HELP!
Can anyone please advise what you use to paint faces on fondant/gum paste mix models? As you can see, my gel color mixed with alcohol is just a mess. Also, what is the best medium for modeling? I am using an approximate 50/50 mixture of homemade MMF and Nicholas Lodge's gum paste. It is working pretty well, but I cannot get it nice and smooth like everyone else seems to be able to do. Thanks for any advise :o)

Thank you, sweet Denise! If you've looked at my pictures, you've seen every single thing I've ever sculpted. Fantasy dragons and bird feathers are a lot easier than trying to do a human face (only slightly larger than a quarter) that looks like the individual. Seems to me if I can paint it, I should be able to sculpt it :o) I will keep trying!!!

Wow This is great Sandra , I am always stuck with the face. For painting I use dusting powder and wet paint is not good.

Thanks, Goreti! Hope I can do it again without the messy painting. If I ever figure it out, I will let you know what works for me because I am determined to master sculpting. I like it so much.

I have trouble with this myself which is another reason I don't like to do them. You did a great job. It looks just like Ringo.

June, the paste I used for the face was pretty good, but the hair was definitely under-kneaded. Didn't realize it until I started to add the marks and it started to crack. I will check out Alan Tetreault's Mexican paste. I have been curious as to the difference in Mexican paste and other gum pastes, anyway. Thank you for your sweet words and your help!
