I've enjoyed the changes happening to my reborn doll collection the last few months. As I am getting accustomed to being a reborn artist, I find great joy in adding "forever babies" to my collection that I painted with my own two hands. It's a very special and rewarding feeling! Even if my reborn doll creations do not sell at the prices, I'd like them to yet, I still find great joy in the process and keeping them if I have to.
I've sold off a lot of my original collection, but I don't think I'll ever stop collecting work from other artists! I found Rebecca Nation's work on Reborns.com a couple of years ago and I've admired it ever since. The way she captures the translucent delicate baby skin of fair toned reborns is so beautiful! It's definitely a technique I admire and would like to learn to immolate in my own work. Creating deeper skin tones comes naturally to me, but the real challenge is the realism for lighter skin tones (both African, biracial and Caucasian). It's something I'd like to work more on in the coming year.
When I saw this sweet Haven I knew I had to bring her home! She sat on my favorites list for quite awhile before I purchased her; it was meant to be! The artist shipped her quickly and with care. Her box packing was simple and safe. Once she arrived, I re-weighed her to be just the right kind of cuddly I like. She's adorable! I've named this girlie, Kimiko.
