BEAUTIFUL New 13 Inch SILICONE Baby Doll...Unboxing Video

Reborn Portrait Doll, choosing the right sculpt

I was asked several times over the past few weeks if I'd done a reborn portrait doll.  I have, but unfortunately I only have photos of the reborn doll...I gave the photos of the actual baby back, so i have no way to prove i can do it.

I am thinking of doing a reborn portrait baby of myself.  It would be a doll I can keep, I'd always have the baby pictures.

I blew up some old photos of myself and cropped the face so i could try to find a sculpt that resemble my baby self.

It's hard to find an exact sculpt, but i think these ones are close:   One is Lilly, by Denise Pratt, and the other is Rowan, by Jessica Schenk.  It's going to be hard to choose.  I think Lilly is a closer match though.

Reborn baby, first biracial baby, Jada

I just finished making this baby girl yesterday.  I had so much fun painting her!  It was my first time trying a darker skin tone, and i love how she came out.  She is so chubby she barely fits into size 0-3 month baby clothes.  She's such a cutie! I still have to take good photos of her for an upcoming auction, and I still have to crochet something special for her, but here she is for now.

I made this cute little guy a few weeks ago and I really love the way he came out.  I crocheted the little blue and white sweater set for him (I love that blue yarn). I made sneaker-like booties and they're so cute.
Trey is still available for adoption.
He's such a cutie...he always makes me smile when I see him. He's so lifelike he takes my breath away.

New reborn babies, Nod

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted.  I had a flood in my basement, and i've been having internet problems (not related).

I've made 3 reborn baby dolls since I last wrote.  Here the first.  He's from the Nod sculpt and he's anatomically correct.  He was already adopted.

I had fun crocheting the cute little sweater set with the bunny ear hat for him.  He looked so cute in it!

My latest reborn baby girl

Reborn Lucy sculpt

I just put this little doll together today, and I'm so pleased with the way she turned out.  I worked hard on this doll over the past week, and I think this is the fastest I've ever made a doll.  I painted and baked for 8 hours a day for 3 days, then rooted for several days.  It took another day to seal the hair, lips, and nails, and after she was dry, I put her together.

I couldn't get any good photos this evening because it's dark and dreary outside.  We really needed the rain t hough, so I can't complain.

I've been busy painting dolls and dollhouse parts this week, plus rooting and sanding.  It will feel really nice to relax in my recliner while I crochet an outfit for this doll.  I always like to make special hand made outfits for them before I sell them on ebay.  I just have to choose an outfit. I have several cute dress patterns to choose from.
