Welcome to 2018!!!!

Hello to all my peeps!  I am sorry I have not posted here in a while!  I got very busy during the holidays and new year.  I have been working on custom ordered babies, teaching air dry painting classes, working my day job and all the usual family stuff.   I often find it has been easier to set down and make a quick live Facebook video on my FB business page and then load it to Youtube so that is where a lot of my updates have been.   Be sure to go join my Youtube channel and check out some my recent videos about new exciting product and techniques I have been using, new kits and what is going on in my world.  Here is the link to the most recent one I have done.   I will sit down soon and write up some information here about the latest RebornFX products I have been using.  Also, anyone who wishes to take an air dry painting class from me, I will be teaching at IDTS in Florida on June 26&27.  Be sure to visit their website or mine to sign up for the class! 




 IDTS 2 -DAY WORKSHOP ON VINYL
REBORN DOLL PAINTING WITH
AIR DRY PAINTS AND PANPASTELS
TUES. & WED, JUNE 26 & 27, 2018
9:30 am to 5:00 pm each day
(1 hour lunch break)

Class Taught by reborn doll artist Angie Jones of Lil Dumplins Nursery
Since 2011, Angie has researched and tested many different brands of air-dry paints and air-dry mediums using them on vinyl dolls.  She has gained an extensive knowledge of how the vinyl reacts to these paints and mediums.  Since that time, she has been blogging about her findings and writing simple tutorials on air dry doll painting.   She has also been contacted by other artists and those selling air dry paints for vinyl dolls seeking advisement and instruction on the functional aspects of these products.  Angie has worked with local students, both one on one and in the class setting, to teach them how to effectively apply air dry paints onto vinyl reborn doll kits.

In this class, the student will be taught how to mix and apply RebornFX Air Dry paints on a vinyl reborn doll kit.  Class also covers priming the kit, creating blue under tones and veining, mottling, color blending, shading creases, and blushing.  I will also show students how to blend PanPastels pigment powders using them to color enhance their reborn doll kits then set them, so they can continue air dry painting. 
 Students will also be given instruction on at home final sealing of the paints once they are cured for 72 hours.
 Each student will take home their painted reborn doll kit with cloth body and a copy of class tutorial.
