The creative process begins with that most ordinary of items: a vinyl play doll, available anywhere. But when it’s made over with a touch of color and other embellishments, it becomes a realistic-looking display piece—a work of art that often resembles a real baby and may even remind the creator of her own child, niece, nephew, or grandchild.
• The craft has become a hot new thing, and here’s the secret of designing these “reborn dolls.” It covers all the steps, from preparing the base doll to coloring, from adding eyes and hair to producing various types of cloth bodies and accessories from the included patterns. Inspiration comes from the numerous examples of finished dolls, created by both the author and other artists.
"EXCELLENT - the definitive starter guide for reborning!
• Let me set the scene - I am an experienced crafter and artist, and very very new to reborning - it's my latest challenge - so I do know some stuff about art and crafts. That said, I needed a book to show me the path to reborning and all that it offered, and this book is nothing short of SUPERB.
• It addresses the experienced as well as the new crafter, and in step-by step clearly illustrated instructions, it takes you through the process of taking a kit or vynil doll, and making it into the reborn you want it to be. Paint techniques are introduced and expanded on, re-rooting techniques are demonstrated, and there is a lovely gallery to show you what you really can create.
• Unlike other books on the market, this book does not tie itself to a brand name or specific named kit, but gives you choices to work with, ideal if you are on a budget or already have similar items in the house.
• The instructions are clear, concise, and neither talk down to you nor assume you are a master craftswoman, and manage to walk you through the process giving handy tips along the way for better and faster results. By the end of the book, you will have a clear idea of what you need to do to reborn a doll (any doll) and the tools and skills you will need, which makes this the BEST book I have found on the subject. I have done another review on another book and a set of paints, so take a look at those for my opinions before you start!"
