Info

3-You can use a child mold, children come in all sizes so this gives you lots of choices. Here are some links on my website where you can see some molds that will work with the Flumo and Liquache. If you decide to try it, please ask me or any other mold company if the mold you are buying will be the correct scale in Liquache of Flumo. (Not all molds on these pages will work) http://www.houseofcaron.com/house_of_caron.htm http://www.houseofcaron.com/PL%20children.htm http://www.houseofcaron.com/mystic_molds.htm http://www.houseofcaron.com/fairy%20molds.htm http://www.houseofcaron.com/doll%20house%20items.htm http://www.houseofcaron.com/mary%20dolls.htm I have some printed information about Liquache, it explains what it is and how to use it. I give copies of it to customers that tell me they are going to use Liquache or Flumo in our molds. Here is the link to the company that sells Liquache: http://www.activaproducts.com I hope I have helped...Have a Great Day...Sincerely...Jackie Caron www.houseofcaron.com Proud member of MSATMiniDolls@yahoogroups.com ____________________________________________________________________________________ Hi Jackie and thank you so much for all your precisions ! We just had a talk about molds with a friend and wondering which one was best for using flumo and YOU answer it ! Great !!! Now we know ! Have a nice day Nathalie Mori proud member of the MiniDollsList my doll website: http://nathaliemori.com/ my miniatures website: http://mininounours.free.fr/ ____________________________________________________________________________________ Hi everyone . . . I have been pretty quiet lately on the list but I have kept up with the emails and have enjoyed reading and seeing all the tips , pictures etc. ..Thanks to everyone for all the ideas and eye candy! I have just been in a slump..you know how that goes! This last subject re flumo and pouring is of particular interest because I have been wanting to get a kiln. I have been gradually buying molds..do not have many but enough to make a start!
My question is . . . I need advice on a good kiln and where to buy the slip. I know that this was a topic some while back but of course I can not find the info. There are various kilns out there and as it is quite an expense I want to make sure I get the right one!! Any advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated. Best wishes Nicolette ____________________________________________________________________________________ Dear Nicolette, My best suggestion, as everyone has a favorite, is to look up on the internet for Cress Kilns, AIM kilns, Paragon kilns, etc. Click the store locator button and see if there is one nearest you or with in a days drive of you. Sounds like a lot, but trust me, a tank of gas is cheaper than some of the shipping costs, AND you get to see the product. I personally use Paragon kilns. However, many of my friends have other kilns as well and they are quite happy. See one, and figure out what all you need. Call and talk to the distributor. There could be a show deal or a county fair or something of that kind. Be aware the "furniture" (stilts, shelves, etc.) could be extra, but there might be a "deal" going on so be sure to ask. Also, be aware of the plug and electricity. Mine has a dedicated outlet, like the dryer has and may need an electrician to install it. Some can use household current, but I have to tell you I have no experience at that. One of my friends says the elements go out a lot on hers, but it might depend on a lot of things I have no knowledge of. Kiln sitters are a dream in my opinion and worth the extra money. Today, I wouldn't have one without it. That's my best advice.

Thank you for your personal emails and comments. Tracey, You asked for information on painting the Flumo and Liquache. As far as I know you can use almost anything to paint these non-fired slips. Your own makeup, acrylics (oil and water base), stain glass paints, glazes. Check out your local Hobby Stores for other non-fired stains etc. It looks like Esther uses a water base color tint to color the Flumo before she pours the mold. That's brilliant! And you can still blush and paint the doll before you assemble it. Here is the link to her tutorial.
