Hello from Spain: I envy! I wanted to be out there learning to paint ... I am far from your city ... A pity! Your work is awesome. keep in touch
ReplyDeleteHi Marta, thanks for your comment! I wish you were closer to come hang out with us! At least I get to share with you here:)
DeleteI have been trying my hand at repainting my 1:12 girls. There are only about 3 or so face molds around. So, I tried to make them look different.
ReplyDeleteI will have to blog about that sometime in the future.
I wish I had your skills especially when it comes to the hair. Some have mohair and that is a mess to deal with.
I would love to give them natural styles.
Thanks :) I would love to see your blog with your repaints! I agree with ya, that mohair is very messy to style lol
DeleteLooks like a fun day! From what I can see those steady hands came in handy. Great job, ladies!

Thanks Debbie. Yes it was indeed a fun day had by all:)
DeleteHi! I'm sure all of you had a fun time! I would like to try that some day, but I can't find a volunteer among all my dolls! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :) my dolls are lining up to be repainted lol! If you do want to try, my suggestion is to find one of those cheap clone dolls to practice on:)
DeleteYou throw the best dolly parties, C! I was just thinking, I'd like to repaint some of my figures. Do you have a post suggesting the best kind of paint for vinyl faces?
ReplyDeleteSnoopy D7ana ;-D
Thanks D7ana;) you are not that far away to attend one of my repainting parties lol. The paints I use are Liquitex paints! They artistic grade quality and work best for me:) make sure you buy the acrylic paints:) oil based paints don't work well on vinyl and do not dry:)
DeleteYou might also want to invest in a good quality brush. The smaller ones work well for fine line painting like 0/20 etc
Happy repainting. If ya have any other questions feel free to ask:)
It looks like you guys had so much fun! I wish I lived closer. Everyone did a really good job. Practice makes perfect.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday friend!
Thanks Vickey, we wished you lived closer as well:) yes practice and more practice does make perfect!
DeleteAwww, so much fun getting together with dolly friends. Congrats to all the aspiring repaint artists.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vanessa:)
DeleteI'm so jealous! I want to be trained by the master too! Come to Florida!
ReplyDeleteHey Muff, I will be in Florida at the end of September for the Fashion Royality Convention:)
DeleteI went online to see where the convention was going to be held and when I saw it was in Orlando I got all happy and figured I could make a daytrip out of it and then come back home in the evenings... and then I saw the price. OMG, no way! They are sold out and don't even have general admission. Puh-leaze, I am too cheap for that. Even Xena conventions didn't cost that much way way back in the day. For realz.
DeleteHa ha! Some things in life are just worth it for me:) I will visit my sister in Port St Luci for the first part if the week so if your near that let me know:)
DeleteWell, poop! PSL is about 3.5 hours from me. I'm going to have to catch you next time something pops up in Orlando... that has general admission!
DeleteIt looks like a lot of fun was had by all. What a pity so many of us live so far away - how about an online class?
ReplyDeleteWe had lots of fun:) an online class is a wonderful idea.. I just need to find the time to put one together:)
DeleteI would have loved to be there learning how to re-paint with an artist like you... lucky girls!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rossetti, stay tuned... Who knows, maybe one day I will post a video tutorial for repainting:)
DeleteLooks like fun! I would have come! Maybe next time!
ReplyDeleteMs Leo, your always welcome:) just let me know when you would like to come by;)
