Dolls N DreamsHi all, first thanks for the warm welcome yesterday 
I'm working on my first bear kit and having loads of fun. I put all
the joints in last night and will start stuffing today. He looks
pretty cute even though he is flat as a pancake. LOL
At least his arms and legs are all going the right way. 
I had a few questions first...... what kind of paint
will work for shading, I have a ton of acrylics because
that is what I use on my dolls, will that work? Do
you need to heat set after? If so how? Blow dryer? Also can you add paint
to the glass eyes?? If so , how would you set the paint
so if would not come off, use heat or a sealer?
Also I was reading in one of my many book that you
can needle sculpt around the eye area before setting
the eyes. Does this work well?
Thanks in advance,
Tami
