Post your first reborn...

Post by Sandis Doll House »

I was going through some old pictures and came across two of my first reborn dolls. I still have them although they now have the dented heads like most older dolls have. Please share what dolls made you go dolly crazy.

First is the doll that started it off. He is John Boneham that was reborn by Rosie (Rosekins).
Image

I wish I still had this outfit I made him. I don't think I own one creation I ever made. :(
Image


Next is another Boneham doll I names Noah. I created him and quickly found I was much better at sewing that at being a reborn artist!

Image

Another outfit I made that got away from me that Noah is wearing. :banghead:

Image My first purchased reborn was Tanner. I was over the moon with this little fellow. I no longer have him. He is the one on the left in the snowman's hat. The one on the right was made by Sherry in Florida. I call her Kennedy.

I don't know Sandi...I think your Noah is darn right cute! He is realistic to me.

Well, if you are talking about the first reborn that we bought for our collection, mine would be Mary Kay (An Ashton Drake doll reborned with a wig) created by Auntie Dawn (who is now Delta Dawn's mohair). I could hardly breathe waiting for her to arrive!

Image

By then, in my collection, I had several manufactured dolls and quite possibly some dolls that I either reborned or customized, like the infamous Michael. (Michael the Little Slugger by Ashton Drake. I changed his hair, body and lashes)

Image

I later got another Auntie Dawn baby...I believe this one to be the last one that she did, or at least the last one she sold on eBay. She is a prototype of a Doll Dreams sculpt, but I can't remember what the sculpt was and I'm too lazy to go look :D I call her Marquelle:

Image

Mary Kay was delighted to have an Auntie Dawn sister:

135 dolls later.... :heart: :heart:

My first reborn was Emily. I could not believe how realistic this baby was when I saw her on ebay.

Thank ya girl for that compliment. That means a lot coming from you as you are a master at reborn dolls. I also did the biracial Boneham girl. I'll have to find pictures of her.

Hi Deb! My one and only reborn so far is the same sculpt, don't you just love her? I have had my Susannah Claire for 2 years now and I love her to bits.

I don't have the dolly dollars to get another baby right now, but my dream baby is Eveline by Adrie Stoete. I hope to bring one home someday.

Hmmmmmm??? I collected only silicones for quite awhile and I don't remember which baby was my very first. I am sure that I don't have most of my original reborns. Michael and Pookie are the oldest ones that I currently have.

Funny Michael by Bonnie Chyle

Pooky by Petra Seiffert

Debbie, every time that I see your Darling Michael, I think of your funny stories from the good old days. I LOVED those! You have made me laugh so many times. :hug:

:foryou: Hugs, Dion
