Let’s talk about Pacifiers and Nipples in Bottles. Many have wondered if it’s ok to use a Latex Nippled Pacifier for their Platinum Silicone Doll or must they only use a silicone one. It’s a GREAT question and can be of a bit of a debate. So I’ll give you ‘my’ researched opinion on the […]

So I am certain many of you have noticed that The Dainty Loft makes the flanges on their silicone kits quite thick. Thicker than a vinyl flange. The reason we do so is because silicone is heavy and it can squish and slip out of the cloth body. And even though we put rings on […]

Let’s talk about Soft Blends in Silicone. As a collector and painter for many years, the shore of silicone is very important to me.

The realism, the magnificent weight and feel in […]

Let’s talk about rings for Silicone Kits… From a very early start as a doll maker, I have added plastic rings to my Silicone Heads. Silicone has a hard time moving against other materials like cloth or even other silicone. There is always a bit of grip when rotating it. It is the reason we […]

Let’s talk about proper preparation for your silicone kit BEFORE painting it….. A must must must is to properly prep your kit BEFORE painting it!! When a kit is pulled from its mold, it has release residue on it. Most times the pourer will wash it down immediately to get the release agent off of […]
