BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS--HOW TO PAINT & HOW TO SELL???
Permalink   

I just received my first Beautiful Friends doll kits and I have a couple of questions but first I'd like to say how impressed I am at the quality of the kits. I am excited to be able to offer these dolls in my new shop. I love being able to say, "THESE KITS ARE MADE IN AMERICA!!!"  

Now, for my questoins:  First, I am assuming that I will be able to paint these with Genesis Heat Set Paints just as I would any Secrist Vinyl Kit. I currently have a customer with dark skin tones and I plan to paint a BF "Annette" in dark tones for her.  However, it's been a long time since I did a reborn in dark skin tones and I'm wondering if there are some special techniques I should be aware of in painting these dolls.  Any tutorials that you know of that would help me?

Also, do you have any ideas on how to promote these dolls in my area. I am currently giving away a Sophia's outfit with the sale of each doll.  Also, I am an active volunteer with our local public schools and I plan to promote the BF Dolls in some way thru donating to the PTO groups in elementary schools--any ideas on how to best accomplish this would be appreciated. 

Sincerely,

Glad you like the kits. They are the same vinyl as the Secrist kits and yes, you can use Genesis on them. I like the fact that they are made in the USA also, one of the drawing points!
