Reborn; May 10, 2011

Weight; 7 lb. 5 oz.

A quick glance at Libby’s details;

☆3/4 limbs

☆Libby’s head measures 15  inches

☆Fully jointed beige flannel body from Bountiful Baby

☆Lovingly Reborned using permanent, non fading Genesis paints.

☆I gave her subtle veining, bluish undertones,  where the skin is thinner and more transparent and mottling of her skin. Libby has many layers of cured paint to give a real depth to her skin.

☆Tediously painted baby hair and then rooted with Mohair on the top of her head and sparsely on the sides and back. I like to paint first and then root over the paint for younger babies. It gives them the look of real hair without over doing. It’s a very natural look.

☆I use no sand in the weighting of my babies so they’re ready for overseas travel. I weight my babies with tiny glass beads, doll pellets and I use a quality polyfil to fill in.

☆I buy T shirt material, sew bags to fill with glass beads for weighting my babies. For this baby I used one large bag in the body and one small bag for the head. Her limbs are filled partially with glass beads and topped with Polyfil for the perfect weight. Each limb and bag is weighed as I’m putting her together so her weight is balanced and she feels as real I can possibly make her. I give as much care to the inside of my babies as I do the outside.

☆Libby wears three month sizes, and her feet are 3 inches, size 0.

☆A pretty bracelet made just for her with Swarovski beads and crystals.

☆Magnetic Pacifier [magnet covered with soft material as not to scratch the paint on her mouth]

☆I always ship the next business day after payment, with the exception of holidays.

☆All my babies are from a smoke free nursery

I try to take all my pictures in natural light, weather withstanding. I don’t enhance my pictures in any way except to occasionally lighten a dark picture, adding my Nursery name and sometimes different decorative edges to frame the pictures. Her pictures are very true to color on my monitor but might vary a bit from monitor to monitor.

Please enjoy her pictures!

Baby Nails

For her little fingers and toenails, I’ve given her very soft, ivory colored tips and sealed them with a satin finish, to look like freshly clipped newborn nails.

Her Nose and Mouth

Libby’s nose was opened and backed with dark felt for realism. Her lips were colored in several layers of color for more depth. I’ve also given her a nursing blister for more realism.

Eyelashes and Eyebrows

I’ve given Libby hand rooted brown lashes and painted her eyebrows in a shade to match her hair.

What Libby is wearing and bringing home with her

Libby is wearing a very sweet white gown with smocking by Feltman Brothers, a pair of white socks and a gorgeous pair of pink booties by kneat Heaven Boutique. She’ll bring a short sleeve undershirt to wear under her dress and a sleeper for nap time.  She’ll be wrapped in a receiving blanket for her trip home.

Libby will bring an extra diaper, her bracelet, magnetic pacifier and headband, a custom Birth Certificate, care sheet and a 4X6 digital portrait inside a purse size photo album. All will be packed inside a gift bag.

Birth Certificate

All my babies come with custom birth certificates with their first picture. The date of birth, weight and length will be filled in but the name space can be left blank so the new Mommy can give baby a different name if they like. I will also sign each certificate, as the Reborn artist.

Shipping

I ship my babies, fully insured, and new shipping materials to make sure they have a very safe trip. I try to make opening their box a pleasurable experience for the new Mommy

This baby doll has been transformed from a child’s a wonderful Adult collectible baby and is not recommended for small children because of the delicate nature of the reborning process.

I’m in my eleventh year of Reborning now and I want you to know that I take great pride and have so much passion for this incredible art. I don’t cut corners, I use the highest quality product I can find and am always looking for ways to improve my skills and the products I use in this process.Reborning has come a long way over these last years, it’s much more perfected now and many more People are becoming involved with the art. It’s been an amazing time for me and hopefully there will be many more years to come.

Thanks so much for Visiting my Nursery, and have a wonderful day!
