chenoa_2b: I want to make some little clay poker chips. lol
Fearless Leader: I got a lot of printables for Kai3's traveling kit
chenoa_2b: I think part of what holds me back, is thinking everything
has to be working. And be perfect. So I never go ahead, never fail,
but never even get a chance to succeed!

swaps made them for me last year since I was down with the bad wrist
Fearless Leader: and I took them on the road with me when I went on
Tour

with minis, clay is just a part of the deal

that I used to pack them in as gifts

get my hands to work doing the gluing.
Fearless Leader: I cover everything with tape
Fearless Leader: and glue candy foil on the back
chenoa_2b: ok, I was thinking of trying bits of straw in some of the
little ones, like a tube of tooth paste. To give it some thing to back
against.
chenoa_2b: Drinking straws that is.
Fearless Leader: So who wants to see the doll naked?

in that
Fearless Leader: can't change their outfits
chenoa_2b: How do you keep the edges from fraying?
Fearless Leader: lots of handtacking, the inside of his shirt is as
clean as the outside

chenoa_2b: I am so afraid of getting to much bulk!

times and iron it ahead of sewing it

Fearless Leader: they are popular to do as minis
Fearless Leader: hanging on hangers
Fearless Leader: well I'm beat
chenoa_2b: but if I sew it, it will work far better than gluing it
right?

Fearless Leader: Sew where you can
