Little Reborn Wonders

Und dann war da noch....

2012-02-04T18:45:00.003+01:00

...der kleine Spencer... er sitzt schon ein paar Tage im Maxi-Cosi und trotz großartigstem Wetter heute, habe ich es nicht geschafft Tageslichtfotos zu machen, sondern habe erst am Abend ein paar Schnappschüsse mit Blitz geschossen. Hier träumt die kleine Speckbacke also...

Färbung fertig?

2012-01-18T20:07:00.002+01:00

Ja, es ist schon für mich eine ungewöhnlich kräftige Färbung und noch mehr sollte es jetzt nicht mehr werden. Das jetzige Ergebnis ist noch ungebacken, weil ich mir nicht sicher war, ob es nicht 'too much' ist, aber so sieht es auf den Fotos nicht aus und die Kamera ist ja viel gnadenloser als das menschliche Auge... dann kann es jetzt auch los gehen mit dem Haarpainting.

Eine Frage der Augen

2012-01-10T19:05:00.002+01:00

Jamie hat jetzt eine fast komplette Grundfärbung und jetzt kommt noch das Blushing und ein paar Effekte, bevor die Augenbrauen und das Hairpainting dran sind. Also noch viel Arbeit... Trotzdem konnte ich nicht widerstehen, die neuen Augen, die heute kamen, gleich einmal zu probieren. Die hellen habe ich gleich weg gelassen, das passt einfach nicht. Jetzt bleibt nur noch die Wahl zwischen dunkelblau und schwarzblau...

Und weiter geht's...

2012-01-08T21:49:00.002+01:00

...mit Jamie. So langsam komme ich in den Bereich, wo ich vielleicht die optimale mottling-technik gefunden habe, oder zumindest bin ich kurz davor! Bei den Augen bin ich noch nicht ganz schlüssig, aber bis diese Wahl akut wird, ist es ja noch ein längerer Weg.

Bitte mitzählen...

2012-01-04T19:15:00.003+01:00

Dieses Jahr habe ich mir ein Limit von 10 Bausätzen gesetzt. Etwas beängstigend ist die Tatsache, dass ich bereits am Neujahrsmorgen den 1. Bausatz gekauft habe, und zwar den süßen Jamie von Olga Auer.

Man kann nicht gerade von Liebe auf den 1. Blick sprechen, schließlich war ich schon der Meinung, dass der Bausatz ausverkauft wäre... Jetzt wo ich den kleinen habe, sind meine Zweifel gänzlich zerstreut, im Gegenteil, der Bausatz ist einfach super-süss und sehr schön modelliert! Eigentlich wollte ich heute Abend schon loslegen, aber es kam doch noch so einiges an 'Hausarbeit', dass ich nicht vor mir her schieben kann und will! Also, spätestens am Wochenende geht es los mit dem kleinen Jamie... trotzdemg habe ich schon mal passende Augen gesucht, und ich denke auch gefunden...

Ein bisschen Spencer...

2012-01-01T22:01:00.002+01:00

Für ein bisschen Spencer habe ich heute Zeit und Lust gefunden.

Momentan bin ich einfach viel zu sehr ins Lesen vertieft. Wer eine Vorliebe für Thriller und Serienmörder hat, dem kann ich Paul Cleave empfehlen. Ich bin jetzt bei seinem ersten Roman (den ich als 2. Buch von ihm lese) und ich glaube, es sind noch 3 oder 4, die vor mir liegen. Ich hoffe sehr, dass bis ich damit fertig bin, sein neustes Buch erschienen ist... so viel zu meinem Excurse in die Literatur!

Ganz besonders habe ich mich heute morgen gefreut, als ich gesehen habe, dass es doch noch ein paar Jamie-Kits bei Olga gibt. Insider fangen jetzt an zu zählen, denn es gibt in diesem Jahr ein von mir selbst auferlegtes Limit, was Bausätze betrifft. Unter dem Strich sollen nicht mehr Bausätze kommen, als Babies gehen... ob ich das schaffe??? Wenn ich fleissig weiter lese, stehen die Chancen nicht schlecht! ;-)

Aber hier erst einmal Spencer. Er ist jetzt so gut wie fertig gefärbt und bekommt jetzt noch Augenbrauen und ein Haarpainting.

Happy New Year!

2012-01-01T00:59:00.001+01:00

GB Pics - Frohes Neues Jahr

Auf ein neues! :o)

Das war 2011

2011-12-31T16:04:00.002+01:00

Und dies hier war das Jahr 2011. Insgesamt 16 Babies wurden in mühevoller Kleinarbeit erschaffen und haben fast alle ein schönes, neues Zuhause gefunden. An dieser Stelle auch noch ein Dankeschön an die Sammlerinnen, die mir ihr Vertrauen entgegen brachten.

Ich freue mich auf das nächste Jahr, auf neue Babies, neue Bausätze und noch viel mehr!

Spencer - so weit schon mal...

2011-12-24T23:48:00.003+01:00

Was macht man so, wenn die Feierlichkeiten um den Weihnachtsbaum beendet sind und das Kind völlig erschöpft eingeschlafen ist? Richtig, man relaxt... oder chillt... um dann doch irgendwann mal den in Bearbeitung befindlichen Bausatz anzugucken und doch noch mal kurz mit den Farbtöpfen etwas herumspielen. Naja, Foto für das digitale Auge muss ich ja sowieso mal machen, um zu sehen, wie es so wirkt. Und warum das ganze dann nicht auch noch mal kurz eben in den Blog stellen? Ja, genau... wer weiß, ob ich da morgen Zeit und Lust zu habe... oder übermorgen, oder über-übermorgen... ;-)

Doch noch eins...

2011-12-23T17:03:00.002+01:00

Claire hat satte 11 Monate gebraucht, fertig zu werden! Immer wieder wurde sie zurück gestellt, weil andere dazwischen kamen... aber nun ist es geschafft und ich hoffe, dass sie bald ein schönes, neues Zuhause findet. ♥

Morgen...

2011-12-22T22:34:00.001+01:00

...fange ich bestimmt mit dem kleinen Spencer an. Nachdem sein Outfit nun auch schon da ist, gibt es keinen Grund mehr auf irgendwas zu warten. Sobald ich Zeit finde, geht es los...

Etwas vorschnell?

2011-12-21T18:37:00.002+01:00

...war wohl das Posting mit dem voraussichtlich letztem Baby dieses Jahr. Es wird wohl noch mindestens eine weiter 'Geburt' geben, evtl sogar noch eine spontane zweite... denn plötzlich kam Spencer einfach daher und war auch noch im Angebot... wer kann dazu schon nein sagen? Ich habe schon einen traumhaften Strampler für ihn und könnte quasi spontan die Farben wieder hervor kramen... :o) So mag' ich es am liebsten! Sehen, verlieben, machen...

