About CreationsByJeannine™

The Excellence in Reborn Artistry™ Series

In 2002, I purchased a set of reborning instructions on eBay for $15. It was a two page bullet point sheet with no pictures and very few basic details, but it did not discourage me from Learning the Art. Much of my experience has been through research and trials, and since I was somewhat crafty and a professional workshop leader, I set out to create a better set of instructions for the reborning public.

I often get questions like “Isn’t there a book that just provides me everything?” There are so many options and painting mediums, as well as types of vinyl and silicone vinyl dolls, that there is not just one book that provides you all the information.

However, I have published The BEST OF SERIES, which contains the best content of 8 of my reborning specialty books and 8 Soft Body dolls and doll kit patterns in one large book. It features lifelike doll making instructions and techniques for Reborns and Doll Kits.
The Ultimate Collection of eBooks on CD is also available and includes most of the Excellence in Reborn Artistry™ materials I have written. Find all our books, ebooks and movies on CD at www.lulu.com/jeannine .

INTRODUCTION TO REBORN DOLLS

What is Reborning? Simply stated, it is taking an existing play doll (unlimited number available) or collector doll (in a limited or extended series), and using your creative ability, reborn the original vinyl doll into a lifelike looking preemie, infant or toddler.
Some call it Doll Makeovers, others call it Doll Enhancements, but if you apply enough artistic effort when reborning the doll, you can transform it into a ONE OF A KIND (OOAK) Heirloom Collectible.

Anyone can apply the techniques to do this art form. All it takes is time and effort to create each and every realistic detail you desire to reborn into the doll. In this introductory book, you should have enough information to create a lovely peaches and creams collectible doll. I continue to feature the Dolls By Berenguer™ line of dolls in this book, although there are now lots of new & expensive doll kits available. However, these Dolls by Berenguer™ still seem to be the most popular and least expensive dolls to reborn.

There are so many options to discuss and many more alternatives available, which is why I created the Excellence in Reborn Artistry™ Series of books, case studies, and visual instructions. These reborning aids are here to help the Beginning Artist and Reborn Hobbyist along through their journey. Please stop by www.lulu.com/jeannine to see what I’m up to next.

Enjoy the Art! Jeannine
