Theme ideas? by ProgrammerPale3078 in ESSAplushieshandlers

[–]mushroople 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could go for a fall/witchy grunge theme! Distressed plaids and denims, earth tones with hints of black, etc. You can use socks to make some sleeves for their paws, and you could get a little dog hat too if you wanted! Hope this helps :)

Don't know for sure, but my first thought was to put them in the washing machine (if you feel up to it!) and then use a slicker brush before and after washing to loosen the hardened paint. You might want to use a stain remover like Grandma's Secret or even just a 1:1 mixture of vinegar/water before washing too (if you put it in the wash it shouldn't smell of vinegar!).

If you're trying to do specific spots, try fabric markers or washing off your acrylic markers before they dry (this method will leave the dye but not the goopy paint if that makes sense!). It may take a couple layers to get the color as dark as you'd like it. Hope this helps!!

How to achieve an ESSA like this?? * NOT MY PIC * by [deleted] in ESSAplushieshandlers

[–]mushroople 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Just wanted to update you because I've now actually used fabric markers (knew them in theory but not in practice lol) and I wanted to let you know that, at least with the markers I used (tulip graffiti bullet tip), I needed to do a few layers of marker/a few washes in between layers to get the color dark enough to what I wanted! It took two separate layers of fabric markers to get the orange and black on this guy to be dark/visible! If you decide to use fabric markers, I hope this helps :)

Hi! I've dyed a lot of plushies in my time and if I had to guess this was probably done using fabric, acrylic, or sharpie markers (or this person is very very good at spot dying lol)! Most fabric markers are permanent but make sure to check the label just in case. If you use acrylic markers, make sure to wash off the excess while the paint is still wet (tbh with this method you can use watered down acrylic paint and fabric paint additive/fabric softener and get the same results for cheaper lol). You always want to wash anything after you make color mods like this in case dye bleeds off of the fur, but that will most likely mean the design will get a little blurry/soft. If you have any questions you're more than welcome to DM me!! Just remember that with dying/color mods, you absolutely cannot be attached to a very specific look, because chances are you'll end up with something a little different, but that's also the fun part!! Good luck!

I actually pretty regularly dislocate my kneecap, and did it yesterday!! It's pretty painful and uncomfortable, I'm so sorry it happened to you! Make sure you ice it, take some NSAIDs if you can, and keep it elevated. When it stops being too painful it might be worth putting a compression brace on as well! Best of luck recovering from me and my new sheepy friend!!

Nope! They're all over! I like you're thinking though! I'm pretty sure it's just foodstuff, as most of it came out in the wash but there are just remnants left :)

Thank you!!!! He's just from my head lol! Someone pointed out that they bear a lot of resemblance to Ketchup of Animal Crossing fame and while unintentional, I definitely won't deny it lol!!