Letztes Baby dieses Jahr?

2011-12-18T16:34:00.005+01:00

Die Farben habe ich gestern weg geräumt und den Rest, der sich noch so auf dem Küchentisch (meinem 'Arbeitsplatz') tummelt, wird im laufe der nächsten Woche noch an seinen Platz geräumt. Jetzt werde ich noch etwas meine Claire rooten, aber ganz gemütlich und ohne Druck.

In die kleine 'Haily May' bin ich sowas von verliebt! ♥ Die kleine ist einfach so hammer-süß geworden, dass ich gar nicht weiß, ob ich mich von ihr trennen möchte... hier ist mein diesjähriges Weihnachtsbaby:

Was wurde eigentlich aus...

2011-12-16T23:17:00.005+01:00

...meinen ersten Rebornbabies, die ich in die Welt hinaus verkauft habe? Dieser Gedanke kam mir eben so. Wie fast jeder übermotivierte Anfänger habe ich natürlich alles verkauft. ALLES! Und jetzt frage ich mich, wie diese Puppen wohl heute aussehen?

Hier z.B. Lucy von Linde Scherer, eine meiner ersten Werke. Ich war stolz wie Oskar auf sie und wusste damals noch nicht einmal, wie man ein richtig realistisches Hautbild macht! Gerade kam mir in den Sinn, ob ich diesen Bausatz noch einmal mache, nur um einmal selbst einen Vergleich zu haben.... ;o)

Von wegen....

2011-12-10T20:49:00.003+01:00

...auf der faulen Haut liegen! Nur weil ich hier nichts schreibe, heißt es nicht, dass ich nicht weiter 'arbeite'. Zum einen habe ich Lindsey (Hanni Posch) fertig gestellt (Fotos hier: http://www.little-reborn-wonders.com/babys/lindsey/album/ ) und sie ist auch schon in ihrem schönen neuen Zuhause, wo sie freudig aufgenommen wurde. Weiterhin habe ich Claire weiter gerootet und sie bleibt mein langzeit Projekt, das hoffentlich bald zu einem -glücklichen- Ende kommt.

Und dann habe ich jetzt -so ganz nebenbei- Haily May am Start, die ab morgen Haare bekommen wird und dann noch ein Weihnachtsbaby werden soll. Haily May ist eine Rarität. Es gibt nur 150 Bausätze und diese werden nur direkt von Cindy Lee Ibbetson direkt aus Australien vertrieben. Eigentlich witzig, dass der Bausatz ein Portait eines Babies aus Deutschland ist und man dieses nur in Australien bekommt.

Ich finde die kleine Maus richtig niedlich! Wenn ich eine Sammlerin wäre, würde ich mir die süße nicht entgehen lassen!

Das Jahr geht... was kommt???

2011-11-21T19:52:00.004+01:00

Ich denke, so zwei bis drei Babies werden hier bis Jahresende noch fertig. Vielleicht nicht ganz die, die ich in meiner Jahresendplanung genannt habe, aber es kommt ja irgendwie doch immer anders als man denkt. Das ist eben das Leben... und Leben bedeutet Veränderung und Neuerung! Wenn man sich nicht neuen Situationen stellt, wird man sich einfach nicht weiter entwickeln, neues lernen sondern immer dort stehen bleiben, wo man gerade ist.

Veränderung ist das Stichwort. Und diese strebe ich jedes mal wieder an, wenn ich den Pinsel in die Hand nehme, um ein neues Baby zu erschaffen. Aber bei welchen Techniken auch immer ich mich versuche und nicht zu dem gewünschten Ergebnis komme, greife ich auf meine 'alten Farbtöpfe' Zurück und frage ich, ob ich wirklich schon am Hochpunkt meiner Blüte angekommen bin?! Ist hier jetzt Schluss und es geht nicht weiter? Oder befinde ich mich in der künstlerischen Phase, die Stillstand verheißt, bevor der Anstieg erfolgt?!

Ich hoffe, dass es das ist. Denn wenn es hier und jetzt stehen bleibt, wo ist dann die Herausforderung?

Die Jahresendplanung

2011-11-07T19:34:00.003+01:00

Nun, da bin ich zurück aus Eschwege (allerdings schon am Samstag und eins ich sicher, SO mache ich das nicht noch einmal!) und mein Shopping-Wahn hat sich doch ziemlich in Grenzen gehalten. Im Nachhinein muss ich sagen, LEIDER! Am Sonntag ist mir noch so einiges in den Sinn gekommen, wo ich nicht einfach hätte weiter gehen sollen. Jetzt muss ich mal sehen...

Dann zur Planung bis zum Jahresende. Noch sind zwei Auftragsbabies zu rooten, der kleine Mailo von Elisa Marx k ö n n t e ein 'Zwischendurchbaby' werden und dann steht noch Victoria zusammen mit Tegan in der Warteschleife. Eigentlich dachte ich, wow, die Victoria ist ja groß... aber dann kam Tegan und jetzt kriege ich so langsam Angst! So einen Kopf rooten??? Naja, ich färbe erstmal und entscheide dann spontan, ob Tegan nicht doch ein Painting bekommt. Der Vergleich macht die Dimension schon deutlich..... aber ich liebe dieses Gesicht einfach!

Looking forward to....

2011-10-31T21:32:00.003+01:00

...meeting you in Eschwege soon!

Nur noch wenige Tage bis zu 'dem' Event (Puppenshow) in Deutschland schlechthin! Ich freue mich sehr, dieses Jahr wieder (als Besucher) dabei zu sein und Leute zu treffen und mir ganz viele Puppen, Bausätze und vieles mehr an zu sehen!

Still Daisy wip

2011-10-29T20:29:00.002+02:00

Today I continued painting Daisy and came to the result, that I am not really good in ethnic skin tones. Of course I did not try them as many times as I did caucasian babies, so this is not a real surprise. What takes me into real trouble is painting the lips... oh dear, of course I want it perfect and I am never happy with the result. So there are two options, try harder and paint more ethnic babies or continue in my caucasian babies... ;o) Keep you posted...

Ethnic Daisy - wip

2011-10-22T16:58:00.003+02:00

After uncountable layers I think I got a good base-tone now. Ethnic painting is a real challange for someone who is not familiar with this colors. Now I can continue with depth and shades.

I love...

