    Wow, great job. I ordered a My Scene doll and when I received her, I noticed that her hair was super soft, better than I'd ever seen before. I wrote to the Etsy shop owner and was told that she used Downey softener and let it set in overnight. Your work with the box was wonderful. I didn't think there was a way to restore them.

      @DoeDeerWonderland  Рік тому +2

      Thank you so much! It does take a looot of practice, the trick is to use very short strokes, working your way up from the tail.
      (Also diluting your color a lot so it's barely visible helps tremendously in getting started in terms of settling on a general shape when you have no guidelines)
      Thank you for your continued support btw, really appreciate it ❤️
