[silkie_sue]

....yeah some think they are a bit creepy. But that's because they seem soooo real.

Great job! (even if it is totally creeps)

I just finished my first reborn the other day... I want to add a magnetic binkie to him so I had to remove his head...

I was wondering what you use to secure the magnet and what you use to seal the rooted hair with. What needle size do you use? I feel like mine looks too plug-ish and I am too afraid to use it on my reborn. I like him as a baldy anyway.
I was going to sell him... but I think I am attached to him. LOL
I just ordered another kit... the same one so I could make another one to sell. BF thinks I am crazy, but I would like to get in to making silicone babies! It is so darn expensive to start though!!!








What do you think?
This kit is "Taite" by Denise Pratt
He is a premie and is only 15in. He is weighted at about 2.5 lbs.
I think I achieved all the fun colors a very angry baby turns! LOL
I wanted him to look freshly squeezed (just born)

I bought 2 really cheap dolls from a resale shop to practice on, but to work on a new kit is totally different. It is much easier and the paint is accepted much better.
I would like to improve my mottling techniques... I get somewhat impatient with doing layer after layer of super thin paint. I like to see results right away, but I have to catch myself and stop and bake before I do the next layer.

It looks so real! haha

I have one, I didn't make it, but I'm thinking about it! Where is the cheapest place to get the stuff? I want to make some for myself.

 

[Daddas1Punkin]

would makeup work? to 'paint them' I mean. I do that to my dolls to make them look more real. It might work I think.

I order mine from bountifulbaby.com
You can order premixed paints (Genisis Heat Set Paints) to paint on them.(you have to bake them on)
A lot of money and technique goes into them. I, and a lot of other people, suggest buying cheap dolls from a resale shop and stripping the factory paint off of them... to test different techniques on. I found that it was more difficult to paint on the cheap dolls than the kits from BB.com. I am glad that I tried the paints out on the cheapies though.

Good luck