2011-10-17T17:13:00.002+02:00

...my smartphone. Today I found Blogger-App sothat I can post now from everywhere! Yes, I REALLY love my phone!!!

And I also painted a little bit. But not much to see yet.

Lindsey Posch - wip

2011-10-09T20:43:00.003+02:00

Painted a little bit the last days... she has so a cute face! Love this sweety!

Calculation

2011-10-08T23:32:00.004+02:00

It just came up to my mind to do a breakdown of profit and loss of a reborn-baby. Who is not interested into maths should ignore this post... I based on sale through ebay from Germany inside Germany. So, here we go:

Final sale price: EUR 250,00 (based on auction with EUR 1,00 start)

Insertion Fee: - 0,25

Selling-Fee: - 22,50

Paypal-Fee: - 4,67

You see, ebay is winning a lot. And your net price is EUR 222,58 - and this are the expenses:

Dollkit: - 70,00

Body: - 12,00

Filling: - 30,00

Mohair: - 25,00

Clothing: - 20,00

Packing: - 5,00

Paints/Brushes/Sponges: -8,00

Net win: EUR 52,58 (I forgot to calculate electricity... ;-)

And this is the time you spend on creating a doll:

painting: 8 hours

rooting: 40 hours

take photos: 2 hours

work on computer: 2 hours

total: 52 hours

...so, in average each hour is paid with EUR 1,00! Who ever would take up any work for this rate???

Say good-bye to your thoughts to get rich through reborning! It takes not only the hours above mentioned, but also time for social networks, forums, websites and blogging...

So, should I give up?

No... I LOVE IT!!! :o)

Still alive...

2011-10-07T23:01:00.002+02:00

...after a long time of work very much (yes, even me have to earn money... you folks are not going to spend enough on my reborn-art, so what can I do? ;-) I came back to my desk today. I have two little cuties which got the second layer of skin today. If the color is good (I will see this tomorow at daylight) I will bake them and continue in the afternoon.

Beside this two 'custom oders' I received the tiny 'Daisy' by Bonnie Brown and I want do her, too! Maybe I will make her ethnic... or not? Or should I order another one to make one 'black' and one 'white'? ...wow... she's really so cute... :o)

...I guess she will be mine... :o)

Yelina

2011-09-23T20:51:00.003+02:00

almost finished. Just some details I have to do tomorrow and then take some nice pics of this sweety. She is my only 2nd Marx-Baby and I don't know why I do not do more of these wonderful kits. I just think, she came out more than a boy? Not sure yet, but I think so...

New Hobby?

2011-09-13T21:46:00.003+02:00

I wished I would have had more time to play and try. There are so many things to discover about photography and I ask myself why I did not follow my intention when I was young and thougt about to learn to be a photographer.... too late now for profession, but for sure could be a nice hobby...

Macro Lens

2011-09-03T18:48:00.003+02:00

Today I played with my new macro lens. I was not sure if it was what I wanted when I first tried it and I found it was hard to use. I still feel it's difficult to use but the pictures are not that bad. The animal you see is approx 1,5 cm only and I have no idea what it was. I looks a little bit like a butterfly but it was too small and it did not fly away like butterlies usually does... for this it was nice to pratcise on him.

Yelina - more wip

2011-09-02T20:02:00.001+02:00

I was only painting one layer every evening this week and this is how Yelina comes out so far. I think she is very cute already....

I take a break...

2011-08-29T21:54:00.003+02:00

...after finishing Tanya I decided to take a break and relaxe a little bit. And this is, what happened today:

It was clear to me, that this sculpt is a 'have to' and after I got it I could not really wait. Again I am trying something new with painting. I made 3 skin-tone-layers and did not start mottling yet. I think this way is not too bad as I want to avoid a too redish look. Anyhow, I will need to add some red-tones on the mottling. This time I will be brave with colors... promised!

And the next... Kaelin

2011-08-27T19:50:00.004+02:00

Today is dolly-day! :o) Here we go with the next cutie ....! Big shooting tomorrow... :-/

Tanya's rooting finished

2011-08-27T15:57:00.003+02:00

Finally Tanya is rooted. I will assemble her tomorrow - or maybe this evening - and take photos.

Hairpainting - wip

2011-08-14T11:05:00.003+02:00

Beside rooting Tanya I paint the hair of Kaelin. Even if the head is rather small it takes much time. Here is the progress:

Step 1:

Step 2:

It will take at least 3 or 4 more layers before it will be finished.

My SLR-Cam...

2011-08-13T21:53:00.005+02:00

...can do phantastic photos. Like this from the setting sun this evening....

this photo is in no way edited. Only size was changed and watermark was added.

So you might ask, what is this unclear thing in the front? Let me show you:

Yes, it's a 100-Euro-note! And you can see, when this was made clear that the sunset disappears unclear behind... oh, wow, I have a SLR-cam! So, you might ask, why I show you this. Well, this is simply to show you what was left behind after I was go out for shopping today with a 500-Euro-note! *lol*

By the way, I'm rooting and for this can not show you any new pics... :-( But stay tuned, there will come out something very special... I promise!

Sammie Rawn

2011-08-05T22:42:00.004+02:00

Today I finally managed to do photos of this sweety. Poor thing have to go to ebay soon, because there is no space left to keep her... :-(

All her photos can be seen here: http://www.little-reborn-wonders.com/babys/sammie/album/

Nelerich

2011-07-29T17:26:00.002+02:00

Nele is finished and came out as a boy. Anyhow, I can't think about a good name, so he will be called 'Nelerich' for the time being.

Panting almost done

2011-07-26T21:40:00.003+02:00

Not completely done now. Will add some more hair tomorrow and do some structure on hair as well as on skin. She comes out quite nice or should I say, he?

New try in painting technique

2011-07-23T21:38:00.003+02:00

Tried something new but not sure about it... the secrit is to use less red. But, no, not really, just the mottling is without 'real' red. And then took more pure red in the blushing. I will combine this with a new trial in hair-painting-technique. Let's see....

Sammie finished

2011-07-21T18:53:00.004+02:00

My Sammie is finished now and today her dress arrived! It fits her perfectly!

I will do a 'big shooting' with her at the weekend. I did not decide yet if she will go to the 'Oscar' because I have something different in mind... a little big surprise... and I will not tell a word! :o)

Tanya Legler - painting complete!

2011-07-10T19:37:00.002+02:00

Today I completed painting of Tanya and are going to root now. I did not finally decide about the color, but I guess it will be light- or medium-brown. Photos are taken with flash, because it's very cloudy here.

Professionell oder Hobby?

