Welcome to BuyRebornDoll.co.uk
A
reborn doll is a vinyl baby
doll that has been enhanced to resemble a human baby. The process of creating a reborn doll is referred to
as reborning. The technique
of reborning has evolved over the past five years with heat set paints and oils being the most used amongst
artists. Completed reborn dolls are popular among collectors, who buy them on eBay or from doll
artists.
The technique of reborning a play doll typically involves the
following processes:
- The doll is taken apart and factory paint is removed. In
the last few years reborn or doll sculptors have began sculpting model baby dolls and make vinyl kits that are
made specifically for reborning. These kits do not have factory paint, and the doll does not come
assembled.
- Previously, a purple color wash was applied to the inside
of each vinyl part to give the appearance of realistic baby skin undertones, but blue or purple has the
tendency to bleed or seep through the vinyl causing a 'bruised' appearance.
- The exterior is painted using various techniques to add to
the appearance of translucent skin tones, with effects such as veins, botching, and "milk-spots" to resemble
the skin of a newborn baby.
- Hair and eyelashes, usually fine mohair or human hair, are
applied using rooting tools and felting needles strand by strand, which can take up to 30+ hours per
head.
- The original vinyl body is replaced with a soft stuffed
and weighted body. The vinyl body can also be cut in half to create front and back 'plates' to allow mounting
of the doll to photograph or display the doll.
- A magnet may be attached inside the mouth for attaching a
bottle.
