Welcome Cindy!

As far as teacher certification classes... they are always taught at the factory in Midland, Michigan (we do not certify online as we must see the work in person and also see people do it). We are having one this month. Be sure to sign up for the newsletter, this will give you lots of information. Any other information about classes is under the classes thread topic.

I have a brother who won't go see our mother because he's also a chicken to fly, so I know how it goes. But he's also afraid to drive out of MN (she lives in AZ).

There is usually an IDEX in Vegas every year I believe. Our last one was in Feb in Orlando, FL.

You can post "links" of your dolls here in forum if you like. People love to see other's work. Links only now. :)

I am a beginner and I have been looking for a teacher in California. I will be taking my beginner class outside of California....but would like "local" help for further advancement. I met via Ebay another artist from California, and I can call her for help ...we need a group set up for Californians...we need teachers.. I would be interested in your classes...how would I make contact with you, and where do you live? I live in the southern central valley---1 hour away from LA... aww

I live in Southern California and Newborning/Reborning hasn't quite picked up here *yet* like it has in the midwest and the south. I expect in the next year we will start to see more and more though!

On a serious note, for people who have a phobia of flying that is affecting their life, there is help. There are therapists and psychologists who work on such phobias.

I'm surprised that there aren't more reborners in Cali as usually the stuff we get here in the Midwest comes from you guys out there on the coast!

I think that is just fashion and politics ;)

I'm Linda and very new to this fascinating hobby of reborning dolls. Does anyone know of classes or distributors of Secrist products in British Columbia, Canada?
Thanks!

Hi to everyone, another newby. Been searching the forums and this one is great. I'm waiting for my first kit to arrive. After reading through some of the forum you all seem to know so much... Now I'm wondering if I can actually do it. There is so much I don't know.
I'm in the UK, couldn't find a well informed forum so I joined here, everyone is so helpful and sharing their expertise. I think I may need lots of help. All the reborns I've seen here are wonderful you are all so talented.

Hello, Nanna14,Denise, Linda, and Sandy, A very warm welcome to you all, no need to panic, I can do all that for you, To some I feel like I am Great Nana, I,ve been reborning for about 8 months but have I never used the Genesis paints so, I,ll be a newbie at it. I,m waiting on my Paints and Pheobe to do, I,m getting quite excided to do a new texture as I have been using inks. You will be come very addicted to the forum and sometimes, if nobody bothers you (at home I mean) you,ll be checking in at 2.30 am. It just seems to be like pen pals with a common interest. weirdface

Hi to all the newbies :) I've just joined this forum a couple of weeks ago, and it's great!

To Denise: Welcome, and glad you've joined us! There is a Secrist (I think) forum in the UK just in case you're interested, here's the link:

It seems to have the same format, and very kind & helpful members as well!

To Linda: I believe your Secrist Distributor is:

Hi Everyone !

My name is Linda. First time on the forum. I live in the USA in upstate New York . I've done porcelain dolls for about twelve years. I saw the reborn babies in a gift shop. I knew I had to have some. I have all my supplies bought and my doll bought. I've been looking at this forum and enjoying reading the different post. this forum is wonderful with greatly talented people who are more than glad to help and share advise. Which I will probably need a lot of. I guess I'm just a little nervse about painting my doll and making him look like the creature from the black lagoon. HA! HA! I guess I'll start by applying the internal wash as I have seen on secrist dvd. Thanks for any advise and hope to be freinds with all of you for a VERY LONG TIME.

Hello Linda, welcome to this wonderful forum,I can't speak highly enought of the knowledge some of the reborners have and are willing to share. I myself have been making porcelain dolls for over 20yrs and have a great passion for doll making, in both types, the reborns I started doing about 8-9 mths ago. I,m hoping like you I don,t stuff up with the Genesis Paints. But I can pick a nice doll or baby when I see one. weirdface
