DIY Silicone Toy Molds with LEGO 🧱

#moldmaking #makingtoys #artvlog
Hello! Take a glance at another busy work week and what it's like as a toy artist. In this video I share a behind the scenes look into the designer toy mold making process. I start with a 3D printed character and turn it into a resin sculpture, making a two part mold using Lego bricks. So grab a snack and sit tight. Hope you enjoy it!
