Poly Pellets for filling your reborn dolls

2009-12-30T05:39:00.000-08:00

We have found a NEW supplier closer to home who can supply us with the transparent poly pellets which we have now on our website, in 1 kilo packs. Also we have obtained WHITE fluffy pellets that are so soft and feel like the BABY FAT pellets and are smoother and not as rigid as the transparant ones, also in 1 kilo packs. It does work out cheaper to buy 3kilos at a time and pay only 1 postage as we send in either the express 3kg satchel or the regular red 3kg satchel, whether 1 kg or 3kg. See them at http://www.pureindollgence.com/

Reborn Supplies - New Items

2009-12-30T05:33:00.000-08:00

Our Reborn Supplies are constantly selling fast, so new stocks of the Prisma pencils and E6000 glue will arrive shortly. Secrist Real Eyes are restocked as well as eyelashes in the various colours and thicknesses.
New Items are being added as they become availabe, eg: a stainless steel eyelash applicator, which looks like a larger type of tweezers, making it a little easier for those that are all thumbs, to apply your doll's lashes easily with a little practice.
We have also added 8 inch & 14 inch thin cable ties for those who need spares, they come in a 10 pack so you dont run out in a hurry!
Also restocks of rooting needles, in 3 barb, 6 barb and forked in the most popular sizes. Check our website for bargains at http://www.pureindollgence.com/

Welcome Baby Krista born Christmas Day 2009

2009-12-30T04:46:00.000-08:00

Adorable little Krista started out as a "Luca" sculpt by Elly Knoops and has been brought to life using Genesis heat set paints in a peaches & cream complexion. She has light blue eyes with light brown eyebrows & lashes. She has 3/4 arms and legs, all of which have been painted & blushed in all her little creases. I have given her skin a light patchy mottling effect as seen on newborn babies. Her nostrils have been opened so she can breathe.

Krista has a custom doe suede body, and has been weighted with poly beads and stuffed with polyfil fiber, to give a realistic newborn weight feel. All vinyl parts have subtle veining and she has jointed arms & legs on the body for ease of positioning. It is amazing to see the gradual transformation with each step in the reborning process.

Sorry that I haven't been updating the blog too much lately. But, I have been quite busy, working on a new website where I can sell my (and hopefully others) reborn dolls. The website features a babies for adoption section and eshop where customers can purchase any reborn dolls available for sale. In addition, there is a gallery of all my previous reborns that have been adopted by homes around the world. And I also have a seperate gallery where I will be happy to post images of dolls made by other artists. If you are a reborn doll artist and you just aren't into website programming and maintenance and would like to sell your dolls online, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to create custom listings your dolls and sell them for you for a small fee (no fee unless they sell).

Aleene's Paper Glaze

2009-10-17T00:37:00.000-07:00

A new shipment has arrived! Aleene's Paper Glaze is the medium to use if you want to give your reborn doll wet eyes, tears running down the cheeks, a runny nose or even drooling from the mouth. It goes on clear and dries crystal clear for that realistic wet look on your baby. A small amount does the trick, so the 2oz bottle will last a long time. We have these available in our webstore: http://pureindollgence.com/

Craft Smart Tacky Glue

2009-10-17T00:27:00.000-07:00

I have found a new LARGE bottle (250mls) of Craft Smart tacky glue which is similar to E6000 and Aleene's tacky glue and a lot less expensive, since I can buy it in Australia, which saves the huge shipping fees from USA. Ideal for sealing the mohair inside the head after rooting. The large size will seal a lot of heads, and the pointed nozzle makes it easy to point the glue to a section you want it at! Available in our webstore: http://pureindollgence.com/

Beating Heart Mechanism

2009-10-17T00:19:00.000-07:00

The pocket closes with velcro for ease of opening when the battery needs to be changed. We have both the heart and body available in limited stocks in our webstore: http://pureindollgence.com/

Welcome Baby Lucas, born October 6th 2009

2009-10-12T07:34:00.000-07:00

Adorable little Lucas started out as a "Kaya" sculpt by Eva Helland and has been brought to life using Genesis heat set paints in a peaches & cream complexion. I modelled Lucas on photos of my new Grandson Kodi at 12 hours old.

