THE BEGINNING!.

Here we go with step one in the art of reborning.

The beginning.

There are loads of ways to create a beautiful reborn baby doll.

One may work for you,and not the next.

Most of you will learn that it is all trial and error.
I have been making the Berenguer,ashton drake,peterkin,A Juan reborn dolls for the past few years and have learned most of what I know from information supplied by other reborn artists that were willing to share their personal experiences and knowledge and through my own trial and error experiments.

I will describe in detail what "I do", but there will be many other ways and orders to do the same thing -- you will develop your own style and processes.

I will give credit to those that I know created a reborning technique or process when I can, but please don't take offense if you believe that a technique or process was "stolen" from you.I do not know everyone's name that ever inspired me to create my own reborn doll.

The reborning process for me has been a collective effort of many doll artists sharing and helping others to create their own beautiful dolls,and i thought there would be many of you who would love to learn this art.

I strongly advise that you start with the cheaper vinyl baby dolls to practice on,just until you develop your technique,as like I said it is all trail and error,so it is not wise to start with a ashton drake or a limited edition baby doll.
First of all here is an example of before and after of a Carry me berenguer doll.Note that the beautiful reborned baby below is not by me,but another very talented artist,this is just an example of what can be achieved.
