MadebyAnnaHello.
This is off topic but my curiosity is killing me. I was mosing around ebay and fell upon the reborn dolls. Breathtaking! They are amazing pieces of art. I even had to buy one !
Okay , my question..has anyone reborn a doll ? I am so tempted..I love my little bears but I can't get these dolls out of my mind. Any input would be appreciated.
again, Please excuse my being off topic. I'm hoping to find an artist that does both or has tried the dolls :pray:
Thanks
DoodlebearsHi Anna, funny you should ask! Yes I have done one doll and loved it but my love of making my bears and primates won the draw so I will not be doing another doll any time soon. I have just (today) listed a full tutorial on Ebay on how to 'Reborn' dolls. Here's the item number, just paste it into the search box...it is listed on ebay.co.uk.
Hugs Jane. 
Swan Valley BearsLouise of Bears by Beesley does reborns. Check this out: http://www.bearsbybeesley.com/Little-pe … -page.html
Hope you don't mind, Louise but your baby is amazing. Had to share.
MadebyAnnaahhh..I'm not alone... :dance: Thank you for sharing her website..what a beautiful doll. Ah, maybe I will try my hand at one...can't hurt.
I can understand you being totally amazed by these reborn babies. Some of them are amazing. I found an artist who does the most beautiful babies, and I gave her the details of my daughter at birth, weight, height, hair colour etc. and she made me a baby, very similar to my own daughter, and her exact weight. Whenever I forget the baby days (it was 11 years ago!!) I can pick up my baby and it is the exact replica and weight of my daughter when she was born. My daughter holds "her as a baby" and cannot believe she was so little!!
The artists will fill them will pellets to an exact weight if you ask them. My husband thinks I am nuts!!!!!
MadebyAnnaHi Jane..I don't see the item number for your listing. I bought one e-book but would like to check out your listing.
Christine..That is a wonderful idea.
I bought a doll whose little bent down lip made my heart melt. My husband has green eyes and I have brown..all 4 of my children have brown.. The doll has green...I just wanted one child to have his eyes. 
I don't think men understand..I don't want any more children but there are days that I ache to hold a little baby... maybe a little doll will help until I get some grandchildren 
Oh, I know what you mean. My Mum visits and holds the little baby reborn doll, which is the replica of my daughter, and my Mum can't put her down. My Mum had six children of her own. When I saw how much she loved my "baby", I brought her one of her own - she cried and cried and was just so thrilled. The little baby reborn I brought her looked exactly like my eldest sister when she was born - lots of dark hair and peaches and cream complexion. The similarity is quite amazing. They actually make a lovely gift for "Nanna's".
AlmostBearsgday...i too went reborn crazy there for a while, but sadly cant afford to develope that particular hobby atm...ive allready got the bears and now sculpting...ive been working on my first reborn on and off for a few months and im just waiting for an order of 45 felting needles to arrive to root her hair(as i broke the only 2 i had within the first 5 minutes 
) im thinking 45 ought to do it.. 
i just love holding her tho and i have even on occasion found myself baby talking while doing so 
MadebyAnnaI hear you ..I have been looking at the cost..and start up costs are high..paints, tools, doll, hair, eyes, clothes. I was making primitive cloth dolls for a short time . But I lost to the struggle with the sewing machine
