Hi all that airbrush,
What paints do you use on your airbrushing. I have some but they were for when I was a nail artist. I was looking at same and they have to be heat set on fabric How do I do that on a bear. i can't iron the bear, and the thought of putting the bear in the dryer freaks me out.
Thanks

I don't know for sure Peta but wouldn't a hairdryer work to heat set the colour?? I know Judi does an online class on airbrushing and preparing the paints on North Country Teddy Bears. http://www.kranbearys.com/EbearZ/Airbrushing.htm                               You may find something in the library at the top of the page. Good luck with it

Createx airbrushing paints and Dye-na flow paints are two that I know of - Both of these have been suggested by teddy talkers. If you go into the tips and techniques pages there are few recent discussions on air-brushing.  bear_original

Hi Peta, Like Patsy said, use a hairdryer to heat set.  You'll want to keep the hairdryer in motion and have it on a hot setting. bear_thumb
