Dances With Teddy BearsHi all!
I'd like to get that shadow effect, under and between an embroidered mouth. Not an open mouth, just a shadow of a mouth. Like Melanie Jayne's. Is it done with shading, like with an airbrush, or with embroidery thread?
I've looked through the library but haven't found anything.
Maybe it's too obvious a question. Or I should say, the answer is too obvious. 
Still, I'd love to know.
Thanks!!! 
Taber, Albertahello 
It looks like she may have used a felt marker like prismacolor which is waterproof. That's what I use or I do the shading with a diluted paint. when using the marker right after I put it on I rub it with my finger for a more shaded effect or they come in a colorless blender, just make sure to heat set it with a blow dryer on a hot setting for a minute after, hope that helps
Dances With Teddy BearsThank you so much, Brenda! That shading gives the mouth such a cute and more finished look. I'll try your suggestions. I have prismacolor markers and blender, and a blow dryer. I'll go experiment on some scrap fur.
Thanks again, you're a dear!
:hug:
Taber, Albertayou are very welcome! it should work well and you probably don't even have to blend it much
