Reborn Babies

I created the first Reborn Baby in 1990.  After teaching classes for my porcelain doll group the seeds were planted and over the next 10 years this art began to flourish.  With the advent of the Internet and personal computers in  the home, Reborning is now a worldwide art.  Here are a few of my Reborns.

Reborning is the art of taking  a blank doll and painting and detailing it to bring it to life.  The goal is to create the illusion of a real baby. Each strand of hair is hand applied using a tiny needle.  It takes days to complete the rooting of the hair.

Rooting is the crowning glory of any Reborn.  Beauiful rooting is time consuming but well worth the effort.
