A little about me

Hi,
I'm Teresa, a grandmother of 12 myself and that keeps me busy! I also create reborn baby dolls that are dolls/doll kits that are transformed into a most realistic looking art treasure. It is an actual art form and one baby takes me about 2 weeks to finish. Each one is a one of a kind. I use Genesis Heat Set paints which is cured in an oven. Yes! I cook my babies several times throughout the process! I usually add about 7 or 8 very thin layers of paint. I add veins and birthmarks and all the little newborn blotches throughout the body. The hair is done using a felting needle and Angora mohair. Very Very time consuming but worth every minute. The hair actually looks like it is growing out of the scalp! I'll post pictures soon so you can see how cute they are.
