Silicone painting Kit

I am thinking about painting silicones someday, are these good starter kits? Which one do you think would be better?

Thank you! I will check that out! :wink:

I like the bowden site. Some cute babies. The starter set from macphersons would be a great price but they should include a mini baby instead of the half face. You cant even make a bundle baby since its not even a whole head. You could try finding just the starter set of paints and look on ebay for a cheap mini silicone baby. If your brave you could get a porcelain baby doll mold from ebay and pour your own mini baby. Its pretty easy to do. My friend showed me how to do it. This was the baby she showed me how to pour. She is a keeper because she has flaws but i still love her anyways :slight_smile: oh and if you do find a mold on ebay make sure its not copywrited. You dont want to use another artists stolen mold. The Seely porcelain molds are ok to use.

Thank you for all the info!!! This is very helpful!! :smile:

I’m interested in trying that out, too, Willow. There’s a member here that sometimes sell the starter kits. I can’t think of her member name right now, though. :confused:

Yes, @unknownfemale, thank you! What brand of paint is that? Are there different types of paint for silicones like there is for vinyl?

I have several Donna Rupert molds that I bought from her when she was doing porcelain dolls so I’m sure there is not copy rights on those. If I could produce them and sell anybody could.