2011-07-09T22:06:00.002+02:00

Heute mal wieder ein paar Worte in Deutscher Sprache. My readers from abroad please kindly use the translate-widget. Wobei es mir persönlich eigentlich egal ist in welcher Sprache ich schreibe, denn wer Macbeth auf Englisch interpretiert hat, wird mit diesem Thema wohl auch wenig Probleme haben! :o)

Nun, nehmen wir doch erstmal den Begriff 'Professionalität' und geben ihn bei Wikipedia ein. Heraus kommt folgendes:

Ein Profi, Kurzwort von veraltend Professionist, ist jemand, der im Gegensatz zum Amateur oder Dilettanten eine Tätigkeit beruflich oder zum Erwerb des eigenen Lebensunterhalts alsErwerbstätigkeit ausübt.

Ok, da kann ich mich getrost zurücklehnen und mich in die Hobbyisten Ecke stellen. Besonders gefällt mir ja der Begriff 'Dilettanten'! Aber man achte drauf, es steht etwas von 'veraltet' dort und somit lesen wir weiter:

Der Begriff Professionalität, vor allem das Adjektiv professionell, wird auch als Kennzeichnung der Art der Ausübung einer Tätigkeit verwendet, vielfach unabhängig davon, ob dies gegen Bezahlung geschieht. Dieser Begriff wird ebenfalls zur Beschreibung der Qualität eines Produktes verwendet, ... Quelle

Aha, jetzt sind wir schlauer, oder? Nein, eigentlich nicht...

Es gab vor einiger Zeit mal einen Beitrag von einem Reborn-Shop über den Kauf von Reborns und was man sich alles damit antun kann (also im Klartext, man zerlegte mal ein Werk einer Rebornerin in einem Video und kommentierte das was hervor kam mit hochgezogenen Augenbrauen). Damals wurde geraten, ein Reborn möglichst nur bei einem gewerblichen Anbieter zu kaufen, da dieser laut Gesetzt verpflichtet ist, das Werk ggf wieder zurück zu nehmen.

Diese Tatsache ist ein zweischneidiges Schwert, da es natürlich auf der einen Seite auch Käufer gibt, die sich eine Puppe quasi zur Ansicht kaufen, um sie dann bei Nichtgefallen (auch wenn kein Mangel vorliegt) wieder zu retournieren. Bei Auftragsarbeiten sieht dies wohl rechtlich noch ein klein wenig anders aus, aber wie überall ist das Recht hier natürlich dehnbar und wer hat so ein enges Verhältnis zu einem Anwalt, dass man sofort gegen alles klagt?!

Andererseits gibt es allerdings auch 'professionelle' Reborn-Künstler, die ein Gewerbe betreiben und sich trotzdem nicht für das Recht auf Rückgabe interessieren. Wie das geht? Wohl für diese Art von abgebrühten Leuten ganz einfach. Anrufe werden nicht mehr entgegen genommen und die Rücksendung wird Annahmeverweigert. Was ich mich persönlich frage, ob diese Leute sich wirklich im Recht sehen? Vertrauen sie einfach darauf, dass die wenigsten wirklich den Weg zum Anwalt wählen, um zu ihrem Recht zu kommen? Ich selbst würde so kein Auge mehr zu kriegen, aber so sind eben alle Menschen anders....

Aber zurück zu der Frage, ob ich nun ein 'professional' oder ein 'hobbyist' bin: keine Ahnung! Und wenn ich ehrlich bin, interessiert es mich auch nicht! Das Rebornen macht Spaß, mal bleibt etwas mehr hängen und ich freu' mich und manchmal eben nicht, aber das ist dann auch ok, weil ich ja irgendwie auch Spaß an der ganzen Sache habe, sonst würde ich es ja nicht tun! Und ich brauche mir auch von der materiellen und technischen Seite nichts vorwerfen, weil ich mittlerweile beurteilen kann, was gut ist und was nicht. Und Rückgabe? Ich sage mal, wo ein Wille ist, ist auch ein Weg... und mal abgesehen davon, hat noch niemand den Wunsch geäußert, ein Baby an mich zurück geben zu wollen! ;o)

Little sneak peek

2011-07-08T19:29:00.003+02:00

Here we go with my current work. I did not finish painting yet, but I was so curious how she comes out on photos and do not want to miss to inform my readers about the result. Ok, it's not showing too much, because sun was almost down ;o) But I think she already gives an idea what she will look like.

Quick rooting

2011-07-04T19:23:00.002+02:00

Wow... this is speedy! Not my way and it will never (again) be... I am just impressed... ;o)

Love this little cutie...

2011-06-27T21:06:00.002+02:00

..and maybe she will be a keeper! Even if there are two little mistakes on the finger and one nail and I do not expect many people are soooo keen on this sculpt. Anyhow, I don't care, she is just so cute and I can't wait start rooting her. I will take light- or baby-brown, what will in the end be blond. But currently I really love blond....

Today I did think about to make a 'plan', what to do next... I'm not sure if this makes sense, as sometimes comes cuties in between and then I don't think I can stand the feeling do this first. Anyhow, I will try.... :o)

Shiloh - wip

2011-06-26T20:28:00.003+02:00

Sweet Shiloh is almost finished painted. Just some more details, i.e. eyebows, capillars and shine + structure, then she will be ready for rooting. This kit is not easy to paint as the sculpt is missing the depth. I would say, this is typical for chinese production. I don't know why, but I expect Reese (by Andrea Arcello) will be almost the same. I will know this soon, as it seems the kits finally arrived - more than 6 month after pre-order...

Yes, my dears...

2011-06-26T01:23:00.003+02:00

.. I am still busy....

Just created my new dolly-profile on FB. You should come an join... yes, I know, it's FB, but it's YOUR choice what you talk and what not. And you meet so many people, nice dolls and collectors as well as reborners.

Ok....

2011-06-21T21:17:00.004+02:00

...I was lazy...

...during the last days. Sometimes I do not find the right mood to make babies especially when something is not going the way I want in my private life. Even more we all had a bad cold and only today it seems it's the first day I could smell a little bit.

So, I started with the the first layer on Shiloh (YEAH!) and also put some more paint on Kealin (YEAH!)... hope to find more time soon, but seems my little girl has fever now. So, let's see...

I'm sorry, but....

2011-06-17T18:11:00.003+02:00

...life is too short to waste it with ugly-vinly-kits!

So, I decided to put the RDK-Kit back into the bag and continue with Kaelin as well as with my new love:

I know, this is not everyone's taste. But I am very, very motivated to make a cute baby from her! ♥

New Kit arrived

2011-06-15T21:24:00.002+02:00

Today I received a new kit, direct from Australia! Of course I was waiting too long with make a decision that I want it, and it was sold out in Europe when I finally came to the result, yes, I want!

