has annyone done the paisley kit by denise pratt ?

Buffington · Guru

You might try using the search feature and putting in either the doll kit name or the name of the sculptor and see what it brings up! I know there have been several posts on that kit in forum :)

She is from BB's. do a seach there. XXXXX June.

honeyloves · Guru

I seen her there she sold out !!!!!!!!!!!

sara zata · Guru

They come back in stock, all you have to do is leave a message for them to email you as soon as they are back in stock. XXXXX June.

honeyloves · Guru

will she be as cheap as she was ?

sara zata · Guru

Was she on sale when you looked? Not sure, you could email them and see if it would still be the same price. BB usually have good sales most of the time. XXXXXX June.

honeyloves · Guru

Yes the kits are so cheap I don't know what to get I like tabatha ! I didn't see where you could have them tell you when they were in stock ? But maybe I could email them ? And she was on sale when I seen her

Buffington · Guru

When in doubt or if you have questions, it's always good to ask/e-mail. Usually the companies we deal with are pretty good as a general rule.
I have a Paisley and started him but then put him away for a while. I think I have 3 layers of paint on him. I had to get new arms though as I melted his fingers to the parchment paper for some reason. Maybe cause I was used to Secrist's vinyl and also DD. The BB vinyl is different and I think it also might have some silicone in it. It's very squishy to work with (IMHO)

Wow his fingers melted !! I have a question sorry I write so much here but anyways all the paint I have is the paint that came in my starter course #2 kit here's what they are : eyebrow paint,blush,and crease, don't I need more if so ,what thanks for all your help :):)

Buffington · Guru

Those 3 paint colors are just for the quick paint method. To do "traditional" reborning, you will need at least 2 colors of flesh paint. You can take a look at some of the "kits" to see what they have.
This one is good... http://www.secristdolls.com/inc/sdetail/80596 and it follows the painting DVD.

Or this one if you want to go with an advanced DVD paint set... http://www.secristdolls.com/inc/sdetail/80595

Basic paints I like to see reborners have are:
2 fleshtones (usually flesh 07 & 08)
perwinkle blue internal wash paint (for Secrist doll kits only)
blush (chose from several colors)
eyelid paints
vein paint
creases paint
lip paint

You can get all these as premixed petites except for the fleshtones which are a solid paint. And I usually recommend the larger jars for the fleshtones as you will use more of those than the others.

HOpe this helps hun :)

honeyloves · Guru

Thanks :) I will look those up !

honeyloves · Guru

How do you use enternal wash? :)

Buffington · Guru

Internal? Go to search and put in internal wash and there will be lots of posts. Even one on proportions of what to mix.

honeyloves · Guru

Haha so I went to hobby lobby and looked for aleens paper gloss as I hear you can make baby tears with couldn't find it there anyways so I found this stuff called glossy accents and I think it might work I'm gonna try annyways to give her like the drool on her mouth look and other stuff

Buffington · Guru

So do you still bake the BB vinyl on 265 degrees for 8 minutes?

Buffington · Guru

Yes if you are using heat-set paints. All heat-set paints are the same temp for the same time amount. And bake each time you put on a layer (or veins, or lips/eyebrows, etc).

265 Degrees Ferenheit for 8 minutes, except for the internal wash for Secrist vinyl... 10 minutes instead of 8. :)

I haven't finished my Paisley yet so I have not looked to see about the lashes. Isn't there room for them or just don't they look right on her/him? What seems to be the issue?

Susan · Senior Member

Mmm... sorry... I guess I was doing it wrong. I change the direction of the lashes and looks better! HEHE sorry.... first open eye baby! =)
