Dawn Brown replied to Simon Tytherleigh's discussion Using cushion foam with silicone
"Hi Simon, that is very interesting. Now will you put that piece in your puppet mould and pour your regular silicone (Platsil or whatever) around it? And the puppet silicone should stick to the glazing silicone without soaking into the upholster foam…"
Simon Tytherleigh replied to Dawn Brown's discussion Substitution for Naphtha for painting Silicone?
"Go for it! Painting silicone is a bit tricky to start but gets much easier with experience. I am really enjoying using the d-limonene instead of naphtha, as it smells nice and is much less nasty. I find the silicone takes longer to go off, but can…"

This is a Dog Trailer
"Hi Geoff,
Thanks for the love! This was a super fun, quick project. Low pressure and stress, so I enjoyed it very much! For this short, I shot on ones (24fps) which was new for me. I normally shoot on twos. It took about 8-9 days to shoot one…"
Dawn Brown replied to Geoff Clark's discussion The 12fps / 24fps conundrum
"Hi Geoff,
I understand your frustration and confusion. You can mix shooting on ones or twos within a short, I do not recommend mixing them within a shot. You will give yourself a headache! I am following your progress on Twitter and I recommend you…"