So, I will be very busy next weekend! Two tiny ones and this one I have to do next, too! I don't want to think about the rooting-marathon which will come after painting, but the tinys will not need so much time and after painting is finished I will decide who will be the first and worth to go to the ReBoLa-Oskar! :o)

Tiny one - the 2nd....

2011-06-14T21:25:00.003+02:00

This evening I took out the second kit which is 16". The shade of the vinly is a dream compared to the one I started earlier. The RDK-limbs are neutralized and got the first layer of mottling while the limbs by Bountiful only got one coat of flesh (with a dot of yellow). This is a difference like night and day and I am curious if I will manage to make the RDK-Kit to a nice baby in the end. Stay with me to find out... ;o)

Tiny - very special - one

2011-06-13T21:21:00.003+02:00

I was looking for something very special for the next contest, the ReBoLa-Oskar! Yes, I was think about Jayden and was already looking for cute clothes. But then I remembered I have something very, very special in my stock. And yes, in deed this one is special. I don't remember if I ever had a vinyl is this bad color, but this is a challenge to turn this vinyl into a nice shade. And one more think I have to point out: every piece is signed! Wow... what a work for 250 kits!

Just one more detail, it's a tine baby! I guess it's 16" only... ;o)

Krista - painted hair in blonde...

2011-06-12T19:04:00.004+02:00

What is an 'artist' if she does not try something new? Here we go with Krista's painted hair in blonde... I did not decide yet if I'm satisfied but it came not out that bad. Or what do you think? ;o)

Furthermore I am not sure if that is not a boy.... I will decide when lashes had been rooted!

Best Rooting Award 2011

2011-06-12T14:04:00.003+02:00

On saturday I received my Riley back from the contest already. After I took out the doll and studied the ratings of my work I found something more:

I got this titel the third time but this is the first real award I received and I was so much suprised and blessed. Thanks very much to DP-Modelle! :o)

Riley - my contest baby

2011-06-06T18:08:00.002+02:00

Finally I can show you my baby which attended at the reborn-contest in Neustadt/Coburg last weekend. Maybe some of you already discovered the face in the new head of the blog? The result is more than satisfying, again the award for best rooting and also a golden ribbon! I am more than happy! These are only some snapshorts which I took before I send the baby to the show, because I could not attend myself.

In the garden

2011-06-05T18:22:00.003+02:00

Hot, hot, hot...

The good thing in having children is, that one is forced to do things that you never would do if you would not have children. So, it would never come to my mind to spend the afternoon outside at a temperature of almost 30 degrees C! So there was no choice than sit on the veranda in the shadow and stand up every 20 seconds when the kid is screaming, 'Mama...' I should have counted how many times she said this word and how often I had to stand up.

I took my cam to the garden and caught some impressions of our estate. And I should seriously think about to by a bigger paddling pool sothat I could also refresh a little bit... :o)

Sammie - wip

2011-06-04T18:35:00.004+02:00

This is Sammie (sculpt by Sherry Rawn) which I am also working on. I am almost ready with the painting just needs some more effects and a hairpainting. I hope you like her.

Details of eye with eyebow:

Back to reborning....

2011-05-30T22:10:00.003+02:00

..so we here go again with Krista. She will come out very cute, but how could she not as the sculpt is sweet like honey and I can not understand who could resist her. But to be honest it has a little bit the same effect like Luca, if you get to much, you feel it's much too sweet... ;o) By the way, her brother Andi is on my list of to-do's!

By the way, just decided that I will practise more hair-painting. I think about trying a blond painting, but not sure yet, if Krista will be the one in blonde... I have someone else in mind! :o)

...I did it again!

2011-05-28T21:20:00.004+02:00

I gave sculptin another try. After I made a sleeping baby which did not look nice in any way I cut down his face and inserted eyes... this is the result now and I did not decide if I like it or not. But I came a little bit closer to the technics of sculpting. So maybe I will use the next long weekend to practise a little bit more... :o)

Der Moment wenn wir uns selbst zu ernst nehmen...

2011-05-25T21:10:00.003+02:00

Heute mal ein Beitrag in Deutsch, da es wohl sowieso nur die deutsche Rebornszene belastet, was in Spiegel-TV gesendet wurde. Endlich hatte ich auch die Chance, den Artikel zu sehen.

Hier geht es zum Video: http://www.spiegel.de/video/video-1128910.html

Nun habe ich mich wirklich gefragt, was genau jetzt der Mega-Aufreger daran sein soll. Klar, Wundcreme für eine Puppe ist nun nicht wirklich gewöhnlich... aber ob das mal nicht so forciert wurde? Man weiß es nicht und da ich schon abenteuerliche Dinge gehört habe, was Sammlerinnen mit ihren Puppen anstellen, finde ich das eigentlich 'drollig', auch wie die Dame vor der Kamera damit umgegangen ist. Klar, wir sind doch alle ein wenig Gaga, aber die Aufregung finde ich wirklich arg überzogen.

Jetzt gibt es natürlich Vollblutkünstlerinnen, die aufschreien vor Entsetzen! Ein Rebornbaby in 3 Tagen fertig haben?! 280 Euro für ein Reborn-Baby?! ...irgendwas war da wohl auch noch mit der Füllung?

Jetzt muss ich mich ernstlich am Kopf kratzen und mal das zusammenschreiben, was ich im Laufe der Jahre schon erlebt habe. Z.B. gibt es offenbar eine renommierte Reborn-Künstlerin, die ein Baby an EINEM Tag fertig bekommt (inkl. Rooting) und im Durchschnitt auch nicht viel mehr als die genannten 280 Euro für ihre Puppen bekommt (wenn es überhaupt so viel ist). Wenn man sich mal Angebote bei ebay (Deutschland) ansieht, kommt man nie und nimmer auf diesen Durchschnittswert (aber das hat wohl auch viel mit der Qualität und Qualifikation der Reborns und ihrer Erschaffer zu tun). Nebenbei erwähnt sei auch noch, dass auf Ausstellungen/Messen Workshops angeboten werden, in denen für 'kleines Geld' an einem Tag (und der hat bestimmt keine 8-10 Stunden) ein fertiges Reborn versprochen wird... auch seriöse Kurse gehen eigentlich 'nur' über ein Wochenende...

