Reborning Process
The start of the reborning process
The first thing I do is give the doll sculpt a wash then I leave to soak in baby bath suds. When the sculpt has been taken out and dried I open the the nose to give that appearance of breathing!
I use Genesis heat set paints which will not fad or rub off. I add many thin layers of paint to achieve a transluctant baby skin tone also slight veining, I also add a light texture to the baby's skin which adds realism. Baby's little fingers and toe nails are sealed with a satin varnish for realism.
For the baby's hair I use RubyRed Nuborn Mohair which is beautiful and soft just like real baby hair! I micro root 1 to 2 hairs at a time using a 42 star needle which takes many long hours to root then sealed inside with waterproof glue so your baby's hair can be gently washed and styled.
For weighing the baby I use Tendertouch "baby Fat" in the tummy surrounded by fibre-fill and also a tiny pouch of glass beads, Ultra glass beads in the limbs, a small pouch of rust free pellets or glass beads surrounded by fibre-fill in the head which gives that perfect weight to the baby's head! Weighing is a very inportant part of the reborning process in order to make the baby realistically snuggle into your arms just like a real baby would.
I DO NOT USE SAND IN ANY OF MY BABIES
