Oh my god! I'm intrigued! How are these made? Tell me everything! This got my mind spinning in all sorts of ways...
You buy the kits I used to buy mine from eBay .. you use genisis heat paint again from eBay , special brushes to do certain things .. you build up the base colours or the skin tones normally about 6 layers before you do the mottling and fine detail .. remembering this as to look like a new born so you have a few bluish areas round mouth nose etc then you bake after each coat of paint to seal the paint after that is done you root or paint the hair . I prefer to root it’s mohair and you micro root one hair at a time .. then you fill the limbs with crystal sand it’s a special sand ! You use fibre fill in the body and polly pellets to weigh same with the head it’s a long process but so rewarding as you watch the unpainted head limbs begin to resemble a real baby phewww I know I’ve missed stuff bu thst is basically how it’s done the kits are on eBay if your going to give it a go buy a cheap kit , defo use genisis heat paint and NOT THE AIR DRY ONES .. xxx❤️❤️❤️

@Zab amazingly beautiful!
Thanx! I'm not that happy, I could have done it better. That's how it works for me, I have a hard time to stop and after I see all the flaws...it's a mini painting, only 15x15 cm and I made it with acrylics. I feel it's harder than oil painting, but it dries fast!

I know how that is. I am never 100% satisfied by my work. Instead, I can pick out the flaws but also the great things I did well on.

I really like your use of color. The highlights really add great tone.

Needed something to do with my hands so I found some old plastic toys at a yard sale. Now I'm painting them, sawing them to pieces and giving them new life! I think I need to bling some up too, with glitter, because everyone needs at least one golden pig!
