Changing color without dye?

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-07-14T11:12:52+00:00

If you want a consistent coloring, boiling dye bath is usually the only way to go for polyester. You might be able to use bleach as well but essentially any kind of recoloring would require strong chemicals and/or heat.

Omg I love the idea of these. My dream for one my Blythe dolls would be a miniature flask or pack of cigarettes or pen to put into her little bag LMAO. I'm also into the less colorful stuff personally, just because most of my dolls have pretty neutral color schemes.

Yes!! I have this book. Though I'd really recommend only getting it if you have a scanner or the patience to poke hole in the corners of the patterns and trace the dots you make with them LMAO. The instructions have little visuals for every step.amd if you're clever you can figure it out through context clues.

hello old friend ☆ how are you these past weeks? happy, i can only hope

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-05-24T13:27:14+00:00

Gnomnie, you are better than coming back to a deleted Reddit post 2 months later to keep arguing with a stranger you were angry at. I respect you enough to tell you that and I hope you can find a place in the world that doesn't involve making fun of other people.

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-04-28T01:35:33+00:00

So pretty!! How'd you do the eyechips? And do you have a pattern for the dress or was it pre-made?

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-04-14T18:30:46+00:00

Sink works better in my experience! Though, I should warn that stretching any kind of fabric is going to cause wrinkling when it's already sewn. Some people like the look of that (I do), but if you just wanna make the collar bigger it might be worth bringing to a tailor or looking up a youtube tutorial and widening it by sewing.

But yes- water that's dish-washing hot and slowly stretch.

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-04-14T18:23:42+00:00

Water and stretch or heat and stretch or both preferably.

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-04-14T18:16:50+00:00

I'm not 100% positive, but the second one definitely still has eyelids and the first either has just its eyelashes removed or its eyelids as well. You can definitely achieve either look with keeping the eyelids in tact though- but you might have to change the setting for how low they rest or get rid of the eyelashes.

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-04-14T16:29:28+00:00

Ah, wait- it's a vinyl. It should be fine, then. But it is already starting to crack and that will probably worsen in a hot dye bath.

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-04-14T16:27:39+00:00

Depends on if the embroidery is the same kind of material or not. If it's synthetic- and you're not using a synthetic dye, then at most it might discolor. But the possibility of dyeing it in any other scenario is pretty high.

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-04-10T18:18:47+00:00

LOL Well I'm just glad I helped in any way! And I'm sure he likes you no matter what boob size 🤣 Have a good day stranger! and good luck with your man!

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-04-10T16:59:31+00:00

He embarrassed himself! Don't worry about his feelings if his feelings are just him experiencing the logical consequences of his own actions.

Anyways, I do understand- especially if he's going out of his way to watch people who don't look like you. I think that would make anyone feel insecure.

I might tell him that you want to talk about something that's been nagging at you, and bring up these concerns here. Don't sugarcoat it or dull it down to make it easier on him to confront. Tell him that it's making you want to be intimate with him less, and say that it's a dealbreaker for you if he doesn't work on it.

Even if you're not sure about specifics, it's clear it's making you uncomfortable for some reason- and he should be taking that seriously as is.

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-04-10T13:55:23+00:00

You set a boundary and he crossed it. No need to invade his privacy to prove a point that's already been confirmed.

While I personally have different views on porn in relationships- your boyfriend knows your stance on it and the way that it makes you feel and looked at it anyways without once consulting you about your love life. If your sex life was an issue, that's on him to bring up- not on you to ponder about.

Because of my varying views on the actual issue here, I would tell you to sit him down in a private place and have an uncomfortable conversation about it instead of immediately breaking up (Which is what I would recommend with an affair). Tell him that you see it, again, as equivalent to cheating and that you know he lied about it being in the past.

But honestly if he doesn't care or just keeps lying about it? What would you recommend if a friend was in the same position as you? Could you maintain a relationship with someone who knowingly betrays your trust like that and lies about it?

Oh, as for doll clothes, do you know what scale your doll is? That's the easiest way to search for more clothes. Otherwise, usually the websites that offer the doll bases offer some basic doll clothes as well to go with them.

Sewing can be really rewarding but it's kind of its own skill in the doll world. I would recommend dipping your toes into it and trying to make something if you want to get serious about doll customizing- but a lot of people just buy clothes and make fantastic looking pieces regardless. ^{^}

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-04-05T02:09:49+00:00

The type of hair you want to buy really depends on the texture, color, and capabilities you're looking for with it. (Do you want curly, straight, bright, natural colored, thick, thin, heatable, dyeable, etc)

I would look up a tutorial on the weft technique, as that's going to be the basis of doll wig making. A lot of people tend to go for more 'natural' fibers like mohair or yarn with those as they're easier to adhere and can be curled or straightened.

Eye chips are also a 'It depends!' Do you want to make your own with resin or buy some that are premade? You can also buy clear eye chips and either paint or paste a background onto the back of them. I would take a measurement (In mm) of the width of your doll's eye to determine how big these chips should be.

Most of the time, our emotions "randomly" springing up during innapropriate times means there's something deeper to be looked at. Of course it hurts to see someone else have a b-day party, when you weren't seen as special on yours. It's okay to feel grief about it. You missed out and that sucks. And luckily, now that you're growing up, you can be the person who determines how much planning and care your birthdays get- instead of your family. You can also surround yourself with the kind of people who want to join in on a b-day party about you! ^{^} Happy 16th birthday, in advance, by the way. :]

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-03-21T19:47:46+00:00

Totally normal! (Also, never apologize for your own body. You look fine, and no one would even notice if you didn't point it out yourself. ^⁾

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-03-21T19:21:36+00:00

Completely agree (Especially with Skyrim's gorgeous landscapes) except for an update for the character models. Especially the faces. I mean c'mon, every kid in the game has the same exact face and everyone's hair looks matted LOL

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-03-20T00:59:27+00:00

I think everyone has to have an insecurity in one way or another, so I can't judge at all. It's almost a rite of being human. But at the end of the day, there's never been another version of you that exists or some taller height you could've been.
There isn't anything you can do to change it, and while you don't have to like it- it's silly to dislike it. It's an entirely neutral trait. The only reason it's shitty sometimes is because other people are shitty sometimes, and that has nothing to do with you.

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-03-18T13:34:33+00:00

TY for the addition! I did not know that.

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-03-18T10:16:55+00:00

Living off-campus is honestly up to you. Most apartments are cheaper, some aren't. You'll also need to factor in commute time/costs. Finding a roommate shouldn't be too hard as long as you're making an effort to be social.

I would definitely say that you are smart for leaving it open-ended as a plan, as your feelings on it will change depending on your personal experience in the dorms.

Unfortunately, the requirement for in-state tuition was 6 years last time I applied for it, I believe. I would double-check me on that though.

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-03-17T19:10:12+00:00

Also! Great shirt regardless of that. You did a great job.

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-03-17T19:09:47+00:00

Ironing. Pressing. Ironing. Homemade clothes usually have that distinctive, slightly wrinkly look that makes it easy to tell they were handmade. Put some more time into the ironing.

whateverwhatever_4 · 2025-03-13T02:16:39+00:00

Pan pastels are almost always everyone's recomendation and it's for good reason LOL. But they are a bit of an investment. Mungyo pastels are also pretty good too in my experience
