I use the Genesis paints regularly. I love them. I use them very diluted on my dolls. Even if you use the heat gun to set them, the final coat of paint needs to be in an oven for 8 minutes. Don't think I would chance it on a Teddy...
I can't imagine working on a bear that small...I have made tiny dolls and doll clothes and boy, I would much rather make full size ones! Good job!
Well, I always use the safety joints on my babies. There are a couple of different kinds. The cheaper ones do pop ocassionally but I have never had the secure ones pop. I do adjust the tension to how I want it but once you have the baby put together it is done. I have removed them also but they are not reuseable once they are pulled apart...you basically have to break them. Now I don't know if I should use them on my bears or not. I do have a difficult time with the cotter pin joints. I do not have so much strength as I used to. Hummmmmmm, perhaps this is a trial and error situation???
I was wondering about the joints...I'm new so please bear with me...Is there a reason you use the cotter pin joints and not the plastic joints in the bears?
