I am starting a new blog. This is where I will be posting all of my step-by-step WIP photos from now on. I decided that I would do this for myself as a visual journal, but I am happy to share what I can with anyone interested. What I intend to do is show the paints I use and what each layer does to a reborn that I am working on. I have done a couple of threads like this on here before, but I don’t want to junk up the forum with any more of them. I have been keeping the paint swatches for each layer of each baby in a little sketchbook and making notes there, but I feel that I need the photos as well; hence, the blog. This information is invaluable when I am shooting for a specific skin tone. I am by no means an expert and if you decide to read my blog, then please know that we are learning together
In time, I hope to link some live painting videos from there as well.
Anyways, here is the link: https://peachtreereborns.wixsite.com/website

There is not much there, yet. Just a welcome post and a homepage. I literally just made it ![:smiley: :smiley:](//discourse.bountifulbaby.com/images/emoji/twitter/smiley.png?v=9)
Thank you guys!
The support of this forum as meant everything to me as a reborn artist. I would have given up so long ago if not for the encouragement and guidance that I find here. That is why my information, anything I can give, is yours!

Bookmarked
I bookmarked also. I am up for anything I can learn. I appreciate your efforts.
How it will work? I signed up, so will I be notified by email about your new posts? Do I need to be logged in just to read it?
Bookmarked too. I appreciate and thank you for sharing. For myself, I’ve never stopped trying to learn with painting the dolls. I hate getting into rut and paint the same way all the time, I am about chances and trying new things and ways. Thank you again. Your work is beautiful.
New updates to the blog! I covered the entire making of my newest dolly Wendy. I also put in an area on the homepage where customers can order via Reborns.com. I don’t think my blogs sees much traffic yet, but I am preparing for a hopefully bright future.
@Peachtree I love your WIX page. Did you pay to sell on there? I was thinking about doing that too. I have all of the dolls that I have made on WIX and was thinking about selling from there.
I did not pay to sell. You can create product listings for free. Each listing directs buyers to my Reborns page to complete a purchase.
