Some (hopefully helpful) advice for the next time you work for epoxy sculpt: I work in layers when I'm working with it! So I'll make something, wait for it to harden up and then sculpt on top of that! BONUS! Waiting a bit for epoxy sculpt to harden up (but not COMPLETELY dry and hardened!) You can do more detailed sculpting! So if you ever sculpt a teeny tiny face ever again, make the base of the head, wait for that to harden, and then add the facial features so you don't end up smooshing it! THAT ALL BEING SAID: this turned out SO CUTE and now you got me wanting to sculpt tiny art nouveau women 😂

Aluminum foil works great to bulk out armatures for projects like these, and with clay that needs to be baked. Bonus hack: if you're sculpting a figure with a long skirt, you can totally skip sculpting the legs underneath. Just bulk out the shape with foil and lay sheets of clay on top like fabric.

RACHEL! What the heck this turned out so well. It’s such a great conversation starter too. Like “hey that’s a cool lamp” “thanks! It’s ME”. Brava 😂❤

Just for the epoxy process, I’d recommend using a set of scales next time! That way it’ll be much easier to accurately measure and will therefore hopefully mean the curing process is perfect each time. I’d also recommend a chopping board of some description, and a clay-rolling pin. Just suggestions though! Thought the video was brilliant :D Sending love from England

I'm really impressed by the sheer amount of prep work you did before starting. Usually it's just you jumping in, flailing around for a bit, and then pulling together something amazing. This time you did soooo much prep work and then just did amazing from the beginning. She's beautiful and I love your little lamp lady.

reading the comments I love how many of us saw the title and were like 'oh she's cosplaying as a lamp today' and didn't question it at all

Me reading the video title: "hmm, a lamp cosplay... Maybe like Lumiere" Me as soon as Rachel explains: "oooooh, that kinda makes more sense" I enjoyed this, as with all your videos. Love your artistic flair.

Ok, the Home Alone bit got me. 🤣 But it turned out wonderfully! Your range of skill never fails to amaze! (And I loved spotting the mouse knight in the background too.)

SO LOVELY!!!! Also! You can always start with some apoxie sculpt for the face and let that cure then add onto it (and/or also use some exacto blades, carving and sanding tools on it after it cures!) This was a wonderful project! loved every second of it!

I'm sure a tone of other people will have suggested it already, but you can also bulk up a wire armature with tinfoil to give it more mass and stability. That way you won't use as much clay, and it will hold itself upright better instead of smooshing under its own weight. Anyway thank you for introducing me to the world of art nouveau lamps, I am now PINING for the tiffany snail lamp that i cannot afford lmao

You did a fabulous job sculpting with a very difficult medium. I use epoxy sculpt for doll modifications, the best part is because it responds so well to carving after the fact. That you were able to get as much detail in the face as you did, without carving and sanding after, is super impressive.

Can so tell you're feeling better, Rachel

And now.... I'd love to see a matching lamp with hubby sculpted upon it! 😍

"LAMP!" I already love. Also, that dress. SO CUTE!

As an art model for a living, it was such a joy to watch you figure out head units (cranial units sounds so much more legit lol) and make an armature and build up a sculpture. I'm 7 heads tall as I think is the average person so I was a little confused at your counts of 3s lol, but you did a fantastic job☺️ Always a joy to watch your videos

This has brought me so SO much joy! I agree that art nouveau lamps have something so scrumptious to them! NGL, when I saw you couldn't find your measuring instruments, I thought you were going to pull a Micarah Tewers and make up your own XD Even though you didn't do that or dress up as a lamp, this was still one of most enjoyable to watch videos you've done in a long time! And the thing that made it the most enjoyable was seeing your excitement as you made it! I'm so happy this went smoothly and that you're happy with the final product! (which is SO whimsical, I love it!) now *I* want to cosplay as a tiny lamp lady with a glowing flower lighting my way!

You definitely are Bob Ross mixed with Ms. Frizzle! Also, I'm with you on the ASMR thing.

For some reason I thought you were going to drape fabric on the figure & starch it like papier maché, but you sculpted it out of clay. So talented! I probably would have started with a Barbie 😅

I absolutely LOVE that intro dress! I NEED IT!

a little bit too late but as a sculptor myself i would recommend not only to mix epoxy sculpt making two snakes and twisting them together like a DNA (it's WAAAY easier to blend them doing this way), but also to use cold porcelain when you need to imitate fabric. this material is used in artificial floral art and it's very elastic and can be rolled to a very thin layer! p.s. i love your channel and your chaotic energy and your art so much, you inspire me to keep doing my own stuff

I feel like Rachel is the Jenna Marbles of sewing/crafting KZread. The vibe is there and it is immaculate

New subscriber. I see this lamp in all your videos and always think "Oh my goodness! Such a beautiful vintage lamp, I wonder where she bought it." And now I finally see you HAND MADE the little figure and modeled her yourself?! Incredible work.

