I am starting to list the babies I have been painting for fun. I thought my reborn nursery was empty but I found a couple of babies lost in my nursery I forgot about. I have an Alyssa that I listed last year! Holy, I have never had a baby listed that long. I lowered her price, maybe she will be a holiday give away. Poor baby.
I also have a circus baby who is adorable. I took his price down a little. Not sure why he didn’t sell, my guess is no one has seen him. I haven’t renewed my membership in a loooooong time so my nursery goes dark and my babies don’t show up.
My question is how goes it lately for anyone on Reborns? I checked out the stats, it looks like babies are selling, 758 babies sold in November so far, not bad. November and December are big months. If you look at the five year chart, more babies have sold this year than many years past, if I am reading it correctly (stats are not my jam).
I told myself I would not worry about sales, just paint for pleasure and I am but I also paint to hopefully make other people happy too, and I was curious. I lowered my prices a little for the holidays, I always do. I keep telling myself if I start to hyper-focus or stress out, and it isn’t fun anymore I will not do it. OOOH the ADD is a powerful thing.
I painted some vintage French circus babies, five of them. I had a box full of antique baby gowns I wanted to use. I did basic reborns, no make up, I wanted people to be able to transition from the costume to normie baby clothes if they wanted.
I am rambling, it’s a rainy Sunday morning, and I woke up thinking about babies again.
This art form is addictive.
