Lately this hobby is keeping me glued, you know? Today's project was this cutie and I really like how she turned out.

The first one is the second version of him, had to remake him cause I learned the hard way I have to use a lower gauge wire for smaller joint bends or else it’ll snap. Eyes and mouth can be swapped with magnets but I haven’t made the other pieces yet. Shout out to my mom for her festive fall decor that makes for good pics

General help! How cooked are my lungs?

20 Upvotes

I was cleaning my room and found this can of FolkArt Clearcote glaze like this. I've had it for almost 10 years, and I don't recall hearing anything exploding or smelling anything weird before so it must've exploded while I was away somewhere. Should I be worried? or is it only the vapor that messes up the lungs and it's fine once it dries? Is it ok if it's already solidified for who knows how long? Should I go get an x-ray or something?

Note: It was stored in a generic plastic bag in a shoebox, and I almost never open the windows, so could the fumes have reached me at any time after the explosion? Am I cooked?

I apologize for her nudity, haven't been able to get her clothes made yet, as I need her finished first before I can make a base for the clothing.

General help! Eyeless doll ?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi guys, so recently I discovered that I could get the Eyeless doll look by buying a doll with painted eyes and using acetone to remove the eye painting. Then the doll would be how I want.

But I have 2 Paola Reina dolls that have eyes that I would like to remove. They are both made from soft vinyl.

Anyone who has done doll customizations have any suggestion on how to make the eye area flat? Any tips will be appreciated. I'm worried if I use some sort of putty I won't be able to get a colour match. Then again I'm also wondering if I could craft skin toned eyes in a different shade and have it look somewhat intentional but still achieve the eyeless effect. One of my dolls is white and the other not pictured here is black. She has her little wig cap because I'm trying to make a wig for her.

General help! Mr Super Clear Matte drying Gloss

2 Upvotes

Hey guys - I was given a half used can of MSC Matte since it’s been pretty hard to find. Ever since I started using it the finish has been drying gloss. I think before it was given to me maybe there was an issue with the particles that mattify the spray.

I ordered a brand new can, will using this one and giving my Barbie a proper spray fix that gloss finish? I really would rather not have to start this project over again. She’s done all except the shine.
