I make them and they are truely loveable and realistic. I wrote once but I hadn't signed in so if this goes twice sorry. I sell mine for $00. for the doll and $500. for one of my ready to gift or diplay kits. I love in Maine and the market isn't that great around here. My web site has helped. www.judymae7.com I love doing the tiny little details that make these babies so life like. They can take me up to a week to complete. I love just doing a baby but have done look a likes. I did my daughter and they are 32 and 33 they said it was a little strange because they new the second they saw them who they were. I love taking them out and watching the people no one has ever thought they were dolls always a baby. Here is a link that might be useful: Make Me A Blessing Reborn Babies

Thank you! Joan, yes, it is an expensive hobby to get into and even with practice it can take a few weeks to make one. It really depends on how many hours you work on it at a time. Last night I spent about three hours rooting a portion of a doll head, and I only got less than a third of it finished. And once finished, I cross my fingers and hope I can sell it at a price to recoup what I've put into it, and hopefully the time spent working on it. Then, THAT money goes right back into the hobby buying more kits and supplies. It's a never ending circle. But I like making them and seeing the end results.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing!

"dianamo, your dolls are amazing. I once watched a documentary about dolls. A grandmother so grieved the loss of her grandson after the divorce of her son and daughter-in-law, the mother taking the child miles out of state, that she commissioned a doll in the exact likeness of her grandson. That way she could still have him with her. I wasn't sure what to make of it, except to each his own. If it makes her happy, I can't seem the harm. " I saw that documentary, too. Through the grapevine on a doll board I belong to, I have heard that the lady in that documentary now makes reborn dolls herself. And is very good at it! And the young girl that made the doll to look like that womans grandson got a lot of orders for dolls that she wasn't able to fullfil. She ended up going bankrupt and still owes a lot of money people put as downpayments on dolls she promised to make.
