We have just got in our shipment of new kits from Rita Rich Arnold. These kits are 20 – 22" long with Lifecast hand and feet and are just incredible, the detail is just superb. The vinyl is nice and soft for easy rooting of the hair. They didn't come with cloth bodies but I will have some available soon.
Tender Blessing.
” My Fake baby”My Fake Baby is a documentary that explores the lives of women who collect and care for life-like designer dolls called “reborns”. The reborns are customized to the owners’ specifications. The dolls can be made to have beating hearts, scratches, milk spots, specific hair colors, and open ears and nostrils — just to name a few. I have watched the 5 part series on YouTube and have to say that they did a good job on telling everyone about reborns. It has now been removed due to copy right. I found it to be a little bit depressing the way they presented it. The art form takes a long time to perfect and they mainly focused on the baby replacement side of things instead of the collectible art side of things. Overall its great to see mainstream media finally recognizing our Art form and promoting it world wide.
