Lopputulos ei ihan vastaa odotuksia. Kun lisää liian vähän soodaa maalin joukkoon, ei vaikutusta lopputulokseen. Liikaa soodaa maaliin ja siitä tulee pöpperöistä. Ei mennyt ihan niin kuin Strömsössä.
I learnt in the Finnish Doll's House magazine that small plastic items could look like ceramic if you mixed baking soda with acrylic paint. This sounded interesting. I'm always ready to experiment new things so... no sooner said than done!

The end result, though, isn't quite right. Too little baking soda in the paint and it didn't work at all. Too much baking soda in the paint turned the paint into a paste, difficult to paint. It was more like using porridge as paint.
The whole experiment sounded really easy but the end result is just a lot of messy, non-ceramic-like plastic items.

Ruokasoodaa sekoitettuna pieneen määrään vettä.
Baking soda mixed with a small amount of water.
Akryylimaalia lisätty seokseen.
I added some acrylic paint in the baking soda-water-mixture.
Röpelöistä kyllä mutta ei näytä keramiikalta.
Looks sloppy, not like ceramic.

It is always interesting that what may work wonderfully for one crafter is disastrous for another. But experimenting can be part of the fun in miniatures, so keep trying and sharing new ideas!
It's always good to try and experiment with new ideas. It could be that the brand of acrylic paint you used wasn't suitable.

Drora, thank you for the tip to change the acrylic color!
