And each time I used a different color of paint as I only have the 7 color beginners set 1/2 ounce jars
What shore hardness of Platsil was used in this video? I was planning on using ecoflex 10 for the baby. Should I use Platsil gel 10? (Also gel 10 mentions that it cures the a milky white, which is somewhat concerning.) Ty so much for your amazing video, it's incredibly valuable. I'm learning so much. :D
Platsil 00 is equal to Ecoflex 30 so is harder than Ecoflex 10. Don’t use Platsil gel 10 as that is much harder, it is measured on the A scale which is harder than the 00 scale. Both Ecoflex and Platsil (also dragonskin) cute milky white but are completely transparent when used thinned down as a paint.
@@CarolynDoughtyDolls Oooh, I see! I had forgotten about the A hardness thing, oopsie. Thank you so much. That clears up reading the numbers. So, do you recommend I use Platsil 00 with Ecoflex 10? Or would it be too hard and create a shell or skin over the silicone which would feel bad over the softness of ecoflex10? I want to make sure I buy the right one and not end up making the kiddo feel weird to the touch, do not want softshell baby. :( Ty so much for your help. 🥰
Have you ever used nitrile gloves while painting? I have metal braces on my fingers(to prevent hyperextension) and I am trying to keep them from leaving marks on the silicone. I am trying to find true "latex-free" but I am very worried.
Ironroseadorables personal collection yes there are vinyl gloves that are totally latex free you can use those but don’t get the powdered ones in case the powder affects the cure of the silicone
So are you not supposed wear those rubber gloves? How are you supposed touched doll while your painting it to keep your oils off the doll😯😊? I paint vinyl reborn babies and I always wear gloves so I don't get oils on the doll.

Hello, I have been painting my own silicone babies for awhile. Your methods are much like I do. I love you applicators but would love to know where in Australia I can find these. Yes I could order from you but we are travelling around Australia so postage , the wait from overseas is too long. Could you please advise what these applicators are used for so I can source. Thankyou for sharing you silicone painting for free, so many women want to paint silicone and have no idea how. Sending hugs
I know this is an old video, but would it be ok to use platsil on a baby that is poured in ecoflex 20 and if so what type of platsil. Also would platsil be best for repairs too. Blessings!
Carolyn Doughty thank you so much I am in America and will order some is this from smooth on or another supplier. Also where can I buy the OSs I was just searching the web and it brought me to your site! 😀 I would love to give this to my daughter her birthday is on the 15th so I don’t think it would make it here in time from you! Thanks so much
Jodi Bradley if you search for Silicone Art Materials (SAM) they make OSS and are based in the US. The Platsil I think you can get from Brick in the Wall I believe xx
I love her little face. She's so sweet.

Hi Carolyn thank you for your tutorials, I wanted to ask how long do I wait to cure each layer. Do I paint a layer and then let it dry for a while then apply the next layer ? Or can I paint one layer after the other ? Thanks ❤
Ok so question on the thinner. Do you use a type of mineral spirits?
did you used psycho paint or something else? I know English but I can't understand that begging part exactly because sounded confused.
you're amazing! thank you for sharing

How do u know which colors to choose for each skin color?
Excellent!!
Hi Carolyn 😊 thanks for the video. I would like to know if I can use Mona Lisa Orderless Thinner to thin out my mixture?

Would a sea sponge work best sense it’s natural?
Can I use mineral spirits for the paint thinner?

May I ask where did you get the mold that u poor the silicone in
LITTLE REBEL you don’t buy a mould you have to sculpt the baby yourself in clay then make a mould from it.
