I took the pot off the stove, then decided to go for broke and toss the parts into the warm water. I used a tiny amount of black dye going for grey but they still came out really dark in a short amount of time (except for the lower legs and joint pin parts). If I did this again I\u2019d definitely not use a color I wanted a weak tint of &#8211; it dyes too well! I think the color would be very even if I could\u2019ve left the parts to sit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the end I did paint over most of the body and all of the head for consistency, but the dyed color is extremely close so I\u2019m not so worried about chipping. The color is darker than I really wanted (it looks lighter in the photo, there isn\u2019t as much contrast in the stripe in real life) but it still looks pretty good I think.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They still need hair, ears and antennae, but it turns out I don\u2019t have any golden-blonde hair, somehow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>PS: Painting yellow scleras on black is awful.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another (slightly older) WIP dolly, hodgepodge OC Myr!
