Thanks to , whose Vurmling head i used for this tutorial and thanks to hubby who assisted me by playing the hand model!
You can't make your own mold/cast or don't want to waste money and material? I offer you my help! Like for i can make molds and casts from YOUR object for the fraction of the price you would spend on materials! Send me a note!
Have you seen my other tutorials?

I use Mold Star 15 Slow - That allows you to work in a decent speed, especially when you mold multiple pieces.

Thank you so much for replying and for the information.
I can't tell you how intimidated I am to mold/cast these doll pieces.
I hope you don't mind me asking you more questions.Β
Do you use Smooth-Cast for your doll parts.Β
Have you ever had an issue with the heads being to heavy?

You're very welcome!
No, go ahead - ask me what you want
I use polyurethane resin form Tap Plastics.
I never had problems with this yet. You can make a slush castΒ -->Β Β and control the weight of the head with this method. If the head is too heavy in the end, you can use a dremel to carve resin back out of the head - a dusty annoying work!

Thank you so much. I'm sorry I missed your livestream. I'm in the middle of moving and haven't been able to use a computer.

Do you think there are some items that you should do a two part mold for all the time? Or will this method work for almost anything

It depends on the object you want to mold. Sometimes a two-part mold is more ideal due risk of failures or destruction while the molding and casting process. It's up to you to figure out and choose the right way!
