Hello NO Name , kazablanca, Welcome to the forum, You don't have to put your full name, but it is nice to be able to refer to you as a person. All the ladies on the forum are very helpfull as you would have found out by hiding under the sheets for so long. We seem to have a very caring and considerate groupe of Ladies on here and are so willing to share with any questions you may have. As for the Tutorials, at this point, most of the info your looking for is already been discussed on the forum. All you have to do is look up a topic. (((WELCOME)))June M from Oz
I would start with one on how to use Genesis Paint. From all the online tutorials I've read none that are quite as complete. Experience and practice will carry you from there.
As far as sharing your name goes: I've been in online communities for about 13 years and it is generally best to keep your personal information private. I do not share my first name even unless I am needing to mail something to someone (then they get my name and address!) It is one thing for people who work for Secrist to do so. The reality is there are a lot of nuts out there who can do a lot of damage with personal information!
thanks for your help. have you read the tutorial book 3: collector's edition? what about Tutorial CD 2: Beautiful Babies Advanced Techniques in Reborning? kaz
I have Michelle Biesele-Barrows for painting babies of color. I've read it but not applied it, yet. If the others are like this one, I would have to say they are pretty good!
The collectors edition contains all her books in one. So no need to get 1&2 if you are getting 3 which is a collection of the other 2. Hope this helps.
As far as peoples real names on the forum, Secrist doesn't care if you use that or a "screen name" even if others here seem to want to know. That is optional information! So please, anyone giving grief/flack to anyone not using their real names in post, please don't do that. Yes, our forums are friendly and all and I know we have made bonds here, but you do also have to respect others privacy. If you would like to correspond to others with real names I suggest that you pm back and forth instead of asking someone to reveal their real name in forum. thanks so much for your cooperation! !!
Thnx for your help Pat. I liked the look of the collectors edition Tutorial book 3. Would it be worth my while getting the Michelle Biesele-Barrows? Or does it cover what is in the collectors edition? I have painted a couple of dolls using the original DVDs but would like more info so I can improve on what I can already do. There is a difference between painting a doll and making it life like as you already know. :O) I'd really like to get the hang of rooting the hair coz I seem to mess that up a little. Have a great day.
