-princeoverit. One vendor name kept coming up as being great at helping customers walk through the process, Booty Call Dolls. So I decided I would work with them on this first purchase, and did.

Thanks Jeff. Hope Anna gets a warm welcomeBooty Call Dolls wrote:Too see more of Anna Patricia Fedospés check outI used Staedtler Lumocolour permanent marker as recommended by VonRubber.

Haha, I did actually do that, but it didn't work lol.VonRubber wrote:Hello,
I think some orange color applied over the brown could also add variety to the freckles.

I'm fairly new to this- have only had my first doll about two months now.
I read somewhere here that if you take a heating pad apart and expose the wires, the wires can be inserted and used as a hole warmer. I tried it and it works great! Yesterday as an experiment, I left the wires inside and around the doll longer than I had before- hoping for a more "complete" warming job. I even threw a blanket over the doll and kind of wrapped her up with the heating pad. I unwrapped everything about 90 minutes later and to my horror saw that I had burned/ melted "grill marks" into the doll! (kinda look like stretch marks) Disaster!
Isn't that why they invented USB warmers? Not only that, TPE really doesn't like heat; when I did the photo shoots for Camea and Tuesday, I had to pay attention to the sun. Even in the short time (10 minutes max) they were in the sunlight, I could tell they were heating up even though I was wiping them down with a wet cloth. When I went to pick them up, I could feel the difference in the TPE. I found the best way to warm them up is good ol' body heat.Booty Call Dolls wrote:http://www.dollforum.com/forum/viewtopi ... =7&t=83758

The main problem with blowing air into the cavity is having a way for the air to escape. Either the legs need to be spread or a second hose is needed in order to allow moisture-laden air to escape. I suppose tampons could be used to absorb the water as well.IWI wrote:I have an idea for cavity drying after washing. (my first doll is just ordered, so I may need concept corrections)
I own a ski boot and glove dryer. It is effectively a plastic box with a 4" fan in it. Air comes in underneath as it is slightly raised off the floor at its corners. It has four 24" flex tubes coming out the top that are designed to flex down into tall ski boots, or into gloves.
My brand has no heater, as heat can be damaging to boots and gloves materials...just lots of fresh air blowing through the 1 inch diameter flex tubes. I can leave it in my soaking wet boots and they are air dried in 3-4 hours. Its a lot of air being pushed by the 4" fan.
Mine isnt made any more, but there are others. Many with plastic towers coming out of the fan box, to put ski boots on upside down....I think that variety would also work if one improvised a reduced diameter hose to carry the air into TBE cavities.

For me, I already have four hoses. I can reduce ends of each down via some rubber tubing and insert 4 small hoses into cavities simultaneously. I could also slip in an exit air hose into cavity of same small diameter
(say, 1/2" clear tubing) so air can easily escape. (Do some clear rubber materials have negative effects upon contact with TPE, I wonder? Thanks)
Feedback would idea be appreciated. Thanks.
