New section . . .

I'll second this motion!!

Actually i was thinking of making this very same suggestion - if it were a seperate section ppl can still chose to look or not.

its nice to be able to share, comment and give/receive feedback. I also just love seeing how others may have reborn/newborn the same sculpt.

I'll check with the office after they get back from the St Louis show ok? ;)
AND I will give them the "why we want..." so that hopefully help. We could maybe have an "in progress" topic and a "show off your babies" section.

But don't DO it till I tell ya ok? :)

Yes thats a good idea ,...an Artist Showcase!

OOOOO Danielle!!
GREAT name for the topic!!!! "Artist Showcase"! with a sub-heading of the "in progress" under the show off your babies. And under both we could have a section for sculpts too (both in progress and finished)!

Good idea!!!

So lets see how many will post on this idea and see just how many would like this. Of course there would be rules on posting, size, and I'll see if it would be just Secrist dolls or "all" dolls we are working on or have done.

Hang tight!

I agree! It is great for a newbe to see good quality completed work, and work in progress. I also just looking at pictures of babies (real or doll)!

Francisca · Member

Yes please,

A section to put your pics would be very welcome. And different sub catagories would be a bonus.
Maybe even different sections for doll related items, like the bodies Pat B. made or clothes that are made for de babies.

Naomi,

Is that an Antonio Juan Lillian in your avatar? I have been wondering for a while now...

precious_lullabies · Guru

yes heather it is (was) Lillian from Antonio Juan. Although she has berrenguer limbs and the Lillian doll comes the limbs already pre-sewn on the body slip and do not have groves for cable-tie attachment, which makes them impossable to use if painting with genesis - the oven heat would turn the body slip brown and weaken the fabic strength when cooking on the paints. And they are not possible to attach to a new body given they have no groves for attachment.

Lillian isn't an expensive sculpt though and even with buying new limbs she remains cheaper than many other artist sculpts out there.

however its a beautiful face sculpt to work with, i've done 2 from this sculpt - one for my grandmother done with blonde curls to look allot like the Lillian prototype, and the one in my avatar was sold at auction on ebay.

All this said I'm about to change my avatar to a secrist baby.

Date: Jul 3, 2008

Hi Naomi, ive done 2 of the berenger with sewn on legs and arms, I unpicked them and when they were finished being painted ,I,d made a new body and used a fine wire to reattach with tacky glue, after it was all together, I used craft glue and put lace arround the arms and legs that works out well, you can also put a stich over and under the wire to keep it in place. weirdface
