My Fake Baby (Parenting Documentary) - Real Stories

Hi Reborn friends and artists,

I wanted to share the video that got me interested in reborning.  Sit back and enjoy the show!

Holiday Happenings!

Shekeia Kaandra has been adopted.  She is currently reserved but will be leaving us for the Christmas holiday to go be with her new family!  We are going to miss her!

I am also working on a custom light ethnic baby named Lillian Marie.  I am so excited to do a new project for someone special!  I am creating her using the Lillian Sculpt from Bountiful Baby!  Updates are coming soon!

And this weekend I am having a Ugly Sweater Christmas Party so that should be lots of fun!  I hope I can clean up my baby mess in time!

Daily Share!

Just working on some fun memes!  Feel free to share with my link and make sure to send me yours!  I also put a link on my navigation bar to doll sayings.

Eyelashes for Neveah Serenity (and other things)

Neveah is a Bountiful Baby doll kit, she is going to be 19" approximately and she was made by Denise Pratt.  I have put 20mm Pabol Acrylic eyes in her and glued her eye flaps closed as you can see below.

Neveah Serenity got her glossing, eyelashes, bow magnets, pacifier magnets and more.

Magnets inside her head drying.

Excuse her mussy hair right now, it will be styled later.  I realize her hair looks like corn beef and hash right now, but it is mohair, once I spray it with some conditioner and style it, it will look gorgeous!

This magnet is actually two magnets stuck together and glued into her head.  I have magnets on top of her head to hold them in place until they dry.  Then her new mommy can stick bows with metal clips on her head.  She will also have enough hair that you can just clip magnets in or put a tiny pony tail on top.

Here I have glued her eyes shut with her pabol eyes in and then I also glued in a set of magnets for her pacifier.  The original magnets were small and not strong enough so I added a second one and they are drying.  I keep the pacifier on her lips so the magnets will stay in place while they dry.  Her pacifier has no nipple but a magnet which holds it in place on her face and a small piece of soft cloth keeps her lips from getting scratched.

I have used eyelashes for her from Bountiful Baby.  These are brown eyelashes and I glued them in ever so carefully but they were stubborn and I had to make them behave.  I did end up picking out a few balls of sticky glue with a tiny tweezers.

A day ago I mixed resin and shined her lips, nose cavity and eye lids, under her eyes and bit inside her ears.  I also painted the area in the very center inside a bit pink to mimic the tear duct of a human baby.  Early on I did milk spots around her nose and blotted them a minute after applying them to make them muted.  

Naveah Serenity will be finished very soon!  Perhaps even tomorrow I can finish her up and put her body on her.  Yay!  She is so stinking cute!  I can't wait to get her in her onesie!  I am gonna have to go dress shopping for her!  Neveah wears size newborn or 0-3 months clothing and when she is complete I will be dressing her up with a diaper, and full baby wardrobe.

Updates on Neveah, Rinesha and Kaelin, Bountiful Baby kits

Here I am, working on some dolls today.  Thought you might want to see how crazy I look while trying to paint my reborn babies.

Here is my gorgeous Rinesha Ashanti, my first ethnic reborn I am working on.  She has been getting coats of Genesis ethnic colors which I thought were too light and now she is getting a custom mix of ethnic color using a burnt umber with a touch of yellow, which I am loving!

Here is my tiny second ethnic baby, Kaelin Joy.  She is looking beautiful with her new layers of paint.  I have ordered beautiful black mohair for Rinesha and Kaelin and I am really excited to get their mottling, veining, creases and detail layers started but trying to get that base color right is my first priority!  She is getting a nice belly plate done.  Sorry if you don't like the body plate please move forward.

I have been working on Neveah Serenity, a beautiful Caucasian reborn, painted her hair and rooted an Ash Blonde mohair over it.  She still needs a tad more rooting, her eyes and magnets and so on.

I have to reborn between classes, homework and tests because I go to a university here in Virginia for Information Systems Technology with a focus in Cyber Security.

See you soon!
