Hi Folks! I've let this video run long so you can see all the different parts of the process for making a snow baby. It's broken up in to chapters so you can skip ahead to the part you want to see. ♥

Thank you for posting this. I have your book, which is excellent, but it helps a lot to see the techniques in real time.

@SmileMercantile 2 года назад

Thank you Karen! Yes it's always great to see hands in motion. I'll be sure to make more videos like this to demo the techniques. ❤️

Hello, I’ve just found your RU-vid channel on spun cotton baby. I’m only new to this art ans I’m fascinated. Your method is much better than others. I have subscribed and hoping to follow your videos. I live in Australia and my name is Edda. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you very much for postín this What are you adding with the soon at the end?

@primitiveseasons1 2 года назад

Is medical cotton (the long strips) the same type hairdressers use when you get a perm?

@SmileMercantile 2 года назад

That is cotton coil, and it would work just as well for this project. Here is the medical cotton roll I used: amzn.to/3NHXz1M

@iluvmusic1710 Год назад

❤❤❤ love this. Do you sell your silicone molds for baby faces? The face you use is really adorable.

@SmileMercantile Год назад

I don't sell the molds, but I may have the pressed clay faces in the future. ❤️

@TheMountainbobcat 2 года назад

6/10/22- question? can i stop mid way through making (working with the cotton) put down and return to finish the next day?????? thanks for answer.

@SmileMercantile 2 года назад

Yes! You can always add cotton, and letting layers dry periodically actually makes a sturdier figurine. You would just brush with starch to moisten it after it has dried, to add the next pieces. :)

@keelybillington1714 Год назад

Has the cornflour & water been heated and mixed together to make the binding medium, please. Also, what is the ratio?

@SmileMercantile Год назад

It is 1 tablespoon cornstarch added gradually to 1 cup of simmering water, and cooked for 2 minutes. ❤️

@ARtandSoul998 7 месяцев назад

I did that but mine still came out lumpy as it cooled it got stiffer, I added more warm water to it but it was still clumpy, any idea as to what I am doing wrong please?@@SmileMercantile

@SmileMercantile 7 месяцев назад

Make a slurry of the cornstarch first- one tbsp starch to one tbsp water, and then add it to the simmering pot just a little at a time, stirring and cooking after each little bit. It will be smooth.

@jillianrachel2020 Год назад

hi! if i wanted it to be colored, is spun cotton easy to dye?

@SmileMercantile Год назад

If you're working with cotton quilt batting it's very easy to dye with Rit. Cotton coil and medical cotton are easier to add color with paint after making the figures.

@jillianrachel2020 Год назад

@@SmileMercantile thank you! what kind of paint works best- just acrylic?

@SmileMercantile Год назад

I like to use acrylics diluted with starch, but just about any paint will work. I have a whole section on adding color in my book! :)
