I hope this is the right place for this. I need some help transforming a Barbie head into this:
First off, how do you get paint to stick to a Barbie head? We've tried painting them before and it just flakes off, even after sealing them. Do I seal it first or use something else? What can I seal it with?
I've already got the head bald and her paint off, and now I'm stuck. Any suggestions?
She's Jemima from the musical, CATS. I've been wanting to start on a new project (hit a dead end creatively on another), and I have a whole bunch of old Barbie heads that I'm not attached to. My first choice was Grizabella, but I have no snarky/sad looking head for her, but the Barbie's smile is just perfect for Jemima. I've got a ton of old fur I'm going to be using for her wig, and then I'll be finished for a while until I get a good body for her to make her outfit on. Thanks in advance!