He has closed eyes with light brown eyebrows. He has 3/4 legs and 3/4 arms, all of which have been painted & blushed in all his little creases. I also included an anatomically correct tummy plate and have given his skin a light patchy mottling effect all over as seen on newborn babies.

Lucas has a custom doe suede body, and has been weighted with poly beads and stuffed with polyfil fiber, to give a realistic newborn weight feel. His nose has been opened to look like he is breathing, plus I have given him tiny milk spots on his nose, so cute!

All vinyl parts have subtle veining and he has jointed arms & legs on the body for ease of positioning. It is amazing to see the gradual transformation with each step in the reborning process.

Where to find good books on reborn doll making

2009-10-08T06:54:00.000-07:00

If you are new to reborning, it can be helpful to pick up a book or two on the subject to get you up to speed quickly. There are plenty of other resources available online, many free how-to videos and tutorials. But sometimes I just find that having the book right there in front of you while you are working is the best way to go. If you want to see some free videos you can always look on my reborn dolls homepage which I have the link to in an earlier entry. But, if you want to get a good book, I have done some of the hard work for you and put all the reborn doll books I could find into one place you can find quickly. If you look at my online book shop you will see all the reborn doll books on the opening page. That's not all I have there though, I have also gathered all the craft books, cook books and other specialized books I could find and put them in my bookstore too. I have special sections for knitting, crotcheting, sewing, scrapbooking, and other various crafts and plenty of other good books too.

Another Good Forum for Reborn Doll Makers and Collectors

2009-10-07T07:28:00.000-07:00

I came across another reborn doll forum lately, the Angelic Reborns Forum. They seem to have been around for quite some time and the forum is packed full of posts, information, and loads and loads of photos. I have been spending quite bit of time there trying to read up on as many of the topics as I can. Plenty of really great reborn doll photos and there seems to be no shortage of forum members ready and willing to answer any and all questions you might have. At last count they had 2,212 members, 35,221 threads and 374,126 posts.. So, I think it is safe to say you won't find any shortage of reading material there. Stop by and have a look for yourself! Here's the link... http://www.angelicreborns.com/forums/index.php?referrerid=4347

I came across an interesting site today

2009-10-05T09:23:00.000-07:00

In my many internet travels, I happened to stumble across another interesting website today. It is called Colliii.com Doll Lovers Online. It is based in Germany, but gives all reports and information in both German and English. The most interesting part of it to me was their many Colliii TV videos. They do these videos as a sort of newstyle broadcast and the two hosts Petra and James give reports on various new reborn doll models, dolls sent in by email from viewers and other topics of interest. Currently they are nearly set to announce the winners of their annual reborn doll contests in which almost 200 reborn dolls from around the world were submitted. I watched their news video where they announced the 15 finalists in two categories, with photos of all the dolls, most of them were very very nice. They will have one winner based on popular vote online (with almost 200,000votes cast last I saw) and the rest of the winners are selected by a jury of 6 judges. I thought it was a very interesting and unique site and well worth a look.
A word of warning though, although there is no harm in viewing their videos or news items, I have recently received a report that the site does involve itself in a lot of spamming and such, so you might want to think twice before signing up for any of their forums or services. There is no need to give them any information about yourself to just view their stories though. Here is a link to it so you can have a look for yourself! http://www.colliii.com/en

I have been very busy adding new items to our website store. As you may or may not know, we are able to sell items on our website cheaper than we sell the same items on ebay, since, we do not have to factor ebay fees into the prices. Today I added quite a few new items for reborn doll making, adding several kits, eyes, mohair, weighting/fill tools etc. Additionally, I am in the middle of adding my large collection of dresses and clothing for both dolls and real children sizes to toddler size. You can keep up with all the new items on the website or on ebay by subscribing to the two RSS feeds for both services.

Just starting out

2009-08-24T23:29:00.000-07:00

I have just started this blog and to be honest, I am quite new to this whole blogging concept. I am hoping it will offer a way for me to communicate with my many customers and potential customers via the web. I have been selling porcelain and vinyl dolls for many years now, but, have recently moved into the world of reborn dolls and the processes involved in creating them. I carry a full line of doll kits, parts and all the tools you will need to make reborn dolls yourself. Hopefully, I can post some helpful tips on here and perhaps others can do the same.