Tip for sculpting faces: use a ball of aluminium foil ontop of the wire as a base. It provides more structure and saves you money on clay

Rachel, the lamp turned out to be a work of vintage art.

My favorite era with the Arts and Crafts movement. Stupendous job Rachel.

I wish there was a INSIDE OUT kind of movie about your mental processess. Also, is there anything that you say... nah, that i CAN'T do? because you really are good at everything you set to do! Just had so much fun picturing Michaelangelo

I love that Lamp Rachel is throwing up the love sign. She does indeed love lamp, and lamp love is self-love. 🤟

It never ceases to amaze me how talented and creative in so many mediums Rachel is. How cool! 💖

My advice about the apoxie sculpt and smooshy face issues: Mix up smaller amounts at once, and do the base layer first, and let it harden, and build more on top of it with fresh clay. If you do have parts where you added too much, it can be sanded, carved, cut, or filed away. If the bit of clay you're working with at any given time is too smooshy, walk away for 10 minutes and come back when it's firmed up a bit. (but don't forget about it hahaha don't ask how I know)

Now I am looking for flower lamps to add to my office. My office is a smash of vintage / witch/ fandom memorabilia. lol

My current "Make" project isn't exactly a make. My dad has asked me to repaint his vast collection of lawn gnomes. I paint with acrylic. He brought me spray paint, which makes sense. It's going in the yard. I'm finding it really interesting to mix colors. My arms look like a kaleidoscope each day when I get done, but when you get that perfect rosy pink flesh tone out of a few sprays of pink and yellow and just a spritz of white... *chef's kiss*. It makes me happy. The project is going to take me forever, but atm I've got that creative drive to do it. I just hope it lasts me 25+ some odd gnomes and other figurines before the weather breaks or I burn out.

@rachelmaksy you can put apoxy sculpt in a plastic zip loc bag and heat it up by 1) putting it in the microwave for a short amount of time or 2) putting it under hot water.

I'm amazed at how creative you've managed to stay and how diverse your video topics are. I love when you bring new things to the channel, from a little felt frog boi to making costumes for your dog to a near perfect recreation of a movie dress to making/remaking furniture pieces, to... turning yourself into furniture pieces? It's such a bright spot in my week!❤

5:07 I really vibe with the addition of the bubble hat. Also, I firmly believe we all pine after some sort of niche decor item, even if we haven’t discovered it yet. And you calling it the Pixar lamp if it was the 1920s was too precious 😭 Also, also, this was wildly successful. 😮

I am SO GLAD I’m not the only one who whispers to myself when crafting. I am making a dress from a vintage pattern in my “sewing room,” which is also where my 15yo son’s computer is located. He sits doing Spanish while I mutter to myself. Every once in a while he just kind of gives me the side eye. But seriously - turning lined bodices is always an adventure to me. When it works I’m GOING to whisper yell “YES!” 😂

It can be so hard to decorate in front of something so dramatic. But she fits so perfectly in the space, exactly like an occupant of your forest scene.

rachel: „i‘m not sure if people will want to watch this, but whatever. strap in“ us: „i don‘t care what rachel does at this point. she could just sit in a corner reading a book in silence and we‘d watch it!“

Also, Rachel's dress in the first section of the video is SO BEAUTIFUL.

Nina's card reminded me of when I, as a small child, was thoroughly scandalized by hearing my grandma say 'crap' which I thought was a strong swear word. Precious.

Drive out those demons that young women all have to some degree. I wish someone had told me that when I was your age.❤️🇨🇦 I’m from Canada as you can tell by the 🇨🇦

This turned out wayyyy better than I would have expected. Scultping this level of detail is harrrrrd. I was wondering if you could bypass the whole sculpting process by taking an old barbie, making her they way you want the result to look (curl her hair, glue fabric to her to make the dress) and soak the whole thing in spray glue to make it hard. Then plastidip, then paint. I think I will try that myself at some point in the future when I am in dire need of a vintage lamp.

Holy moly I’m glad I hit refresh! I can definitely use a dose of Rachel right now ❤️ Edited to add that I actually just gave up on lamp shopping and opened KZread only to watch lamp content!! 😂

This is such a victory for learning how to use epoxy!!!!! It can be so fun to learn different mediums- and its an absolute vibe as a finished project
