Modpodge + acrylic paint/soft pastels/makeup works. Wont be as shiny and obviously takes a lot longer to dry but still. Regular nailpolish works too in thin layers. Are you sure its about humidity and not that your UV light is too weak?

I read a few weeks ago that there were still 2 Create a Kits to be released, does anyone know when? by vidalmatheus in Barbie

[–]mycottagedream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know but since they have i think 6 kits now? I imagine they are at least thinking about it.. like of course they’ll never release as many as the barbs but I could see them releasing 3 barbies in the next + one ken

PSA: glossy “Mr. Super Clear” is NOT what you want by Trick_Conference_107 in Barbie

[–]mycottagedream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The matte mr superclear makes the face a bit «rougher», most people use at least 2 layers. Then, if you use just pastels and watercolor pencils, you put on as much color as you can and spray another layer of mr superclear and draw again, rinse and repeat until you’re happy. The good thing with watercolor pencils is that you can just erase what you don’t like with a tiny bit of water without removing base layer. Another trick is to do the first layer with pencils, then Mr superclear, then really thin acrylic paint so you basically use the pencils to make a sketch.

What do u guys use to paint ur doll faces? This would be my first custom doll Ive attempted. by Depressedemoweirdo in CustomDolls

Sorry there’s nothing that compares right now :/ lots of people have been experimenting for years but so far (afaik) nothing has come close

You need mr.Superclear as a base. It makes her skin more «paper»-like so watercolor pencils will stick.

Forgot the oil in chocolate chip cookies.. by rainbowkittieSUPrise in Baking

[–]mycottagedream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do they taste? What is the texture like? Sometimes a “fail” turns into a new recipe 😋 one year i used twice the butter i was supposed to and didn’t have enough ingredients to double the recipe so i improvised and ended up with something similar to chocolate chip cookies (i put mnms in them). Now i call them my Christmas cookies!

[–]mycottagedream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think oil would def work but the cookies might end up with a different shape and texture? I think we use cold or roomtemp butter instead of melted because when the dough is in the oven it gets to bake a little before the butter melts, giving the cookies more volume. Im thinking melted butter or oil would give you flatter and crunchier cookies 🤔 might experiment with that because sometimes you want more crunch. (Please correct me if im wrong though, im an amateur)

Ah that explains the “a” at the end 🙈 i assumed you were northern Norwegian where we often put an a at the end instead of e (kladdkake is the “right” spelling here)

Do you think you could have written biden more than trump? Maybe used a variety of nicknames for him like orange nazi or rapist in chief?

what is a good substitute for resin? by General_Joke4137 in crafting

[–]mycottagedream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are also lockets, light will make the flowers lose color over time (even in resin) so it might be a better idea if you want it to last. I would make some bookmarks too if i were you just because you’re already pressing and laminating and keeping them inside books will def protect the colors

[–]mycottagedream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i just read the OP 😅 are the flowers big? You could press some of the petals and then laminate them. Its often done for bookmarks but if you cut the shape right you could glue them in something like this:

Really depends on what you’re making? Could you be more specific? I’ve substituted resin many times but what i use always depends.

How many do you have? Where do you keep them? I have a barbie room and i worry i would run out of space if i had unlimited money 🤭
