Finally found just the right wig!

Website Translation Widget

You know that toddler I was working on? The bb one, from the Tibby sculpt, that had the soft head that was too thin to be rooted? Well, I've tried several different wigs and such ideas with her, but nothing worked or looked good on her. But... with help from my mom, who found a lovely wig, she is going to be adorable! I was looking on all the doll wig sites and human hair wig sites, but she found a really cute one in an online costume store of all places. It's black with curls and two braids in front, really pretty. I can't wait to order the rest of the supplies and finish her up, to see it on her! It's too long right now, but I'm going to trim it to toddler length and fix it up a bit.

I'll post pictures in a few weeks when she's done :)

Baby Clearance!

Website Translation Widget

I'm having a major clearance on my babies up for adoption and about to be born!
The Christmas season is just around the corner, and I need the room! I usually start getting Christmas orders in September, and since I have such a tiny nursery room, I really need to find homes for my current babies.

First we have Franklin, from the Elijah sculpt by Barbara Stewart. He is up for adoption for $125, a sweet preemie boy rooted with mohair.

Next is Rori, from the Conner sculpt by Heather Boneman. She is so sweet, one of my very favorite babies I've reborn. Her adoption fee is $100, she is rooted with suri alpaca fiber.

And now is Joseph, of the Wolf clan, of the Oneida, from the Alina sculpt by Adrie Stoete. He is a big boy, just captivating. He is up for adoption for $145

I will also accept offers.

I'll have another baby up for adoption soon, working on her now, and will also be taking offers on her:

And another Caucasian baby that I'll be finishing rooting this month, but no pictures yet.

That's all the news for now :)

Updates

The little preemie whose hair is rerooted with a full head of hair is ready to go home, just waiting for final payment to be sent back to her little mommy :)

Joseph (my Native American large baby) is just waiting to be weighted and "born" and then will be ready for someone to adopt him.

The toddler is still on hold, waiting for eyes and the right wig, plus a body and a few final layers.

I've started a new girl, an ethnic preemie, limited edition Destiny by Michelle Barrow #101 of 250. She is gonna be such a sweet little sleeper! Only about 1/3 done painting, so no pictures yet, but I'm gonna work on her all day tomorrow, so maybe after that.

Lauscha eyes are big in my research list right now - I love every picture of every baby with these eyes. I'm ordering some for the toddler baby, and if I like them then also for a Ava Raine sculpt that I'll be reborning soon.

That's all the news for now! :) Talk to you all again soon.

Custom prices revised

Website Translation Widget

Well, I've been thinking a lot on how to make the custom prices more fair. Before they were too low and I was losing money on the orders that wanted the more expensive sculpts. I hate to add to the cost for those, because I want my prices to be a promise, but I had to start doing that for a short time. Then I raised my prices, to cover for those expensive sculpts, but that wasn't fair to people who want the lower priced kits.

So.... I changed the custom ordering form, to have a set base price, a promised price for the reborning, but the price of the kit isn't figured into it. So, for examples of how that works:

If you wanted a preemie custom, it would be a base of $100. If you wanted the Jacob sculpt (from Bountiful Baby), it would be an additional 20 for the kit and 8 for the body plus like 5 for shipping, so the total for your custom would be $132. If you wanted to add hair, it would be the cost of hair (30) plus 50, so $212 for the completed custom reborn Jacob for this mama's order.

If you wanted a preemie custom of the Daisy by Bonnie Brown sculpt, it is still the base of $100 but an additional $120 for the kit (including body), so the price would be $220 for the custom baby, and if they wanted the tummy plate the cost is $25, plus hair would be that cost. So $345 with for a rooted complete custom Daisy for this mama's order.

Big difference between $212 and $345, but now it is all up to the person who wants the custom! It's more fair to them, and to me, and just is a better process all around :)

Joseph of the Wolf clan

Website Translation Widget

ok, the larger baby I was working on that I thought was going to be a girl turned out to be a Native American boy! Surprised me, but it just suits him so well and that's how he wanted to be. So meet Joseph, of the Wolf clan, of the Oneida (Onyota'a:ka). He still needs several layers of glue for his hair, but here is a peek:



And here is the baby I'm re-rooting for a customer's little girl. She only has the front done, but here's a peek at her too :)

Full of Ideas

Website Translation Widget

I'm just so full of ideas right now, wish I had time for them all. My dream is to someday work 1/4 time instead of full time, and reborn full time. Oh, all the babies I could make!

Right now, I am working on a bigger baby, trying out different hair against her while developing her skin tones. She's still not the tone I want her, but she's coming along. Or he, depending on the end, but seems to be a girl right now.

A reborn artist friend of mine did a little girl with these bushy ponytails on either side of the head, just adorable! I fell head over heels for the hair and am bound and determined that my toddler baby will have hair like that. So I've been shopping around for hair and, with the help of a few fabulous bargains (aka ebay), am hoping to find the perfect human hair much cheaper than what the 3-4 ounces of mohair would cost.

But, before starting the toddler, I am going to be re-rooting a beloved preemie girl head for a repeat customer's daughter - with LOTS of hair this time :)

And, after that preemie, my big baby, and the toddler, I want to reborn Elise (the most detailed sculpt I've seen so far, love it), then I want to do a blonde Bonnie, then a Felicia or Lacey, then....well, ok, maybe I should stop there for now. I know it's going to change lol. I just love creating these Little Ones!

August 05, 2011 Newsletter

Hello, Hello!

My latest custom, Gage, arrived at home yesterday. His mama is enjoying him and sent me an email saying "He is beyond gorgeous there's no way I can thank you enough!!!... I'm a very happy customer and can't wait to spread the word." That just made my day, I love hearing back from customers when they see their babies :) Here's a picture of little Gage:



Laben, after being available for over 6 months, was adopted by my best friends' sister and she loves him. I'm glad he found a good home - and she got another one of my babies lol

I've started a new baby, from the Alina sculpt by Adrie Stoete. She's gonna be a beauty!



The babies for adoption are now going to be in the newsletter, at the end, so it's easier to update the website. I just have to update this page instead of three pages (I used to have "available boys" and "available girls" pages also).
