New here… I have mostly been lurking and finally decided to make an account. This is my first baby, made by a wonderful artist who I now realize after a lot of research greatly undersold this girl. She is so well made and throughout the whole buying process and follow up after purchase, I could tell how much love and care went into making this baby. Now I have a new friend in the artist and she doesn’t mind when I send her pictures every now and then.

Just wanted to show off my girl a little!

She’s beautiful! A lot of people don’t realize what goes into making a quality reborn. It is good that you have learned that. :slight_smile: Welcome to the forum. This hobby is addictive. There are so many here to help you. Just ask!

I wasn’t sure if I would like the combi hair type, but it’s my favorite now. No problems to keep tidy but still looks more realistic than just painted hair. I have to remind myself not to pet her head too much!

Yes, I love combi hair too :slight_smile:

Thank you! I have bought two more dolls (yep addicting hobby for sure) and one was twin B, she was poorly weighted, wrong body, and hair all matted. I knew she had those issues when I bought her though so I had planned to fix her up a bit.

I got her the correct body from BB, weighted her, added a magnet for a pacifier, and restored the mohair and gave her a bit of a hair cut. I’m going to attempt stripping her lips and redoing them because they were a bit sloppy and not a flattering color.

The other doll I made a huge mistake buying and she’s very low quality for the price. My bad for not asking more questions and asking for closer pictures, but her reviews on Etsy were good. I left an honest (but kind) review and now I learned what else to ask for. She would be great for a kid’s doll but she’s not an adult collector for sure. I’m going to reweight her as well and fix her lips up too. The more I have her the more I like her but I was very disappointed initially. I’ll like her a lot more once she’s heftier. She’s a chunky gal. Not sure if I will keep her or gift her yet. Depends how I feel after her alterations.

I ordered two kits and when they get here I’ll going to try my hand at painting them myself. I paint watercolor so I am optimistic and constantly researching. I’m very excited. They will be for myself or my friends. I’d like to finish a doll for my niece and save her for when she’s older, as she’s only just about 3.
