Hand painted vinyl dolls that looks, feels and smell like a real baby.

As the doll is painted with layers of paint so my life was painted with His Precious Blood. He has removed my heart of stone and placed in me a heart of flesh. A reborn doll is a manufactured vinyl play doll that has been transformed in order to achieve as much realism as possible in order to resemble a human baby. The process of creating a reborn doll is referred to as reborning, and the doll artists are referred to as reborners. To make a reborn doll every aspect must be considered to make the baby doll look and feel realistic. Each baby doll is different and has his or her own unique little features and characters. Reborn doll kits are made from very soft vinyl and consist of a head, arms and legs. The most basic form of the process involves taking a vinyl doll, adding multiple layers of paint, to give the doll a skin tone appearance. The doll parts needs to be baked to have the paint set. The hair and eyelashes are hand micro rooted with real angora Mohair, one hair at a time using a special felting needle. You can have sleeping dolls (dolls with closed eyes) or you could have open eye baby doll. A suede body is used, which is stuffed and weighted to feel like you are holding a real newborn baby. The weight corresponds with the age of a real baby to achieve a real effect. This picture shows the kit before the reborn process, and after the reborn process. Psychiatrist Gail Saltz with New York Presbyterian Hospital, supports the use of reborns for people who do not want to make the commitment of having a real child, and also to comfort bereaved parents. She offers that in this case the reborn may symbolize a step in the grieving process. Concern should only come if someone who lost a baby grows too attached to their reborn because it could indicate their grief is not getting resolved. In this case, the likeness of the doll to the deceased child risks being harmful as a permanent replacement for the grieving parents. Ian James, a doctor at the Centre for the Health of the Elderly at Newcastle General Hospital in the U.K., said that holding the dolls helps calm elderly residents, helping them feel peaceful and quiet.
