What!! They were great for your first time!!! I hope my critique didn’t encourage you to strip them. Wash them well before you start to repaint so the paint sticks. This time they will be even better though

Yes, first time. No DaniDolly, nothing you said made me decide to strip them. Your critique was full of kind words and inspirational. It was that layer of purple mottle. In low lighting, it was noticeable…very noticeable. It just wouldn’t sit well with me. And besides, I can be a little obsessed with my work.
I did scrub them well in soapy Dawn water, rubbed them down with rubbing alcohol and hung them upside down to dry overnight.

I used Dark Auburn alpaca hair. And thank you!
Reborn Elegance on Facebook has some great videos for technique. She has a pricey tutorial. It has a lot of detail, but I’d suggest getting Kate Charles’s tutorial (it’s way less money, and pretty much the same.) I watched some of Krystal’s videos, and I never would have thought to use a mop brush to blend the colors. Watch her videos, they’re not the best lighting, but for the techniques in blending.

Ladies, what’s the best way to “powder fresh” the baby?

@Keneen I put 1/4 to 1/2 of a Wonder Wafer in the diaper or rub the Johnsons cologne on hands first then baby’s body. Some people don’t like it though so you have to be careful unless it is for yourself.
