Reborn Doll Making Workshops USA 2011

 I have just re-reborned a reborn a client had made through another artist.


After receiving a shocking surprize when she got her baby, she asked me if its possible to strip her and reborn her from scratch.


I had to remove the old paint (if a half an hour was spent painting her, its a lot) and removed the hair, which was only rooted in patches and very badly done with lots of plugs.  I also made a horrifying discovery inside the doll.....


Almost no paint at all PLUS I pulled the hair out with one yank as the wood glue used to seal the hair, did not dry!!!  It was all wet and sticky on the inside.  No wonder she was not allowed to comb the hair right away!



NO paint, bad eyebrows and bad lips...




 I found this inside the doll... looks like some or other type of crushed stone bought from a gardening centre or petshop as used in fish tanks..... Eeuwwwwwwwww!!!

A sweet little boy...

This has been a VERY exciting week for our family as we became so much richer - my niece had her first baby!!!
We've got a sweet little boy in our household now and the days of loud noises have been replaced with shhhhh's and pajama drills :o)
We already just love him to bits and he has a special place in our hearts.  He is so soooo cute and I could not resist taking a few snapshots of him while getting his first real bath :o)))))

Look at his bruises and eyelids

Mottled Baby Skin

Millia on his nose

His umbilical cord just came off today :o)

Baby Veins

Perfect Ears

Belle Relisted on Ebay

Since I received no help from the Marzanne Kruger Facebook Group to collect funds for her rehab, I have now turned to Ebay.  Hopefully this baby will sell there.

Here is the link to her Ebay UK auction

Belle's Auction

Belle on Auction at last

I have listed Belle this week, but made some minor changes to this auction.
As you know, I said I would donate this baby to Marzanne Kruger, but since I have not heard back from them to date, I will list her with 25% donated to her fund for my next 4 babies (including Belle)

Please visit her Auction by Clicking on the link below her pic

At last Belle's Pics are here

I have managed to take some pics of Belle on Saturday afternoon.
They are not great, but they will have to do for now as I know many of you have been asking when I will show her :o)))
I will be taking some more this week for her Auction.

I hope Marzanne will also love her baby that we will auction off for her
Rehab fund :o)

I will keep you all posted on her auction link

Hope you like her.....

WIllow is Gone!!!!!!

I made the most beautiful baby girl for a client....
After her birth, she was just so perfect and she has been the hardest part of me to let go of..... She reminded me so much of my little girl, who was born way too soon :o(((((((
And then the death of my brother....

Parting with all of this and then her, was just too much for me and I just could not let go.  But this morning, I had to close my eyes and set her free, so she could go and make her new mommy a very happy person....

I think in a way, this has helped me to cope with my loss.... I have to let go sometimes, of the things that are precious and dear to me.

I will never forget her and she will always be in my heart :o(((((((
