The Best Online Reborn Help Forum!

I have been using it all over because some of the first reborns I made (before this product was ever even available) have become shiny over time and after many clothes changings. I decided I didn't want any of my reborns going to other homes to become shiny later. I don't have a problem with my Genesis being shiny when I am finished with the babies. I've just been doing this to prevent it from happening later on because I've seen it with my own eyes. My first reborns who are three years old now are becoming really shiny.

I really don't like this product though and was hoping for something better. I thought I was putting it on as thin as possible but maybe I'm not. I load a paint brush with it and then dab the brush to a cosmetic wedge. Then I pounce it on the baby pretty thin but enough that I can tell it is there. How do you do it?

I do notice the slightest bit of texture but I thought that was how you achieve the "dewy complexion." IS there something else to do that with because I do like that look.

Thanks again!

Thanks!  Now I don't feel so alone.

I've been reborning for over two years now. The matte finish is the only thing that has ever given me a problem. I've got the hang of it now but I don't like it. I was just hoping that the new Authentic matte product might be easier to use but it's not looking like it is going to be any different. Oh well.

I love meeting other reborners though. Do you have a website or anywhere I can go to see your work. You can see mine at www.neverlandnursery.com. I don't know of anyone in my area that reborns so it's pretty lonely around here.

Nice to meet you!

Wow! Your website is nice, very professional!  You seemed to have covered everything in it! I would love to set one up myself I just am not that good at it .  I wouldn't know where to begin.  I don't even have a nursery name as of yet (something else I need to work on) I just love reborning/newborning.  I'm in the same situation as you as far as being the only rebornist/newbornist in my area, that's why I said this forum is a  wonderful find.  It truly has helped me through many difficult  times. Now you know where to come when you feel alone , the doors are always open

 

Hi!  No, I don't make my own mohair.  What I have on ebay is  a batch of really fine strands of kid mohair.  It is from one of the supposedly best mohair suppliers.  I really can't say because it is the only batch I've purchased from her.  I am funny about my mohair.  I like it to look as real as possible and these strands were too thin.  Baby hair is actually thicker than this but it still looks nice.  Again, I'm picky.  I've found a small supplier who has fabulous mohair with no frizz!  She only takes a few customers though and last I heard, she's booked.  Good luck on your search.

Hi.   When I see some of the whitish places on my dolls, I usually dab a litte bit of paint thinner on a cosmetic sponge and just dab it.  That usually takes care of it.
