How would I save this?

I just saved all the pics and numbered them to correspond with the steps.

Thank you so much for this!!
Quick question; as genesis are oil based paints, could they be used with silicone?
Thanks,

I'm not really clear on this -- is she saying to use oil paints, paint a layer on the doll, let it cure, paint another layer, etc. and then seal with loctite silicone and then the powdered sugar?

Or is she saying to mix the oil paints with loctite and do the painting that way?

I think Wendy's post was made back when people were just learning to paint silicone. There are many great silicone paints and products on the market now. I don't know why anyone would use powdered sugar anymore. Her original post may have been very helpful at the time, and may still have value, but I think it may be a bit outdated now. Things are changing quickly in the silicone world.

I agree a lot has changed. I had to adapt it when I found this tutorial but it was a great help when I painted my first sili cause it gave me a place to start due to the lack of sili baby-painting tutorials on the internet in 2012. I never used the powdered sugar cause of a fear of bugs so I used special raw talc instead.

And didn't this thread used to be a sticky???

I have used this method to great effect, but have bought a "SILICONE PLATINUM BASED" kit and CANNOT get the paint to stick! Can anyone advise me please?

Thank you

I've been following Wendy Dickinson's tutorials for years and have had so much fun experimenting with silicone painting. I recently tried a new technique I learned from her and it turned out amazing!

Speaking of amazing deals, I just scored this awesome silicone mold set from https://www.dealsandstealstoday.com/view-your-deal/. It had everything I needed to create some unique pieces. If you're looking for a good deal on art supplies, definitely check them out!

Has anyone else tried silicone painting? What's your favorite technique?
