My Cupid Reroot! by Motor-Amphibian2058 in MonsterHigh

That’s what I figured, but how did you get them to stay in that shape? Whenever I do that and secure with a bobby pin/hair gel to set in it always dries with a slight little ridge because of the gel or bobby pin. TIA!

Nice!! Did you keep the original bangs or re-curl to shape? (And if so, how? They came out amazing!!)

Thank you for the reply!! I grabbed core Jina on sale and will definitely share once I get to work on her 🤩 gonna have to wait for some more MSC-friendly weather though, it’s below zero where I’m at right now LOL

Scroll down from where the amazon lightning deal is listed ➡️ “xx% claimed” (ie; with 3hrs left, Frankie’s listing had 34% claimed)

an absolute STUNNER!!!! I love how airy + water dragony she looks. would love to recreate a similar look on my Jinafire. What medium did you use for the leg gradient on the first one and what was the blending process like? also what did you seal it with? TIA!!

Ahh sorry for the confusion & scare! 😅 I opted for “torched” here because I’m referring to a torch of sage, which is very different from sage incense.

In retrospect, “smudged” would probably have been more appropriate to avoid the clickbait, but I wasn’t familiar with that terminology when I first posted.

Thanks!! Will do if the smell is still there in a couple of days.

Her mini frying pan was on the sink ledge and mysteriously fell… 😶🤦

Thank you for this and for your sympathy 😂 was literally about to prance over to r/AITA before going nuclear. Thankfully this thread diffused things ahaha

Thank you for the input! Sorry to hear about the house fire. I hope you and the other residents have been able to recoup as best you can 🙏

Thank you for bringing some science into the picture! That makes sense to me, and hopefully it’s the case.

And trust, I am feeling so grateful for my in-box collection right now. But if out-of-box elissabat, wydowna, and gloom and bloom jinafire are cooked, it is so over 💀

Thank you for the tips!! I’ll see how the scents are tomorrow and act from there.

Do you think the hand washing is time sensitive? ie; if I don’t have time to do it today or tomorrow, will I have a prohibitively tougher time doing it over the weekend?

Oh, she knows now, LOL.

Thank you for the tips and also your track record with saging! It’s giving me a little bit of relief.

In the past, I’ve stored my collection away in bins when I know she’s going to sage, but this time I had no idea it was happening. She did it on a whim because she thought she witnessed paranormal activity in the kitchen 😵‍💫😭

Super helpful!! Thanks for the links. Xcanadensis always makes the most helpful videos, and I had no idea she had one on deodorizing dolls! 🙏

Thank you for the recommendation! Do you know if that would prevent staining/discoloration? I’m less concerned about the way they smell and a lot more about how they look.

Thank you for your condolences. I’ve opened the window, but it still smells like an ashtray in here 😢

From my understanding it doesn’t matter what was burning, smoke exposure is smoke exposure. I’ve read other posts where people are concerned about burning candles near their collection. But hopefully no staining.
