Thatās the one I have, and I still canāt get it right!
I am truly sorry ladies if I have offended anyoneā¦That was not my intentionā¦I honestly did not realize reborners are using buckshot for weighting these days or I would not have mentioned itā¦There is a slight difference in BBās verses buckshot - not just the size but the type of coating used on them so I was referring more to the small buckshot and not BBs (I honestly didnāt know anyone used BBs at all so I guess I need to come out from under my rock and look aroundā¦lol - so I apologize if my mention above was offensive - it was just meant to be instructional so that people could see what can happen if the wrong products are usedā¦)
Not that it matters but just a little bit of info if you do intend to use BBs for weighting - Stainless steel is basically just an alloy steel meaning some form of steel mixed with chrome. The chrome forms a protective layer over the metal and the amount of chrome used has a direct effect on how well the stainless steel item holds up to environment. There are many different alloy mixes but to be āstainlessā it must be some form of steel mixed with chrome. Many of the shiny BBs are actually a steel alloy covered with a zinc coatingā¦Copper coated BBās corrode much more quickly than the othersā¦
Putting them in the rubber gloves might work great? Mostly, I just wanted to say, I did not mean to offend any oneā¦
Ultimately, each reborner has to do what they feel is best for their dollsā¦
Oh Starrā¦I donāt think you offended anyoneā¦I, for one, appreciate all the great info!!!
People can take it and
use it
or not use it
(the information you gave) as they wishā¦
some people do like the look of glaze on the eyesā¦
but it always made me think of how my kids looked when they
had a coldā¦haha!!!
I only did it on a couple of babiesā¦then gave it upā¦I had alot of trouble getting it applied evenlyā¦grrrā¦
Thanks Cherieā¦very appreciatedā¦ sometimes when I type things I forget that people on the other end may not know me well enough to know I am genuine in trying to help othersā¦lol.
ā¦
I think you were fine Starr! Your replies are always helpful.
I, for one - being new- always appreciate all the advice you give - I think you are a very knowledgeable lady in your craft. Itās awesome that you are secure enough with your talent to help others. Not everyone would be so nice. So thank you
Nikki, I will try to find the packet they came in or alternately the order from 2014. Wish me luck. I know they are acrylic and came from Vynetteās Bassinette shop here in Australia. Iāll get back to you.
Your advice is always awesome. So are your babies! You are always here to help and that is great. I actually find myself seeing you commented on a post and I go read itā¦ because you repliedā¦ lol.
She has these ā¦donāt think they are the same tho. Have to check on that in the morningā¦well ā¦later in the morning. Old night owl me is still up @ 4am. LOL
You have a sharp eyeā¦it was Willā¦He was well painted an rootedā¦the reborner did a very lovely job so was a shame that this āinnardsā were a little offā¦Fortunately we caught it though I did give him a new body just the sameā¦he is all packed and heading home in a few hoursā¦I do love seeing other artist work so that is the nice part about getting some to fix up even if it is just something minorā¦
Ahh Iām not the only Aussie night owl LOL
Heeheeā¦I am always up all nightā¦I go to bed between 5am - 7am every morningā¦I have always been that way. Thankfully hubby is a night owl too or we would never see each other. lol
Yes I can relate, I see daylight first before sleep. Iām like a possum, canāt close my eyes.
Hahahaha, I told my hubby we must be āMole Peopleā because we come out in the dark and go in when itās daylightā¦lol
Thanks Michelleā¦He is nice and cuddly nowā¦
LOL I only do the late late shifts at work, I tended to run into walls when asked to do an early start. I was a danger to myself. But it seems that almost everyone else prefers the early shifts so ā¦works for me.
@Missly21 When you sleep how long do you sleep for? And how about you @westernstarr??? I go to sleep at about 3 am butā¦ I like to sleep til at least 9! Beauty sleep is not overrated!!! I soak up all I can get!!!
I do 8 hours especially if I have to go to work that afternoon. I donāt think my beauty sleep works anymore. Used to tho. Lol
We are the sameā¦lol I hate morningsā¦Even when I was a manager, I would schedule myself for the night shift so rarely worked morningsā¦It is funny, I can sleep 4 - 5 hours during the day and go all night but if I go to sleep at night - not only does it take me an hour or longer to drop off, I could sleep 10 hours and still wake up so tired I can barely see straightā¦
I sleep 4 - 6 hours usuallyā¦then about once every 6 month I crash and sleep about 10 hours - then Iām good to go for another 6 monthsā¦lol
