I was really hoping to go to ROSE this year but had to cancel my table…I was needed at home.

The main reason I wanted to go was to see a real reborn doll for the first time. I have never seen another one other than my own in person. I look at babies online all the time but it isn’t the same. Photos and video’s can do funny things to a baby.

So…since many of you have been to ROSE or other dolls shows and have seen and/or collected a lot of babies I want to know who your very favorite artist(s) is.

I have a few favorites for different reasons but I have never seen the work up close, visualized the true colors and textures…

Who do you love and why?

My favorite babies are some of the first I bought back in 2012-13. Unfortunately I don’t think most of them paint anymore.

My favorites are Bianca Franke (Hand Art Babies), Beatrix Schroder, and Georgia Middlebrooks (Georgia’s Sweet Creations). I would love a baby from Bianca Franke, but she only does prototype work and it is outrageous, rightly so. Beatrix’s skin is magically translucent; the kind if skin I dream of painting. I was super lucky to get one of Georgia’s Saskia right before she became a prototype artist. I also admire @PaperCityDolls.

I also love your babies @Gabriell. If I had something worthy, I would totally do a trade with you. I am still trying to work out getting my hands on Doe :wink:

This is hard. lol. Aside from the vendors that I saw from this forum at the IDTS, I would have to choose
Carolina Cuties Reborns. In person they were magnificent. I went to her table a few times and made my hubby sweat because I wanted several lol. I’m actually going to save and buy one from her. I LOVED them and she knew it lol.

There are so many favorites, but one of them is Staci Carey. I love the way she paints. Of course all the proto artists are wonderful.

I was hoping barb Michael from sweet baboo would be there. I bought Landon from her last year and just love her painting /rooting style. I’m half going Looking for a Liam and half waiting to be surprised by a random doll that just grabs me.

@Gabriell I have an idea!!! I have a Will Scholl painted by @cajuncuties and painted hair done by @specialmoments. He is quite perfect. Would you like me to send him to you to hang out for a bit and take a Looksey? If that sounds good just let me know! :kiss:

You are the sweetest most generous person ever. I love @cajuncuties cuties painting and Cierra just blows me away, and she is damn humble about it!

It is expensive to ship a baby!

I am going to ROSE next year woman and you are too! It will be totally fun!
