They are brought to life by using many thin layers of genesis heat seat paints and are baked after each coat to ensure they don't fade over time. Each doll is delicately and realistically blushed and shaded in all the right places. They are also painted on the inside in certain areas to give depth and realism. Tiny veins are added and the tiny finger and toe nails are delicately painted and sealed
with a permanent varnish. After painting, each strand of quality mohair is individually hand rooted to the head and eyelash area and then sealed on the inside. High quality doe suede bodies are used and filled with tiny smooth glass granules and poly fill to give the weight of a newborn baby and also to make them cuddly. The bodies are jointed so they can be posed as you wish. As they are hand painted no two are ever exactly the same, each one is truly an original piece of art that takes many hours and much love to create. Fantastic for the collector and a great gift idea for Christmas, Birthdays and Mothers Day. Prices range from $200 up to $550 which is extremely cheap compared with most quality reborn dolls. Prices depend on the size of the mould, amount of hair required, amount of paint used, clothing cost, accessories such as dummies and headbands and quantity of weighting and stuffing required to achieve realism. These dolls are also extremely therapeutic for dementia sufferers. You will find most nursing homes have purchased these dolls for their calming effect on patients. A six week layby is welcome with a $50 non refundable deposit required. If you would like to view my current stock of reborn babies please don't hesitate to contact me on (08) 0412 715 286. NOW RUNNING REBORN DOLL COURSES
Recently I have had a lot of interest from customers wanting to learn to make their own beautiful reborn dolls. It is for this reason that I have decided to start teaching beginner classes. Courses will be run over three sessions in one weekend. Over the weekend you will completely finish your doll. You start at 5:30pm on a friday night and finish at 8:30pm. Start time on saturday is 9am and finish at 5pm. Sunday's start time is also 9am and you finish once your doll is completed. Why not make a doll for yourself, for your daughter/grandaughter/mother, as a Birthday or Christmas gift for friends or family. They certainly are a unique gift and something that the receiver can cherish forever. Nothing shows you care more than a handmade gift! In this course you will make your very own reborn doll from start to finish, learning the techniques for each step hands on. After completing the course you will have all the necessary skills you require to make your own beautiful reborn dolls in your own home. The course costs a total of $400. This will provide you with everything you need to make your first doll, including: vinyl kit, doe suede body, paints and thinners, sponges and brushes, weighting and stuffing, blotting paper, magnets and dummies, premium mohair, rooting tool holder and rooting needles, glues and of course a step by step guide and assistance from me every step of the way. Classes will have no more than three people in order for me to have the time to give each individual one on one assistance. As you can see there are a lot of materials required and therefore $400 really is good value. The cost also includes tea, coffee, water and biscuits. You are welcome to bring your own lunch if you wish. The only thing you have to supply is an outfit to take your baby home in. A non refundable deposit of $100 is required two weeks prior to the course start date in order to secure your position. The remaining $300 can be paid when you start your course. There are 16 doll kits to choose from, both boys and girls, ranging in size from 23 inches down to premmie size 16 inches. You also get to choose what hair colour you would like to use on your baby. I can email photos of these kits to you or you can come to my home to see the photos. If you think you might be interested in one of my courses, or if you require further information, please contact me on either 0412 715 286 or by email on [email protected].
