there is so much to learn when it comes to reborning, and so many ways to get started my sugestion is to buy yourself a starter kit.
this is an australian site but a good exsample of the kit i mean: http://collectablekids.com.au/shop/products/index.php?id=692

you can get smaller and cheaper ones too. my next sugestion is that google is your friend, google watch and learn and educate yourself as much as possible.

here are some great tutorial links that have helped me alot along the way.

hey thanks! Now do you know what the difference in painting a reborn, or putting clay over top of the head and sculpting?

imaspaz,

Reborning doesn't usually involve adding clay or resculpting. If you are just starting out, I suggest you start with painting and move on to sculpting later. You will find that there are plenty of sculpts that have open mouths. Try looking at the doll kits section.

The best thing for you ,if you want do amini is get the mini kit from here at Secristsbut You will need to bye the DVD on painting and hair rooting if there are no theachers available near where you live.
