Technique

With 30 years of experience as a portrait artist,
I take great care in creating natural skin effects with flesh-like depth,
 fine veining and often include age-appropriate imperfections for every Little Chick.

Genesis

I prefer Genesis heat-set paints and mediums and use them exclusively for reborning.
When applied, cured and cared for correctly, they protect your investment and  
last for generations,

Sealing

Little Chicks have shaded interior nostrils giving them depth and realism.  
In order to keep the integrity of both vinyl and coloring intact and
sealed from external contaminants, I no longer “open” nostrils or create
any effects with colored material or paints permanently placed inside your baby.
Openings for glass eyes and rooted hair are sealed and secured from the inside
with clear sealing adhesive only.

Weighting

For the ultimate reborn experience,  
your little chick has been expertly weighted
with a combination of fine glass beads, elastomer granules for baby fat
and cuddly poly-fiber filling.
Proper weighting and stuffing creates natural movement and unlimited posing.
Infants \"settle\" gently into your arms while larger babies and toddlers
may hold can hold up their own heads to look around.
Propper weighting helps your babies appear alive to others
while held in your arms.
 additional poly-fiber may be requested prior to shipping.
 

Magnetics

Little Chicks often come with strong magnets hidden within their mouths
to accept pacifiers or hair bows for painted-hair babies.
 Care should be taken around computers and pacemakers.
 If your baby has magnetics you would like removed, please contact me prior to shipping.
 

Photography

Each Little Chick is photographed in a way to
best represent his or her true appearance.
Computer monitor\'s vary, however,
making photographic hue and saturation discrepancies possible.
Because of this,
I reach into at least one frame so you\'ll have relative human comparison.

About The Artist

As a professional artist, for 30 years I\'d been blessed with a full and successful career in
Fine Art, Portraiture and Photography.
 Then, in the spring of 2011 while wandering around , I stumbled across Reborn Dolls
and became helplessly glued to my computer monitor.
 After a few days straight of eating cold sandwiches for dinner
and seeing nothing but the back of my head surrounded by the blue glow of the computer,
my husband finally asked “so . . . . . what are you doing?”  The answer was simple.
 I was becoming a doll maker!  
Since shifting my artistic focus to reborning,
 I have never been happier nor more fulfilled.
 As a fine artist, I\'ve had one-woman exhibitions in museums and galleries alike,
and been featured in magazines as well.
Yet in all those years, I\'d always felt the gift God chose for me a frivolous one,
without meaningful value . . . .  until now.
As with fine art, it\'s wonderful to sell to collectors, however when one of my babies
ends up filling the empty arms of a Mommy who has suffered a loss
or who\'s own babies have grown, I am profoundly grateful.  
Grateful to have found a focus in my career which brings comfort and happiness to others
and grateful for a husband who\'s own value system enables him to understand and appreciate
the importance of being a “doll maker”.
