Reborn ing My first foray into a new artistic outlet

Before I forget, the day before all the hospital excitement, I started reborning my first two dolls. They are twins, one is a girl the other a boy. I wanted to try my hand at making them. I have watched several videos on Utube by different artists . Plus I watched the training video that came with the starter kit. They also sent a paint by number? booklet with lots of step by step photos.
So far so good. I have done their veining and first layer of skin. 
The next step witll be their blush tone, lips,fingernails, and eyelids.

two dolls laid out one is Aspen and the other is Lief, they were molded from three D scans of live babies, by Bountiful Babies. They are one of the biggest suppliers of the vinyl kits. They just happen to be in Utah.


This is my newest little guy. I love his painted hair. I need to take some more pictures of him. The artist who made him did a beautiful job.
