Iplehouse is my all time FAVORITE doll company! I prefer 1/3 scale dolls and I LOVE their aesthetic as a whole. They are doll makers that have a story to tell and as a (soon to be) doll maker who is a story teller by trade, Iplehouse ticks all the boxes for me!
This is really amazing. It is nice to see you making your own dolls. You are doing a great job and you will have your own company and successful business. I wish you progress, good luck and success. I had fun while watching this great video. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! It's hard to share much of this part of the process since it's a lot of long and slow mixing, waiting, and finishing work... but I really enjoy the way the dolls are turning out. :)
This was such an informative video. So much love, work, and sanding goes into making and finishing these dolls. I’m so glad you’re showing the process and sharing your experiences. I wish you great and continued success! ❤
You are truly multitalented!!!! I've been watching your videos for a lot of years and watching you grow has been such a joy! Keep doing what you love❤❤❤❤❤
Are you familiar with Miyuki Miyabe's Brave Story? It's a novel with a heavy JRPG element. A fun read, but the book is thick enough to use as a bludgeon. Since my favorite genre is survival horror, my video game inspired stories took that bent. They creeped people out even when I toned down the horror element.
I've heard of it! It sounds like something I'd enjoy, but I have such a hard time getting through those big heavy books now... my reading time is so limited I have to keep a narrow focus on reading the genres I'm writing. But maybe someday I'll get to it. I don't think I'd be able to handle a book inspired by a survival horror game. That's one of the few things I can't bear to play!
I use dyes formulated for use with urethane resins. Right now I use Alumilite dyes. They have a range of dyes that come in skin tones, so you can use them as a base and then tint with other colors to adjust the shade. The resins I use are both solid white when they cure, so I don't need to use anything to make them opaque. I like the Alumilite white resin better, it has a nicer texture and a pretty glow to the colors... but it is so much harder to cast with that I don't think I will use it often, unfortunately.
