Reborning! IN PROGRESS

This little guy has been in progress for a while too! I think my friend Karen and I started on these sometime last year. A long time ago I bought a DVD from the Secrist company on how to reborn a doll and we've been using that as our guide. It's been a HUGE help because the book we have isn't nearly as good. We are up to making the cloth body now (okay, we do have to stick the eyes back in and buy wigs). I'm going to have to cut the chest down so I have the neck flange to use to attach the body to. It's been a lot of fun doing these. The difference between the original color and the new color is amazing. I think we have two or three coats of color on the body, can't remember though. We are using Genesis paints and they are pretty easy to use. Ever smell one of these vinyl dolls? For some reason both Karen and I love the smell of these things, lol - they are kind of sweet . Hopefully we'll get these done before snow flies this winter!
