In a small village tucked away in the woods, there lived a mysterious woman. The village folk knew her as the witch, but no one knew her true name. She seemed to possess magical powers that surpassed anyone's understanding. The witch, with her long flowing robes and silver hair, seldom made an appearance in the village. Many believed she was a recluse, hiding from the prying eyes of the curious villagers. The only time people caught a glimpse of her was when she ventured out at night, lurking in the shadows.

Magic Sculpt Doll or Puppet Flesh Color Experiment
As you might or might not know, Magic Sculpt color "Flesh" is, unfortunately, not really doll-friendly "flesh". It is more like "Painfully Scalded Skin Flesh" or "Freshly Butchered Meat Flesh".
Recently, Magic Sculpt brought new color "Tan". Good try, but still not quite there.
So, here is my attempt to make "Doll Flesh" color.
Recipe:
1 part White, 1 part Flesh, 1 part Tan produces this decent-looking "Flesh" (in my hand on the photo below). Also, possible to play a little more with proportions to get just the right shade.

I m not looking foward to donning a lot of PPE to work with it but that s the safe way to go since apparently one can develop a permanent sensitivity to epoxy resins out of nowhere. I ve never tried any other epoxy clay before so I only have polymer clay to compare to, but I used to use Magic Sculpt for cosplay accessories that needed to be really strong.

The only time people caught a glimpse of her was when she ventured out at night, lurking in the shadows. Rumors spread like wildfire, as everyone whispered about the witch's dark practices. Some believed she was in league with dark forces, while others feared she cast evil spells on unsuspecting villagers.

Which epoxy sculpt to use?

I've seen folks recommend both Milliput and Apoxie Sculpt but I'm unsure which one is right for me. I'm leaning towards Milliput because it seems more affordable for the amount I'll need and from what I can tell has a longer shelf life (which is great for someone who jumps from project to project.) However, I usually see Apoxie touted as the gold standard in doll circles; though admittedly I see it more in the bjd circles than the fashion doll circles.

My incredibly old, will never see the light of day, doll customs used paperclay and air dry doll clay so I'm a bit out of my league lol. ^^;

I used to use Magic Sculpt and I still have a bunch of it but I let it sit so long it's all separated, so I've ordered some Apoxie Clay to use (different from Apoxie Sculpt, some people say it's closer to Magic Sculpt or polymer clay? Which is what I want.) It'll be interesting to see how I like it.

I use Apoxie Sculpt mainly because I find it easier to use but I am a creature of habit and haven’t tried many other options.

- Good adhesion to almost all clean surfaces, including glass.
- Excellent malleability.
- Good sculpting media: as easy to work with as oil clay.
- Surface may be smoothed out with water.
- Water and soap clean up.
- Completely inert when cured.
- Accepts all types of paint.
- Surface may be sanded or ground when cured.
- No measurable shrinkage.
- Good for repairing anchoring bases and armature rods.
- Indefinite shelf life.
- Very forgiving on mixing ratio. Ratio may be varied to slow or speed up time.
- Repairs low pressure leaking pipes of plastic, cast iron, stainless steel, and copper.

No one knew for sure, but the fear and curiosity about her only grew stronger with each passing day. The children in the village were particularly fascinated by the witch. They would gather on moonlit nights, spinning tales about her powers. Some claimed she could turn anyone into a toad, while others said she could control the weather with a flick of her finger. The children were captivated by the mystery surrounding the witch, and their imaginations ran wild. But amidst all the stories and fear, there was one young girl who felt a different kind of connection to the witch. Her name was Lily, and she often found herself drawn to the woods where the witch lived. She had a sense of empathy towards the witch, sensing an untold story hidden beneath her mysterious exterior. One day, fueled by curiosity and empathy, Lily mustered the courage to approach the witch's cottage. The cottage was dark and eerie, with creeping ivy covering its walls. As Lily knocked on the creaky door, she felt a mix of excitement and trepidation. To her surprise, the witch opened the door and greeted her with a warm smile. Her eyes sparkled with kindness, and Lily knew there was more to the witch than met the eye. They spent hours talking, and the witch shared her real name - Morgana. Morgana had been a healer, using her knowledge of herbs and potions to help those in need. But as the world changed, fear started to consume the villagers, who accused her of being a witch. The fear grew so strong that Morgana was forced to live in secrecy, hiding her true identity and her ability to heal. Lily realized that the witch, whose name was once a secret, was just a misunderstood woman who had faced unjust judgment. She knew it was her mission to bridge the gap between the villagers and Morgana. With time, she would help the village see the good in Morgana, and the witch's name would no longer be a secret - it would be a symbol of healing and understanding. In a world full of fear and prejudice, it is important to remember that there is always a story behind each person, even those who are often misunderstood. The witch, with her secret name, is just one example of how compassion and empathy can break down barriers and bring people together. Let us take the time to uncover the stories hidden beneath the surface, and celebrate the diversity that makes each individual unique..
