I don’t have much lint problem but lately I started to be paranoid with Americana soft varnish. It cures so fast that if I miss teeny-tiny fuzz from nowhere (no animals in out household) it’s stick inside of varnish and I cannot removed it.
I dislike inserting eyes (and cutting eye flap) and glueing eyelashes.
Veins - they either invisible or to sharp.
And when perfect colors disappearing after a bake.
I have used so many zip ties thinking the body was ok only to discover I hated it!! Gotta order another one!
Happened to me so often, too. Now I thread strings through and put it all together. I leave it like that for a few days, occasionally picking the reborn up and feeling the weight and looking at it. Only once I’m sure I like it all I take the strings out and put zip ties in.
I’m always so sure I am doing the right thing.
I’m back to add more of what I hate… How could I possibly forget picking fuzzies out of my paint, eye insertion and especially eye positioning.
For this to my favorite hobby, I sure do hate a lot of the steps. What do I like so much? I think I like the actual painting process, dressing them up and holding them once they are together, and for sure buying kits.
Oh gosh, thanks ~ you’re too kind
The part I dread most is taking pictures! YIKES!
What I dread most is rooting and eyebrows. UGHHHHH
He’s actually fairly light. Maybe 6-7 pounds. I don’t want him heavy at all.
The thing I really really dread is having to get rid of them. It is most definitely the hardest part for me. And that is why my house is getting full of babies!
@DollyPardon LOL. It reminded me similar thread that we had in January where full of humor @Nikkiroc kept listing, and kept listing… and as a summary it turned out that she only likes to buy kits and shop for babies.
I think we all can relate to that!
@kareninflorida Well, you are good for hiding that dislike because I always admire your photoshoots and just looking at kits reviews I can definitely identify yours - you have your own perfect style.
Thank you, I really appreciate that! Pictures are always such a struggle.
Pictures are hard for met too!
those blasted cable ties!!! I ALWAYS tighten them and part of the head or limb is not in… DUH!!! I go thru them like water(I know they are cheap, BUT think I would get it right the first time EYE ROLL
lol!!! don’t forget spending the money, that’s my fav part LOL
If I make mine that heavy I would not be able to pick the up and hold them very much. But, I do understand that folks purchasing a doll of this size would expect that kind of weight.
eyebrows.
modge podging the flanges.
and getting them assembled but I know I am almost done so I trick myself into feeling excited.
I love all the rest of it.
If I rooted I would hate rooting, but I hate rooting so I don’t.
I hate taking photos and creating the listings. I have a couple of babies right now that im almost too embarrassed to list. They’ve been done and ready to sell for weeks…while I drag my booty on taking photos . By the time i list them people are going to think theyre used, cause their “born” date is so long ago.
Adding cable ties to a body is always brutal. There’s something about the entire assmbling process that just puts me on edge. Next would be switching outfits during a shoot. Silly, I know, but it’s tiring. Painting is always soothing, but what comes next is the sour bit for me.
