Lips Tips
I was doing a heart focal yesterday and did a "heart on heart" which was fairly simple. A little heart on a big heart -
However, I would like to do a pair of "va-va-voom" lips on a heart and really was having a hard time.
Since this would be a pair of lips on a flat surface it is more challenging.
Any tips?
here's one of my flying hearts that I'd like to do w/o dots but with a pair of red lips:

I add lips to my Alien bead series by simply drawing an Oval on to the bead and then using a rake I drag the shape either side to make him smile and pull it down a little at the top to make the er....whats it called, the lip part....'Cupids Bow?' yes I think that's right.
Do the raking before adding too much heat.If it looks wonky use a razor tool to straighten it up a little.
I hope that made some kinda sense.

Carolyn -
I put fat, pouty lips on some of my fish. Here is how I do it:
Place a good size dot where I want the mouth. Bigger the dot, the bigger the mouth.
Don't melt in, but melt to a nice round shape. While still hot, take your razor tool and cut the dot in half by pressing straight downward into the dot. You can wiggle the razor tool a little to separate the lips, too.
You can now see the two lips
I take my rake or pick and heat up either end of the lips and stretch them out a bit. This is where you can decide to make them smile or frown by choosing which direction you stretch the lips.
You can also heat the top lip and give it a little more shape by pulling down slightly at the center point.(look at your lips in the mirror)
I hope that makes sense.

When I have made fish I used to put two dots next to each other for the cupid bow part and then another dot for the bottom lip then melt a little and either poke the middle for an 'Oh' look or use a knife edge tool to cut in the middle as mentioned on the other fish mouth idea. Cheers, zuzu

Great -thanks! I tried the several dots method and could not get it to work for me - perhaps I iverheated it and it got rather mushy - I'll def. try the "fat dot" - that's the look I'm going for!