Über die Füllung von Reborns wurden auch schon diverse Foren vollgeschrieben. Sammlern möchte ich einfach nur einmal nahelegen, ein Ashton-Drake-Baby zu zerlegen und sich anzusehen, was dabei zum Vorschein kommt... (ich werde mich hüten, es öffentlich zu schreiben was es ist. Ich hatte schon mal darüber gelesen und war dann doch etwas überrascht, dass es offenbar die Standardfüllung zu sein scheint... nunja...).

Ich habe keine Ahnung warum, aber über diesen Bericht kann ich mich wirklich nicht aufregen. Und wer mich kennt weiß, dass ich mich sehr gerne aufrege und ereifere... aber mir fällt dazu nur ein, dass man manche Dinge nicht zu ernst nehmen sollte und sich selbst vielleicht auch mal mit einem Augenzwinkern begegnen sollte.

Herzliche Grüsse, ihr lieben,

eure Astrid :o)

News, news, news....

2011-05-23T19:43:00.002+02:00

News? What kind of? *lol* I think it is obvious that I played a little bit with the design of the blog. I tried many backgrounds but I found out that I don't like this kind with fixed columns. This restricts the place and gives only so little space that I don't feel comfortable while looking at it. So, I hope you don't think it's too bad now... :o)

Then I packed Riley today into the box to send her out to the contest tomorrow. Much to my regret I will not go myself to the doll-show. I hope she will doing well even if I still think I could have done better. But this is what I always think. Is an artist ever satisfied with his work? I think when an artist is too convinced about his work she is at a point where she will not develop any further.

So, what are my plans now?

I want to finish rooting of Claire and finish painting of Krista before I will start a new project. There is Sammie and Devine waiting and I also decided that Jayden will be one of the next projects. Maybe also sculpting? I did not sculpt for long time now...

Let's see what comes next.

So, stay tuned...

Finally...

2011-05-21T23:30:00.002+02:00

...finished rooting!

After two weeks it's done once again. When I was ready with the head it tooks more than 2 hours more to overwork the the places where the hairs were 'lost' somehow. But it seems there are still some holes after which I have to look tomorrow. I hate it... even the color is not really easy and I will have a look how it comes out on photos. I don't know why, but photos gives a better view of things and show mistakes which the eyes (or the brain?) hide.

I'm sorry that I can not show you pictures now, but as Riley is going to the Reborn-Contest in Neustadt I am not allowed to show her in public prior to this. But I can tell you, that she is a little bit different from my other work but I'm not sure if it's better... *lol*

Rooting, rooting, rooting...

2011-05-13T22:11:00.004+02:00

I'm so sorry, my dears... but I have nothing new to show as I am currently so very busy with rooting. Even more did not find the time to put Kyra together, as there are our new familiy-members Pinky and Brain...

They are only 7 weeks old and so cute and curious. Pinky is already trying to bite my finger when I carfully crawl his belly... naugthy guy! :o)

Kyra's rooting

2011-05-04T20:17:00.002+02:00

..ist finished. Even if I still do not find so much time for reborning I managed to become ready with Kyra's head. Now just some more details and put her together. I hope to have here completed at the weekend :o)

The wedding...

2011-04-29T17:53:00.003+02:00

...was the topic of the day! Like most people who are not living in Britain we hardly had any chance to watch this special event on TV. Only a few peeks on the web... this picture was a screenshot a collegue sent to me (he's a guy NOT a gay ;o)

It's like a fairy tale, isn't it?

An Early Happy Ester

2011-04-09T20:19:00.002+02:00

Time is running and I was very busy with many things during the last weeks and especially the last days. Not much time for reborning... and there will not be much time in the next couple of weeks, so I would like to take the opportunity to wish my readers a Happy Easter!

Will be back soon!

April, April...

2011-04-02T14:31:00.002+02:00

...of course, my Jayden-Kit is well and still untouched!

I'm sorry, I could not stand it...

Jayden-Kit melted...

2011-04-01T19:40:00.002+02:00

Yes, you are reading right... my one and only Jayden Scholl melted in the oven. I still can not believe this happened to me!

I was doing some painting today and put all together in the oven when my daughter cried outside. She was trying her bike in the garden, the first time on her own and -of course- fall down and had bleeding knees. I comforted her the best way I could and cleand her knees... and over all this I completely forgot there is something in the oven.... Really! I have never seen a lump of vinly before and imagine the smell it made...

Ok, that was a hard lesson... when I have a clear mind again I must think about whom I will send to the contest in Neustadt/Sonneberg now...

Walter *21.03.2011

2011-03-27T22:17:00.003+02:00

Finally I could take pictures of sweet little Walter...

All pictures can be seen here: http://www.little-reborn-wonders.com/babys/walter/album/

To be honest I did not manage to reborn much during the last days as I was busy with some other things. And now it's only a few days left until holiday... but don't worry, everything will be ok! :o)

Happy Spring!

2011-03-21T11:26:00.002+01:00

Today I decided that time of lazyness must be over now! I have so many nice ideas but I do not come up with by butt. For this I will start right now and have no time to write more! :o)

Second layer....

2011-03-20T15:55:00.000+01:00

...this morning! You can call me speedy... *lol*

First layer...

2011-03-19T21:26:00.002+01:00

Today I stole some time to paint the first layer of Krista. And I also ordered mohair for her. I only pray that from next week I will find some more time for reborning... otherwise the next baby will be ready end of the year. :-(

Busy, busy, busy...

Snapshot Walter

2011-03-18T21:13:00.002+01:00

Today I received the crochet items I purchased from ebay UK and just wanted to try how to place a baby. I found it's difficult to insert a baby with full legs as the disc-joints don't allow moves in all directions... I have to take this into consideration for future!

Unfortunately I still could not start painting Krista and she still waits into the same position I left her last weekend. I hope to find some time this weekend and I really should continue rooting Kyra.

Furthermore I received today my first batch of Delta-Dawn mohair. I thought I ordered some dark hair, but I found it does not look really dark, but anyhow it looks and feels really wonderful. I'm not sure if to use it for Krista or Riley. In my imagination Krista is blond... so maybe I have to order some more of this mohair, which seems to be really worth the high price.

Krista in starting position...

2011-03-12T21:55:00.002+01:00

...and if the day would had more than 24 hours and I would not need to sleep, eat and more unimportant things of course I would have been done the fist layers and start over tomorrow with mottling... but in fact tomorrow first thing my brother will join me and we will change the HD of my notebook and after this lets see, how long it takes to install Windows again. I'm sure everything will be fine after this and since I stored all my important files, nothing bad will happen, but I will have a larger HD and -of course- without error! So, keep your fingers crossed for my notebook! :o)

Hope to see you all back soon!

I couldn't resist...

