BYRONS STILL UNAVAILABLE :(

shoot! by now id have thought hed have been restocked, but he isnt.
craig gets paid again tomorrow and i really need to think about the next kit to order.

so i was looking online and the next one i think ill get (2 if possible) will be either BLINKIN and/or NOD.

Nod / Blinkin

 they are really economically priced right now. and worth getting if i could get them both that would be great,

they have full vinyl bodies. so they are perfect to create into dollies for little girls (/children, boys can play with dolls too!)

i went on ebay to see if anyone was selling any reborns of BLINKIN and i found these images.

BLINKIN Reborns:

yes, someone made a blinkin into a juggalo doll. lol

NOD reborns:

so theres various ways to make them both.
and different choices to chose from:
boy/boy
boy/girl or girl/boy
girl/girl
 and when i order them i have to know which will be which.

both can be the same kit, and be the gender, or they can be alternate genders

im thinking if i can get both ill have blinkin be a girl, and nod be a boy.

ARTICLE - GOOD GOLLY ITS A DOLLY

 Good golly it's a dolly

Andrew Gibson • Published 5 Oct 2011

HEADS have been turning at a children's clothes shop recently as Lolly the baby confuses visitors.

The incredibly life-like "reborn doll", in Lollipop on Kilbowie Road, has been baffling shoppers as they try and work out if it is a real baby.
Creator Shirley Cameron, of Old Kilpatrick, has now made 10 of the specialist dolls as part of a time-consuming hobby which started as a way to please her granddaughter.
Reborn dolls are created by enthusiasts who order parts online and spend meticulous sessions painting veins, rooting mohair, inserting beating fake hearts and even making them sound like they are breathing.
The dolls have featured in the news often in the UK as police have smashed in parked car windows believing the reborn dolls inside to be real babies.
Shirley, 55, says she does not go to the same lengths as others in creating her dolls as it is more of a fun hobby than an obsession.
However after creating 10 of the expensively assembled toys she has now perfected a craft which stuns those who hold the end product.
She said: "It's only a hobby - I've made a few for friends and family.
"Lolly was given to Pamela for the shop so she could dress it up and help advertise the clothes.
"They are more collector's items, they're not for young children.
"It's amazing the comments you get - teenagers were going by the shop and looking at it thinking it was real.
"You see the reaction when they come into the shop, some people hold them and other people don't like them. They say they can't look at them - they feel it's a bit too real but not real.
"It's not taken seriously, it's just a bit of fun."

SIGNED UP FOR A TUTORIAL FORUM FOR REBORNING DOLLS

i was up late last night, couldnt sleep, and i was searching for ANY info on the new BountifulBaby.com kits that are gonna be done as gorills, hoping i may have missed a pic or two here or there in a preview, and when i did i stumbled upon a site that offeres tutorials and classes, as well as contests for reborning dolls.

thats wonderful! such a cool way to dive into the craft and see what you can do.

so i introduced myself...got a bit of feedback already, a few welcomes.
i really cant wait to get started.
i just need the space and the materials and supplies and ill be good to go.

ORDERED KIRI KIT TODAY.

i was able to get KIRI, but when i went to order her, the shipping rate discount wasnt going to apply unless i bought at least 25.00 worth of merchandise.

so, i thought id go ahead and get BYRON.

wouldnt you know it?! he went out of stock on me! all this time ive sat and watched him sit there and he never budged, the second i want him, hes not available!

so, i had to scour the area for anything else that would bump the price up enough to get that discount in shipping.

i decided id get the doe suede body as well, so ill have a body for one of these 10 inch babies.

that at least gets me a body, now so i have a platform for the art to actually sit on.

step by step into making something of a business out of this art form.

IM GONNA GET KIRI THIS WEEK FOR MY NEWEST KIT

ive known a new paycheck was coming for some time.

decided the other day to do a cross research inside Bountifulbaby.com, by listing each baby by its order number, and retail value as well as the rate i can get it at.
and try to make some sort of sense out of an organized listing of these dolls.

so, as i was foing this, and finishing it up yesterday, because i knew today id get to buy another doll...
i noticed when ever craig gets paid, the former cheaper dolls, go up about 5 bucks...
and there were a ton of them that were lower than before...
but they allmost ALL had facial expressions, like crying, or they were babies that had closed eyes.

so, my heart wasnt really into getting any of them, none of them struck me as ones i absolutley HAD to have before the rate went back up again on them.

so, i gravitated towards KIRI, again. and noted she had actually, gone down in her rate from 2 weeks ago when i was wanting to get her, but put her off to get PAISLEY instead (who is now Out Of Stock).
so, im thinking ill get KIRI...which will give me 2 of the 4 ten inch babies. theres another one, but i see her even more rarely than the others that i see rarely. not sure shes ever gonna come back into market again.
but i DO have the chance to get KIRI. and i think i will.
im not to crazy about her expression tho, but, shes another doll i can practice on and work on and do, and sell..
i STILL need to get BYRON, but he seems to always be available.
maybe he wont get bumped in 2 weeks and hell be my next purchase.

so today im going to order the KIRI kit.

WALMART HAUL - NEWBORN MONKEY INSPIRED CLOTHES x 2

 i couldnt resist this set for the price!
and it is hard enough to find anything basic in monkey, but i happened to luck upon this set (pants, shirt, and onsie) in a monkey theme.
there was the cutest GIRL set as well, in the same theme, but in pink colors. so cute.

so craig agreed to get it, its 2 outfits for the price of one.
ill use the onsie as a single outfit, with some socks, and shoes.
and the shirt and the pants as an outfit as well...

and lucky for me (if they are still there  when i go back) i found MONKEY socks on the sale isle in baby size too! i hope they are still there because i intend to get several pairs each time i go to stock up on them for my dolls.

heres the pics of the outfits.

arnt they the cutest bottoms? cant you imagine seeing that on a newborns bum? lol

i was thinking one of these outfits would be the one id use on the doll i make of Daniel...
oh! and IF this set is still available in the Girl outfits (Onsie, Shirt, Pants) ill be getting that as well on my next visit to walmart!

PAISLEY KIT HAS ARRIVED

PAISLEY has arrived.
and my intention was to do a replica of my son Daniel as an infant

i had an incident when i posted this kit and the picture of my son on my facebook into a folder.
someone i dont know, im only connected to because of (ill assume) games, stole the image of my son just moments after i had posted it up in that folder on my Facebook account.

so, if you notice his forehead has some markings, on it, its because the image i now use, has watermark on it.

so, anyway, i bought that PAISLEY kit, in the hopes of making a reborn of my son Daniel as an infant.

theres another kit i saw that has a better facial expression...TORY

TORY has more the scowling forhead Daniel exibits in his baby pic. but his mouth isnt open.
PAISLEY has fuller lips than he had. and they are closed.

i REALLY think TORY is a better match for a prototype of Daniel. and eventually ill get that kit.

of course, i may decide that PAISLEY is right once i see those grey/blue yes in the head. making the head look that much more real.
