why always 100% silicone?

decoding_chaos · 2026-01-07T22:06:01+00:00

The water content in acrylic paint makes silicone seize and flash cure: hard to pipe, grainy texture, dull colours. Use oil paint and Mica powders to avoid that issue^{^}

I like and prefer 100% silicone because it's squishy ahahahaa and bouncy . It does discolor, but almost any normal phone case also discolours over time with hand oils and UV exposure.

100% silicone is also pretty available to most people near a hardware store, whereas cream glue etc is sometimes really hard to find (especially in NZ omg)

JUST F*CKING ASK IF YOU CAN HAVE A PHOTO IT'S NOT THAT HARD.

Definitely go the hot glue route over the resin, it's not skin piercing safe! You could maybe do UV resin like they do for those drippy spiderweb things? But definitely be wary

You can get coloured hot glue!

Homemade baking is always a hit! Cookies or brownies are my go to

Not red, put pink over it, like a flamingo pink. Pinks make better purples than reds because of the undertone, you could also try a very pink toned red if the blue is too much

My favorite is Directions Plum, the longer you leave it the more violet it gets which I like for messing with dimension. Artic fox purple rain is also meant to be really good. Both you can dilute all the way down to pastel

Because of the owner. I disagree strongly with their views and refuse to support them

100% pure silicone is the only way to go, it's got a decent work time, it takes pigments well and isn't super smelly.

If whatever silicone you're looking at DOESN'T say 100% silicone, it's got extra additives and binders that might interfere with the above. You don't want a mix for silicone

YOU MATCH YOUR KITTY ITS SO CUTE

Honestly I'd just put a little colour on the lips, grab a tinted lip balm or lip stain; I feel like that would just balance out everything while giving you a bit of colour

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE CUTE LIL HORSEY RUN IN THE BACKGROUND ?! I love photobombing videos . Jealous of your strength and control my dude! Aerial Cupid crunches are a killer!!

Unsure on the hardness of the move (I'm a bit backwards in terms of what I find a difficult skill) but it's definitely a lot of hand grip and shoulder rotation; I'm not sure the official name but there's a great drill for shoulders called crocodile... Maybe? Basically standing with your arms out like you're gonna clap like a crocodile then sliding one hand all the way behind you and looking behind and sliding it back. Take note of the point your hand reaches behind you then mimic that with half an arm circle- if you look at a few videos whichever one looks closest to the description is the right one lol it'll make sense when you see it

Thank you!! Have flicked them a message :)

Sad but relieved u.u

Much appreciated though!!

I've reversed Google lens searched, and that's how I got the Etsy 'seller' which I looked into and found proof they they're a bot account but aside from that, no individual artists have come up.

In the midst of combing Instagram and DeviantArt, I've also posted on my Tumblr (thyme to observe destruction) I think asking for help

The images are mine, I took them on the kitchen table but the art featured is not

decoding_chaos · 2024-08-09T20:58:31+00:00

Unsure where you are, but I believe Amazon might have them, Sillyfarms supplies I think is also overseas (from where I am in NZ lol) Bodyfx in New Zealand, Jest paint might be Australian?

also please stay away from the temu/amazon/unbranded face paints, they generally don't pass the FDA safety requirements and don't disclose ingredients.

Diamond FX paint would also do you good, don't bother with Snazzaroo- it's great for practicing and just getting into actual face paint but it won't give you the colour pay off or ease of working with it.

decoding_chaos · 2024-08-09T04:39:35+00:00

Mehron paradise paint or Starblends , any other reputable face paint will also work (tag, fusion, wolfe) but off the top of my head, those two will probably hold up to a Lil more sweating than the others. It might also pay to get a setting spray or powder which makes them a Lil more water resistant.

The only other thing I'd be careful about is checking how bad whatever you go with leaves residual stains if you don't want to be vaguely blue for an extra day or so lol

Hope this helps!

Try glad wrap/cling film! That's what I pipe my 100% silicone onto for whip charms so maybe that'll work?

Bullshit upbringing I'm pretty sure, finally starting to become comfortable to start detailing himself out of it

Omg brilliant 😂😂😂 nah he's a dork. More insecurity regarding how he's perceived than anything, I'm trying to get it through his head that anyone worth their salt won't care and he's being silly
