I Am So Incredibly PrOuD of My Cousin (and happy for her husband I could burst)

Hello again!
My cousin's husband has been really sick for a long time and recently received the life saving operation he needed.

Here are some articles which were reported on New York TV and in an article about the incredible donation my cousin and another couple made on her husband's behalf and on a brother's behalf.

What a wonderful way to celebrate.... life.

Hello again!
Here's a dress I just finished. It is basically something I had to redesign because I couldn't find my other patterns. There are things I'd do differently when it's one for sale.

I also figured out how to install a pacifier with magnets. Pretty fun! There are other cool things magnets can do, regarding these reborn dolls!

When I have more dresses finished, I'll post them. In the meantime, thank you for stopping by. Please come again.

Final Grades Were Posted

Hi everyone!
I passed this semester! I can't believe it but I got an A and an A-!I will be taking psychology next semester (jan 23) and hopefully this class will be a bit easier. I have an declared minor in psychology, just never took Intro to Psychology. Hopefully it hasn't changed that much, after all these years.

What a great early Christmas present.

Another Bun, Fresh Out of the Oven!

Hello again!
This is Rose. She is my second reborn doll. This one is a Berenguer, #18. The original skin color was terrible. I applied many MaNy layers of flesh paint before even starting the veins.

It's a hard-body doll and was a lot of work, reborning the whole doll. The vinyl is not the soft vinyl like the dolls of today, making it hard to root hair. Have more mohair on order and will try using a heat gun to soften the vinyl, first.





These dolls are very popular for artist to create. The reborn dolls are also very popular among buyers (search of Ebay and you'll see how much these dolls are loved). Buying an unfinished doll to complete, isn't cheap. The finished reborn dolls can also be very expensive.

I managed to acquire these two dolls, for a really great price. One was a true reborn (previously painted, stripped and repainted) and the other doll was created for the sole intention of an artist to buy and paint. Who knows if I'll be one of those that sells the reborn, they are fun to paint....

My First Reborn Doll!

Hello again!
I originally purchased this doll to use as a model for my clay sculpting. After purchasing the doll, I did a little research on reborning dolls and boy was that stupid. It didn't take long before I was hooked.
