I have done it! I have finally reach Baby #10 for my doll show line up. I have been diligently working since December 2025 and I am so exhausted but so incredibly proud of myself. I truly hope all of my babies find their forever homes next month and people enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed creating them.
Adelaide by Samantha Gregory is my last baby for the doll show. Technically, she is #9, with #10 being my contest entry that I must keep a secret! I'll be sure to share her after the contest is over. For now, I am enjoying the finish line with Adelaide. This is my second painting of this sculpt. My first one was a dark-skinned version. This time, I wanted to try a new skin tone and continue practicing on my painted hair. I am so in love with how she turned out! This style of hair painting is something I have been studying from photos of other artist's work. I love the wet, freshly brushed look, which I can only achieve with layering paint stroke, as opposed to the pencil.
She's such a sweetheart. If she doesn't find a new home, I am definitely going to keep her for myself. I love her dainty little hands.
Update 7/28/26 Little miss Adelaide did not find her forever home at the DFW doll show, so for now, she will remain in my personal collection. I am secretly happy about this, because I love her so much and wanted to keep her for myself :P I recently entered her in my first Reborn Artist Alliance contest; I can't wait to see how she made out.
