Anyone know which pink is the closest to a light flesh tone?
Want to try something out and if it works I'm going to need a lot of it so preferably a nice cheap one and not a special.
Butter Pecan would be my suggestion.
Hey honey I use butter pecan for my bosom buddies but it is not cheap! I guess you could try effetre pale pink but that can turn very pink and I guess you could use effetre light ivory. Butter pecan would be best I think.
I just use plain old eff light pink 260 for my dolls

I've tried other colours, but this is the one that seems to work best. I tried butter pecan, but they looked like sunbed fodder :D It depends what look you're going for too, as mine is girly dolly the pink works well, Shahlaa's are definitely more of a skin tone.
Loving the look of butter pecan, don't want to go too pinky because it's more of a gothic look I am going for.
not to bad on price really, cheaper than ginger (my planned darker tone) which I could happily use all day. I know some pinks are very silly money.
Thanks ladies.
Have you tried mixing your own colours? It's fun...and can be cheap-ish ;D

i quite like cim Chai for flesh tones, i made a goddess out of the one rod i had because i didn't know what it was and she turned out very beautiful!
Sulis I have but I can only make stringer or (unintentional) frit.
Oh Chai I think I have some of that hiding in the drawer will have to take a peek.
Project kind of on hold anyway, just did a test bead and by the time I had finished I wondered what the mangled lump of glass was.
I've used effetre light pink but finds it can burn or go a bit darker if worked a bit, i'm also trying out effetre silver pink 255 at the moment, it's a bit more expensive but It's a nice flesh tone.
My thought would have been Butter Pecan as well, very fleshy! ;D
This conversation makes me want to bake a pecan pie.... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ::)

Awww, she's really cute, she looks a bit like your daughter. ;D
It was modelled on her - she plays with her all the time, and has a whole wardrobe of 'clothes' :D It's weird looking back at old ones, as they seem to be changing and evolving over the last couple of months.
My dollies are somewhat freaky now .... :o
