About Reborns
What is a Reborn Doll?
A reborn doll is handmade art doll, painted to look as realistic as possible. Starts with clay, a sculptor creates a realistic baby-like sculp then it is produced as a soft vinyl blank doll kit. Artists, like myself, buy these unpainted kits and proceed to paint the vinyl layer by layer, including veining, tiny capilarities, mottling, rooting hair, eyelashes, etc. everything that would be seen on a real tiny human in order to achive a realistic look.
Clingy Monkey Reborns
A little about me...
I paint reborns as a hobby and I use, only the highest quality materials.
The reborning process takes me between 3 weeks to 1 month and a half depending on the size of the kit and my free time available.
I identify as a perfectionist, attention to details is my absolut favorite.
I always try to improve myself in each creation.
All my dolls have the smallest details, such as mottling, veins, capillaries, stork bites, blushing, hairline, lanugo, etc. But reborning is not a 1,2,3 step process at least not for me so every single doll is unique with a different process and details, just one of a kind.
And the most important thing is that I put my heart and soul in each of my creations.

But in reality Reborns are art pieces made for real collectors as they are very delicate and need to be handle with care. Some artist make a kid-friendly reborns so make your research, there are reborns for all needs and budgets.
Are these dolls for mentaly ill people?
Lately some Tv shows have misrepresented the reborn comunity; Reborn collectos are basically as any other collectionist (stamps, coins, miniature cars, etc) most collectors just buy dolls for display, photography or just because reborns are lovely, some others rollplay with them. So the answer is reborns are for everyone that wants to buy one.
Why are reborns so expensive?
Reborns are handcrafted "head to toe" they're sculpted by a professional sculptor then molded and poured in vinyl (or silicone) and handpainted by an artist many of us have art degrees or some type of art education, then the hair is rooted hair by hair (also the hair is specially created for these type of dolls) so basically making a reborn is a complex exhaustive process executed using expensive materials that takes lots of time and heart... therefore the price.