2011-03-08T20:58:00.003+01:00

...I only wanted to insert the eyes and see what it would look like. But when I did this I had to take out all parts and put them together... and then dress... and then... E N J O Y !!! I have to share this with you, my dear readers, because it might be you will not see her again for a long time as I have something special in mind with this cutie!

I'm sure I will do another Krista when finished this one, because it just came into my mind that she would also be a wonderful ethnic baby...

Krista Kit arrived....

2011-03-07T21:27:00.003+01:00

...today - and everything about it was really very special. The parcel was dispatched from UK friday afternoon and I could track it and followed it until it arrived in Leipzig on satursday morning. But then all the weekend nothing happened - but this morning I saw that it arrived in Hamburg and is out for delivery. But I waited... and waited... and waited... the usual delivery seemed to be through and we prepared to go out for lunch and shopping. But then, the delivery-van stopped in front of our house. It was an express-delivery van and he stood at the street into the wrong direction... really, very special delivery! I singned for the parcel and was already pleased when I saw it... but I did not want to open it in hurry and so we went out for lunch and I almost forgot about...

But when we came back home I found the package again and now it was time for the opening:

I really now got an expression of what it must be for a collector to receive the doll she is waiting for. And I really understand now that packing is not only something around the doll but can be a very special thing that make collectors feel they receive something very special, made and send with love... many thanks to 'The Cradle' who opened my eyes a little bit more now! And of course, I love the kit... MY Krista (by Linda Murray)!!! :o)

Walter - wip

2011-03-04T11:56:00.003+01:00

Here we go with a small peek of Walter. The eyes did not stay loose so I did not have much time to take a photo. Looks like every Walter, right? *lol* So, stay patient I'm sure he will be finished soon...

Back!

2011-03-03T22:06:00.002+01:00

I have a long weekend now and this evening I was painting little Walter a little bit. Seems that my power returned. So, I took the time and after this I rooted Kyra a little bit more. Tomorrow I will paint Walter more and post some pics.

Seems that my Krista-kit is also on its way finally. I thought I could start with her already at the weekend, but I don't think she will arrive so very quick. So maybe next weekend? I am so glad that I purchased the kit so early because now the item had been removed because of some - ehm - troubles (and I guess I know what it's about as I was faced with this some time ago). Now I can only wait... I am so very curious about the color of the vinyl and which quality the eyes have... anyhow, I know the waiting-time will not be boring! :o)

Need holidays...

2011-02-27T18:48:00.006+01:00

Somehow I feel tired. Maybe it's the cold which does not really go away, the dark outside or the cold weather? And I also feel a little bit tired about reborning. Oh, don't panic, not in that way I felt approx one year ago ;o) - but it's a little bit all the same. Today I rooted Kyra a little bit and came to the result that the mohair is not very well. For this I ordered some new and hope that the quality will be better. Then I started painting Walter and also ordered eyes for him. I know he will be very cute and I decided that he definately will get painted hair. Furthermore I am still waiting to order Krista... I must have her and she or Riley will go to the Contest in Neustadt/Coburg. And in my mind both of them are 'keeper's... :o)

But one thing is more in my mind: Holidays! Yes, real holidays! Leave home and go to visit our family! And we will see a lot of sun, beach, water... and -yes, I missed it- smoke Shisha! Double-appel... hmmmm... yummy! I was really think about take one head with me and root... but, no, now I decided that I will take the time and read a book! :o) It's still some time until we will go (by the way, I should book a flight!), but I will love it: HOLIDAY! HOLIDAY! HOLIDAY!

So... what next?

2011-02-24T20:25:00.002+01:00

I have the following schedule in mind:

- rooting Kyra

- rooting Claire

- painting Riley (will be rooted)

- painting Walter (maybe with painted hair?)

If Krista (by Linda Murray) will come soon she could be ranked before or with Riley! One of these will go to the contest in Neustadt/Coburg so I can not show pictures here... I will also be on holiday - I guess for 2 weeks in April, so I don't know if I can do something within this time - I think the first half year is almost over already with this plan. After this will have to spend a thought about Colliii-Awards-Contest. Take part or not? Come on, we know I will even if I will be frustrated after this ;o)

AA Kyra

2011-02-21T20:25:00.003+01:00

Painting is almost finished and I could not wait to put her together to see how she lookes. And gues what, I love, love, love this little girl! Give me now a couple of weeks to root her sweet head and then... I don't know. I am not sure if I can to let her go....

Sneak Peek

2011-02-17T19:10:00.003+01:00

I just wanted to check out how dark is the base-skintone of this cutie. I think this is good now and I can start with shading and details...

I'm sure you know, who is this sweety... ;o) Just stay patient a little bit and you can see her completely!

Happy Valentine's Day...

2011-02-14T10:44:00.004+01:00

...to all my dear readers, friends and foes. I hope you got some sweets or flowers today or at least will find a potatoe like I did... :o)

Bridget reworked

2011-02-12T15:44:00.002+01:00

Somehow it came to my mind that I could overwork Bridget a little bit. I was not really happy with her and she did not fine a mum, so I decided to overwork her. I cut her hair, changed her eyes, rooted eyelashes and added some thin hair at the hairline. I think she looks much cuter now and I must say that I am really better in doing real babies than toddlers... ;o)

Briget is looking for a new home! If you are interested, please contact me: info@little-reborn-wonders.com - :o)

Ryan Scholl *30.01.2011

2011-01-31T20:13:00.003+01:00

Ryan had been finished yesterday and as I told, I cut his hair and took some new photos. Now he looks much better, I think... ;o)

Ryan Scholl

2011-01-29T20:09:00.002+01:00

Here is little Ryan Scholl - ALMOST - finished. Just need to fill and maybe cut the hairs a little bit more. Small babies should not have hair like this! ;o) This picutre was just taken with flash, so it does not show his real painting. Maybe can do pics tomorrow... let's see...

Riley is coming...

2011-01-24T11:24:00.006+01:00

I can't believe... I just got the shipping-confirmation with tracking-number! :o)))) This much with doing plans + lists... oh, can't wait...

glitter-graphics.com

Still here... still rooting...

2011-01-23T22:34:00.002+01:00

No news yet. Only still rooting little Ryan and still not finished as I also have other things to do. Who has not? Sometimes I think others don't... always present in forums, posting in Facebook and every week a new doll finished... how?! Does they not have a private life, family or friends? I have no clue how this works... anyhow...

So, I was meanwhile falling in love with another sweet sculpt: Riley by Jessica Schenk. I love all three prototypes and I hope mine will come out half as cute as they did... here is the one of Suzette du Plessis. Wow!!!

