No snow here yet, but here are a few pictures from this this time of year several years ago on a trip to Switzerland.

Thank you, Alisande! I buy them as blank kits which include the head, arms and legs. Then they are painted with heat set paints in the oven. Eyes are added if they are open eyed babies, or just eyelashes if they are sleeping. Next, the hair is applied with a needle and sealed on the inside. The limbs and head are weighted with glass beads for weight. And last, a soft body is weighted with glass beads and fiberfil.That's pretty much it in a nutshell. It takes me a few weeks to finish one. There are a lot of them on eBay if you want to look. Just type in Reborn doll or Reborn baby in the search engine. There's all kinds...from really well done to not so well done. lol Here is a picture of one of the heads without paint..they're just plain one color and don't come 'alive' until they are painted.

Wow Casey those 2 are spectacular I especially love the 2nd one, you can almost smell the woods and the moisture in the air. True works of art . Annie what a beautiful sky ! I can almost see a face and neck and some wild explosive hair lol.

Jim I can almost smell it! One of my favorite scents.
