Painting Service Unlikely To Continue!

Hello All,

Since the announcement of the painting service hold, I’ve received numerous questions about whether or not the waiting list will reopen. Honestly, it doesn’t look good. I'm still working on a new painting setup to avoid inhaling the harmful fumes, and it's proving to be costly and confusing right now. Changing a three year-old setup is difficult. Thank goodness for the staff of Simply Reborn Dolls for informing reborn artists.

Over the next few weeks, I will be moving furniture and boxes filled with reborning supplies. I am planning to conduct several tests using a turkey roaster, and I do not feel comfortable using kits that do not belong to me as guinea pigs.

Painting Service On Hold!

Hello All,

Due to the realization that heated vinyl fumes are hazardous to my health, I am placing the painting service on hold.  I will update everyone should I decide to take painting orders in the future.  While I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, I’m sure we all agree that health and safety comes first. 

My fellow reborn artists, I urge you to take heed of this most serious development.  I plan to go above and beyond to alter my reborning environment, and I encourage everyone to do the same.  This matter should not be taken lightly.

NEW Doll Kit DAXTON by Sandy Faber!

One of my dreams has finally come true!  :)  I’ve always wanted a reborn kit by the super talented Sandy Faber and guess what?  I’m getting one!  Sandy’s chubby babies always make me smile, and Daxton is no exception.  Daxton will make the PERFECT ethnic reborn, I guarantee.

I am planning to preorder little Daxton tonight after my daughter goes to bed.  Nine o’clock can’t come soon enough for me.  lol

Sandy says she is planning to release more kits in the future.  I hope there is an Asian kit planned.  Fingers crossed!

New Doll Kit by Gudrun Legler coming soon!

Monday, January 26, 2009

Omigosh! What a darling face. Baby Nina is an upcoming doll kit by artist Gudrun Legler. Gudrun is one of my top 10 favorite sculptors! She also sculpted the popular Nils and Pauline kits for Nicky Creation. Isn’t Nina adorable? I think she and Nils will make great twins.

Gudrun posted that she had a few problems with Nina's mold and that she'll have the prototypes soon. I can't wait for this one. She is a must have for me!

DOLLS Magazine article!

Hello Friends!  

I am pleased to announce that my babies and I are featured in the February 2009 issue of DOLLS magazine!  

I love the way the article turned out. The writer of the article is Debbie Behan Garrett. She is the author of Black Dolls, A Comprehensive Guide to Celebrating, Collecting, and Experiencing the Passion. I think Debbie and DOLLS magazine did an excellent job producing the article.

Soft Vinyl Middleton Reborn Doll Kits!

I signed on this afternoon and much to my surprise, Middleton Doll Company is now offering soft vinyl kits for reborn artists! I can’t wait to get my hands on these two kits. The Joyful Heart sculpt is one of my favorite sculpts by Reva Schick, and Eva Helland’s new Asian sculpt is to die for!

I am so excited, if you can’t already tell. I just may have to come out of retirement to offer these two reborned kits for sale. We’ll see. *wink wink*

Happy Early Birthday To Me!

Okay, I know I have a camera buying problem and I'm dealing with it as best I can. hehe But while I sort out my issues, I need a new toy to play with! :) I am using my upcoming birthday as an excuse.

I purchased a Canon EOS 20D for a fantastic price on eBay! It's a used camera, but the seller has sparkling feedback, and he seems to be honest and trustworthy. I've wanted a 20D for a long time, so naturally, I can't wait to try it out.

Happy 26th Birthday to me!
