Sculpting Wings 8/11 -Now In Resin-

Postby IzabethS » Sat Jun 23, 2012 9:10 am

Hi there,

I'm more active over at JS, but I figured I should post here too since there's a lot of my dollieh friends floating around here as well!

Anyway, I've been working on a pair of wings for about two weeks now and I'm slowly getting to the final stages. I sculpted them first out of super sculpy and refined them with apoxie sculpt before attacking them with sandpaper. I've finally received the right strength magnets in the mail so the holes are now the right size for them. They are intended for YOSD sized dolls and I've been working with my girlfriend's LTF as a model since she has magnets built into her back.

Image
This is just the wings, I'm really proud of them. I've talked to Gerald (Zirc's wonderful husband) and he's willing to teach me how to cast them in resin!

And now for some side views:

I also have some older pictures of them on other sized dolls like here:

Here you can see them compared between and MSD and a YOSD. They work great on both.

And for giggles, one picture of them on a 70cm's head:

Val you are such a goth, stop denying it!

Thankee! And yes I did, and there's more work to do! After I move I'm going to have Gerald take a look at them again to assess how much more work I should put into them before they're ready to be molded and cast!

Thankee!

The best part is, they are ready to have molds made of them and to be cast! I'm so excited! Now to just find the time to bug Gerald to teach me how! :D

Thanks! I've started the mold making process, but Gerald and I ran into a problem of not having any silicone so it has to wait a week before I can make the molds!

I'm confused... you're Zirconmermaid? Why the two accounts..?

-edit- I mean you're linking to her book in your sig..? Or did you write it together? Since "Iza" is the nick of the author?

Oh no no no no, I'm not Zircon, she's a friend of mine. And the book is mine, I just happen to have the same first name as Zircon. I'm working with Gerald to cast the wings because I don't have the necessary knowledge or supplies to do so on my own ^_^

-edit-

She wrote me the intro to the book.
