I’m wondering how many of your keepers are ones you painted for yourself, ones you painted to sell but couldn’t let go, ones from swaps, and ones you purchased.
I have
2 that I painted for myself
2 I painted to sell but couldn’t let go of
5 swap babies
2 purchased for myself

She’s not a reborn kit. She’s a lee middleton child doll that I stripped, sculpted ears on, painted, made her wings with a wire frame, bolted them on. She’s 36 inches tall.

Right now I have 2 keepers painted by someone else. I have another kit that I need to strip and then will probably get it painted by someone else. There are at least 2 more that I will paint for myself😊

I have 3 BB kits that I have kept for myself, lol. Riley who I painted for myself. Miles which I cut his face, so I am keeping him. And Lane whose head I have used with a Cuddle Body. I will probably keep a few more to use for sizing to sew and crochet clothes etc.

All of mine are ones I painted. I haven’t had the courage to buy one from someone else after the disappointment I had with Ashton Drake years ago that got me started with reborning. I have one with hubby’s hair, one juliet with elf ears, a native American Scarlet, my minis and a Presley right now. I need to make more!

I have 6 that I have painted for either myself or my daughters. I have 2 swap babies, I have 6 that I purchased from other artist’s. I have 2 currently waiting to be adopted one I listed a little higher so I could keep her here longer lol. I have 4 keepers that I have not decided if I will paint to keep or pay another artist to paint them for me as keepers.
