Although a heating gun can resemble a hair dryer, they are definitely not the same. A heating gun gets much hotter in less time.

Yes, the hair drier only "dry's" things where the heat gun actually heats and sets the heat-set paints, along with shrinking window and shrink-wrap, etc. I believe the heat gun reaches a temp of over 300 degrees ferenheit so it can quickly cure your paints and also melt your work if you're not careful. The heat gun also has 2 temperatures (with the click of the button), one for cooler and one for hotter (the hotter one being used for curing).

OOPS! My bad... Yes, she is indeed a Secrist Teddy. I had baby Hope in there and my avatar thing wasn't working right. So I'll go change the message now. *blush*
Thanks for the compliments on her. I named her after my Granny (Theresa Anna). :) And I got her outfit at JCPenny (she's got several more lol). AND black patent leather crib shoes hehehe She was also my first attempt at rooting eyebrows! :o

Well I absolutely LOVE her!!! I've see several Teddy kits done and she is by far my favortie on so far!! How did your brows turn out? They look great in the picture.
Why thank you much hun! :) You don't want to see her brows close up (lol) but I might add some hairs before I adopt her out hehehe I think I have some closeups of her on my site?
*blush* Ya, I hope she gets adopted on Etsy. I have 2 others on there now and I'm getting ready to post Hayden next. He's so cute! I just love that face! I did him as a "peaches n cream" complexion baby so he's a little different with less detail but good coloring.
