I first came across Reborns on a pet fancy rat forum I was a member of when a fellow member posted pictures of her mums reborn collection .  Most of the members were freaked out about the realism whereas I was desperate for more information. Within 24 hours I had purchased my first reborn. It only took me about 2 weeks after receiving my first reborn before I decided to try my hand at reborning a doll.  I first started reborning with acrylics but made a complete mess as the paint would dry too quickly so my reborn looked very patchy and streaky. I was also unsure what mohair was needed and my first practice doll had glued on mohair wool. what a disaster that was.... I then researched the techniques of reborning dolls and once I had a better idea of what I was doing I tried again.  I couldn't get on with acrylics so tried genesis paints and never looked back.  When I first started using genesis I used the premixed colours but now mix my own colours.
I am registered disabled due to M.E. and Fibromyalgia and find reborning very therapeutic.  I love this art form and hope to continue to build on my skills and create ultra realistic babies. I have found my skills have improved greatly since joining Simply Reborn in November 2008 as they have lots of online tutorials and friendly ladies always willing to give advice and critique.  I am also a registered user of the ERA guild and Reborn Angels.
I can accept the occasional custom order, prices would depend on the sculpt chosen. Please feel free to contact me if you would like a quote for a custom reborn.
I normally offer my Reborns for sale via my website and also on eBay under the username Littlecritterz.
