Google just recommended this article on reborn dolls in my news feed, thought it was interesting, plus has pics of reborns website at the top
Thanks for sharing- its a nice feature. An article that isn’t sensationalism or clickbait type of poking fun/extremism. I think it was informative and positive about the art & collecting/hobby.
Pixie mommy’s channel recently had a video about why people enjoy reborns (whether you like her content or not, she does have a large number of people who view her channel-) and i thought she did well too
$20,000!!! Has anyone really sold a Reborn for $20k
Ikr? All I could figure they were talking about was a really rare silicone
Prototype silicon, like LouLou maybe?
While the whole article has positive vibe, some places where funny to me, like cost inflated by baby sent or laundry detergent - those are the cheapest additions that you can imaging and I avoid those at any cost. And not all reborns are rooted with human hair. I don’t remember already what else, but at least it provided some education to the readers who never heard of reborns
Yes, I believe it was an overall positive article, just not exactly well informed on the details
My friends who know I make reborns would think I’m rich with this article , but other then that it was ok
It was a Romie Strydom doll that sold on ebay for 22,600usd
Oh wow
Was that one silicone? The only vinyls I can think of that topped $10,000 were those by Tinkerbell Nursery way back when I started in 2010. @kareninflorida Do you remember?
I think there was a silicone reborn that sold on Ebay for $22,000 several years ago. Artist Selena Saxton, or Romie Strydom maybe.
UPDATE:
Google shows this from 2010
If I remember correctly, that first month she sold her silicones on eBay, she brought in $110,000. Of course, my husband was telling me to get the clay out.
I’d even try clay for that!