I made a plan about what to do next... but if this sweetie will come it might happen that these plans will change again. :o) By the way, does it make sense to make plans or a 'list'? I don't think so as there is too much progress in the reborn-world.

Frankie Stroete is born

2011-01-10T16:24:00.004+01:00

Today I am proudly anouncing birth of little Frankie. I took some pics with daylight. He came out a little different from what I expected, but I am very happy with him!

Now I put away paints and brushes and will start rooting Ryan. This will take some time, so I don't know when I can post more news... ;o)

Still Ryan - wip

2011-01-08T23:40:00.003+01:00

Painting of little Ryan is almost finished now. The question of bows hat been solved tonight and I made this shot to find out if they come out good or not. As they are hardly to see on the pics I will have another look tomorrow at daylight.

Anyhow, I am missing some more 'effects', but almost everyone is doing birthmarks like storkbite or something like this. So, I will do some milkspots and leave him -almost- like he is. Now I have to wait for this clothes, as I am not fitted well with boys-clothes and the preemie-sized I have are too small (I bought them for an OOAK that never had been finished ;o)

Maybe can start rooting tomorrow...

Ryan Scholl Preview

2011-01-03T20:28:00.006+01:00

I am currently working on Ryan (by Natalie Scholl). Painting is not yet finished and I decided to root him with dark kids-mohair. Ryan is my first real preemie.

Happy New Year!!!

2011-01-01T00:45:00.002+01:00

To all my readers!

I hope you had -and still have- a wonderful time and I'm looking forward to seeing you on my blog many times!

Sooo lazy...

2010-12-30T21:52:00.000+01:00

...and somehow not! I don't know when I last time thought, that it was boring and what can I do next!? Anyhow I feel like I do nothing, but when I look back to my last days I found there was almost no second I was not busy with something... whatever...!

After all I finished rooting of Brigit and just found out I need more stuff for filling. So I will go through the shops the next days and look what I need more... maybe more kits?? *lol* ...but more clothes??? *lol*

What I missed out this years-end completely is sculpting. This was what I enjoyed so much last year... but if I like to do other things more, so why hurry in this? Time of sculpting will come back sooner or later. Just let me finish the babies I am working on and when the desk is clean I will maybe think about this again.

So, this might be the last post of the year... or maybe not. It's depending on if I will manage to put Brigit together tomorrow and shoot some pics... but I don't expect this. There will be many things to do tomorrow, so let me say, 'GUTEN RUTSCH'!!! :o)))

This was 2010...

2010-12-27T21:16:00.000+01:00

Time to look back into the almost past year. Many things happened and there were new starts in the doll-making as well as in personal matters of my life. Many of us know ups and downs and I would like to thank some certain friends who supported me and believed in me when I was about to throw all my reborning-equipment away. There was also to discover a dark side of the doll-universe... but I guess this is like in real life where the night belongs to the day and one can not exist without the other.

So, I wish all my readers a healthy, happy new year and hope to stay in touch with everyone in the next year!

I'm so excited...

2010-12-25T22:15:00.000+01:00

Almost the complete day I was searching for a new cam. I looked here and there, compared prices, performance and thought about what I need and what I want. Just a couple of minutes ago I made my choice and I can't wait to hold this technical wonder in my hands. Yes, I am really excited and feel like a child who is waiting for Santa... I was so close before pressing the order-buttom, but I have to control myself and at least wait until tomorrow as it makes no difference if I'll do it today or tomorrow...

This will be my x-mas present... and I love it!!!!

Can't wait... can't wait... can't wait... :o)))

Merry Christmas!

2010-12-23T18:54:00.000+01:00

glitter-graphics.com

Look who came today...

2010-12-19T20:27:00.001+01:00

Yes, I hoped the kit would arrive today, but did not really expect it. But before christmas it seems everything is out of controll and the postman delivered the parcel today, on sunday! This is the second time already this year... poor people working in logistics (by the way, that also counts for me... ;o)

So, I took some time to paint the first layers... I am now mixing my technique with the ones from the new tutorial. And I think it does not work too bad...

Last christmas....

2010-12-18T22:57:00.000+01:00

...I gave you my heart? No... not really. But I painted this sweety long time ago (5 monthes?) and now she will soon be ready! I bought already a lovely holiday-dress for her, sothat she can attend to Xmas or New Year's Eve. I'm not sure yet which date I can meet...

And what next? I am still waiting for Frankie, who will hopefully arrive on monday. But monday will not really help me because I will go back to work on tuesday until friday... and then it's holiday again... whooooo.... :o)))

Working on my 'oldies'...

2010-12-16T20:44:00.000+01:00

Today I took a day 'off' because of the bad-weather conditions. I decided it would be wise to stay at home and not go accross the city to my work. Thanks god, I have such a lovely collegue how always understands me! If you are also reading here, Nano, thanks so much... you are the best! :o)))

So, what can I do when I sit at home, daughter also stayed at home because of a cold (she's a little bit like her daddy... ;o) ? Yes, look at the babies I am still working on and were put togehter only temporary... first I took ecthnic Kaia and tried to take of the lip-color... that was not going well, so I decided to sculpt new lips. Hmmm... yes, I sculpted and sculpted... and baked and painted... and finally took all off! :o)

So, there is another one who want be completed... sweet Brigit is still waiting for hair, so I looked for my blond mohair from Susan Nagel, because I decided this baby should be blond, but further more give the Susan-Mohair a go after so a long time I only used Kids-Mohair. As I am going to start my toddler beginning of next year I should know something about the rooting. I must confess, this worked much better than my trial with the lips...

This one will be a real sweety, I'm sure! She will not be the typical baby I alwas do, but due to her size like a 6-9 monthes old girl... can't wait have her finished!

It's a..... BOY????

2010-12-09T22:18:00.001+01:00

Serene is finished so far. I just glued her eyes and she needs to be filled and put together but this will be done tomorrow. When I looked to her I found something strange... does she look more as a boy??? This is totally unusal for me and I must have a look for clothes... for girls no problem! ....but boys??? ;o)

Phyllis

2010-12-08T21:58:00.000+01:00

Just born! Hair painted and body changed to a 'perfect line'-body for 3/4 limbs which fits much better. ...and the next one will follow soon... ;o)) I hope you like her!

A New Little-Reborn-Wonder

2010-12-05T16:24:00.001+01:00

Today I finished this little cutie. The sculpt is Blue-Belle by Iris Klement. I have no idea why I bought this kit last year at the dollshow in Eschwege, but now I think she came out really cute with dark skin. There are onyl few little things like shorten eyelashes and then I will make a shooting for put her on ebay for adoption.
