Hi Everyone, Grace here. Happy New Year!!! I wanted to talk about replicas and authentic reborns. Not to criticize or put anyone down. I am not that kind of person and I am in the same boat as you living on very low income. But I want to talk about the differences between the two. Kits and  finished baby dolls. Please don't get me wrong, I know we all would love an authentic baby doll and most of us really can't afford one. We sttle because we know that electric bill is more important. Most of us have monthly bills and food to buy, we need a roof over our head and besides those there are the unexpected expenses that always pop up, so spending this much money on a baby doll is literally out of the question. I only recently found out that I can buy kits on authentic websites like: mcpherson, irressistibles, bountiful baby, and dolls by sandy. However, only irressistibles and mcpherson allows you to buy the doll kit on layaway and pay over 3 months. That is totally doable for...

Received my new baby dolls they are so cute I am a little hesitant because with my neuropathy and spine problems it will be even more difficult to do the tiny nail details and other things. Toddlers have biggers fingers and limbs and yes I use more paint and more mohair and the bigger size glass eyes are more costly but I can work with them, the infant and newborn babies have tiny everything and my hands can not do the tiny painting any more, but I want to try because these babies are adorable. Also, because they look like they are sleeping people will not want to disturb them on outings :)

Another doll kit I am working on for the little one :) I figure might as well finish painting her while I am waiting for the nicer hair with baby curls and nice brown eyes. Naya has brown eyes and med blonde hair with little curls. Mila has green blue eyes with specks of amber in it and brown hair. I had to order the right stuff for the right dollie. From EU its very affordable, but takes almost a month to come. There is a lady on etsy with beautiful angora mohair for the dollies and she is in Bialorus.

On Jan 25 2022 I received new kits to work on, I am so excited. It's 28" Ariana, 23" SueSue and 23" Maggie :) They are so cute. Here are the pics.

Hello. Welcome. My name is Grace. I am a Freshie Reborn Baby Doll Artist. They are very realistic dolls that look like real babies. They are not toys. These dolls are collectors items. The first doll was initially created as a comfort doll, for a mother who lost a baby and it helped her cope. Even if a mom only looses a baby that she never held in her arms, it is still a terrible loss. Whether you lose a newborn or you miscarry, you still form a deep bond with your baby while feeling the kicking and the moving inside you. It is a real loss. I have always been very artistic, and ever since I saw the first realistic baby doll, I wanted to have one, but I couldn't afford it, so I decided to create my own. I am now working on my very first kit- "Maddie" and I finally realize the work, the details, the time and the materials it takes, to create these dolls, are why they cost so much. These dolls really are masterpieces. You can't possibly comprehend it, until you make...
