~ The Reborning Process ~

A Before and After Picture of the Same Doll

Let me explain what we do here in our nursery. When a new baby arrives here the first thing we do is to remove all factory paint and then clean the vinyl to prepare it for the paint. If we plan to root the head instead of applying a wig we remove the mold lines and sculpt the head which gives it a natural smoothness.

On most of my babies I use the Genesis Heat Set Paints to color the vinyl. This process takes 5 to 6 very thin layers of different shades and hues,  setting each layer with heat before adding the next layer. Very light veining is done on the eyelids, forehead, hands, feet and temples.

We use either Doe Suede or Moleskin material to sew the cloth bodies. There are several different bodies and depending on the type of doll used we make the best body to match that doll giving you a very realistic baby!

The fingernails and toenails are painted in a very light shade of pink and than tipped in an ivory shade. They are triple sealed for durability.

The babies lips are also painted a light shade of pink and sealed. This sealer is also used after opening the babies nose to give it a wet look.

In our awake babies the eyes are usually changed and a nicer Eyeco Polymer or Real eye is inserted through the front of the face. Eyelashes are attached and little wispy fine eyebrows are hand painted. If the baby is an asleep one we usually root the eyelashes.

We fill the limbs with ULTRA FINE GLASS BEADS then seal them to prevent any leakage. The cloth body is weighted with the same ULTRA FINE GLASS BEADS sealed in cloth bags. The baby is than assembled and ready for her little undershirt and diaper. We dress him/her and they are laid in the bassinet or cradle to wait for adoption.

Some Pictures of the way I root babies hair ~  as you can see by the photos I am comfortable rooting the hair either thin or with lots of curls!

Beautiful Babys Nursery is dedicated to ongoing research for the most up to date procedures and materials for reborning techniques.

I use the highest quality materials available, assuring our adoptive parents that they are receiving a baby that they can trust to be the finest possible anywhere.

Baby layette items that are designed and sewn at our center are of quality cotton knit material and any designer layette items for baby are bought new and with each individual baby in mind.

Our babies develop their own individual little personalities as they process through the steps of reborning and their personal items which are included with them have been bought especially for them with this in mind.
