Feeple60 Moe Clothing

Ever since I got my hands on a Feeple60 moe Celine I have been playing around with designing and making clothing for her.  Here are some of the things I have made and they will be available in my shop in December.  I have been working on a upholstered chair in this size as well.  It's just been more fun to make clothing.  Eventually I'll start making 1/4 scale clothing as well (cause I have several minifees that are in need of new face-ups and clothing)

Some Little Side Projects

I want to add different thing to my shop.  So I started to experiment with things.  Some of the things that I have added or will be adding are picture frames.  The frames will be blank so that they can be filled with a mirror or picture or just left blank and hung on the wall.  
The original frames are made from Fimo.  Then I made some mould from Easy Silicon putty.  They turned out all right but there were too many air bubbles.  I got better results form using Mold Max 30 Silicon Rubber Compound from Smooth-on.  And it's pink too!  n-n
The resin I used for casting is Smooth-Cast ONYX FAST.  Boy! Is this stuff fast.  You have a couple of minutes of "pot life" before it sets up.  I found this out the hard way.  It set up while I was pouring it into the mould.  Of course it was funny.  Yes, I did eventually go and read the instructions. n_n
As you can see in the first pic the two different moulds that I made.  The one on the left is the Mold Max and the one on the right is the EasyMold Putty.
I still like using the purple one for other mould making ideas.  But for detail I like the pink one.  That's just my opinion.  You might feel differently.
The spray paint i used was Krylon Fusion paint for plastics.  It worked fairly well.  The only beef I had was the nozzle on the can.  I ended up getting more paint on my hand than what came out of the can.   I don't know why they had to change it.  
The frames should be in my shop by the end of the week, then I'll add the link. 


Here are my original Fimo frames.  


Giving the new mould a try (of course I made too much)

Giving things a bit of a sanding before spray painting them.

Spray painted white with a touch of slate gilders paste.

Sprayed white with inca gold gilders paste.

Left the original black resin and some gilders paste.
