Dollieh Sanctuary

I spent most of the day sculpting some masks out of neutral colored sculpy. Maybe like a half hour of sculpting, 15 minutes to bake, and then spend some time sanding and scraping. Plus painting time. I don't even know the extact time I just know this took a few hours.

But here's some photos that are basically start to finish. When they're completely dry I'll post pictures of the dolls wearing them:

Awesome!! I really like the added feathers, too!

Thank you!!~
And here's the masks on Mizuki,Gabriel, and Xalez:





The blue one is pretty much the best out of the 3. I will happily sculpt one for anyone here. Later I'll make a more official post in the right place for it. The only challenging part had been getting the eyeholes to be even, to be honest. I am willing to part with the blue one in case anyone falls in love with it. lol

Cool masks! I need to make one for my girl as the character wears it sometimes but too but I'm afraid it will ruin her lashes...

If you position and make the eyeholes large enough you should be able to make a mask that wont ruin her lashes.

Lashes are beautiful but BOY do they get in the way! lol

Oh~! I really like the gold and black one best. Great job!

Those look great! I think I like the black and gold best too, but they are all nice and look wonderful on your dolls! Keep making the cool stuff!

*3* I'm glad these are being well received! I do need more pratice with the sculpy to make it all look right and not crack or break while I mold it to the face, it happened on the two black ones. Sanding and scraping with a sculpting knife helps a little, but I'd like to try and have it even the first time. Though I do need a dremmel to help move things along....

If anyone's gets really interested I'd like to use anyone who wants one as my tester's for quality control. But mostly these seem resilient. I dropped one on the floor twice and there wasn't any breakage, and after the 15min baking they still stayed a little flexible.

I'm curious if you plan on making these for bigger dolls lol
I've wanted to make some mardi-gras masks for my dolls ever since I saw the ones on DollZone, but I don't have a sculpy oven and I've been told one should not use the same oven one uses for food to bake polymer clays.

Wut.
Crap. Really? >_>

Dana's my only large scale dolls. I definitely will but she's the only head sculpt I have to go on.
