      I use all different brands. Craft paints up to high quality artist grade acrylics. It all depends what I'm looking to get out of the paint. Some brands have better colors/consistencies/coverage.

      Just an acrylic paint clear gloss. But lots and lots of layers. I'm kind of obsessive with making them as shiny as possible.

      I'll be listing some more figurines today, then working on a few side projects!

      When I first started making the figurines, "lil dumplin" was the first thing that popped in my head to call them. I didn't really do any research beforehand, and later discovered there's a lot of things out there with that name. Especially baby things, like diaper displays and things. I decided I wanted a name that sounded totally made up, and wasn't really heavily associated with anything. Plini almost sounds like an evolution of dumplin as well, so I went with it!

      I make all of my figurines out of polymer clay. Each one is sculpted by hand. I usually just follow my imagination. Whatever I'm thinking of at the moment.....cheesecake, cats, cupcakes...gets translated into my figurines. As for tips, it's all just practice practice practice! I know that sounds lame, but it's true! I've also found http://www.glassattic.com/ to be a great resource for any of my clay questions. It's A LOT of reading, but so worth it.

      Do what? If you're asking how do I make guacamole, the answer is going to differ greatly from say...how do I tie my shoes. hehe

      Summer! But then again...ask me again when it's summer, and I'll say winter. I can never make up my mind!

      ah, if only you'd asked what the most interesting thing is I'm going to do this fall! A huge group of my friends and I are going to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, fully dressed in renaissance costumes! I made my costume and my boyfriend's. This will be our 3rd year! http://www.flickr.com/photos/magicbeanbuyer/sets/72157621865629231/

      I don't use a base color. I just go at it with the colors I want to use for whatever I'm painting.
