What is
Reborning?
Reborning is the art of turning a play
or collector doll into an incredibly realistic heirloom
one-of-a-kind baby doll. Reborners use techniques that are similar
but there are a diverse number of mediums used and techniques, each
producing varied results, depending on the artist.
You will see on
our site the terms "reborn" and "newborn". In reborning, a
play doll is disassembled, paint removed, and then created into a
new realistic-looking doll. In newborning, these are
translucent parts that are created just for this art form.
They are free of any painting, and ready to create into a
realistic-looking doll.
Dream Time
Nursery (owned by our other doll site D's Dolls of
X-tra Special Creations)
uses only heat-set Genesis paints as they are permanent. Since
Genesis paints are applied and set in layers the vinyl has the
appearance of skin with depth.
Veining, mottling, and blushing further
enhances the appearance of a healthy baby. Weighting the baby with
poly pellets, at times baby fat snuggled in poly fil allows
for a huggable, cuddly baby you will love to hold.
