The bane of the cloth dollmaker.....turning bloody fingers!<br />Tips?<br />1) Make mitt hands<br />2) Replace arms with wings<br />3)Get really good quality quilter's muslin with a high thread count......then make sure you hold your mouth right when you are turning the fingers.<br />Susie McMahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14478914042524948807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33023294.post-56771590799999635572012-11-21T13:03:29.674-05:002012-11-21T13:03:29.674-05:00Do you have any doll maker's needles?

Too thick for needle sculpting faces, (because they leave a pin mark) but designed, I guess, for sewing button joints and things. They're longer than a darning needle, apparently. Would they be long enough to use without the paint crinkling?Rhissannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09001501916407616825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33023294.post-41629806501361056862012-11-21T10:33:05.054-05:002012-11-21T10:33:05.054-05:00Thank you Susie!!

I may need to borrow your stone mold....I may run stones around the inside of the circle. That may not be til spring though.<br />I think we're gonna have an inagural (sp?) fire this coming weekend.....smores? drinks? not sure yet. I will let you know! :)Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14734680985122892451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33023294.post-44745943841159284412012-11-19T10:19:40.331-05:002012-11-19T10:19:40.331-05:00I knew you'd like that one! :)
The vines are ...I knew you'd like that one! :)<br /><br />The vines are not planned, they just kind of happen. Completely hand painted. The gesso stiffens it up. They're still movable. After the gesso I use acrylic paint which stiffens the fabric even more. They can still be moved though. I need to get a longer needle though. Using a small one kind of 'crunches' the material. I worked it back out but would rather have not had it happen at all.<br /><br />The sad thing about the phone is that I will probably never use 90% of what it is capable of...<br /><br />I can't wait to see what Jan does to the kitchen...she has lots of accessories for it and she's even going to add a 'window' with an outdoor scene over the sink.

They're beautifully painted, really lovely and delicate. Do you plan them? Are they completely free-form? And how does the gesso dry? Is it stiff or tactile like cloth? I need answers, dammit!<br /><br />Nice phone. I think you now have more computing power in your hand than the entire Apollo space mission.<br /><br />Oh! And I'll have to follow the entertainment kitchen conversion because I'm looking at a really ugly bugger of an entertainment center right now.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!Rhissannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09001501916407616825noreply@blogger.com
