I hope it's okay I share this link here:

This is one of the "reborn" babies I have made for Christmas.

Wow Mesa. That wee babe looks pretty real! I bet you have put loads of hours into that creation! My mom and sister are really into dollmaking.

Does look real and feels real too! It's a new hobby I have found, takes a couple days to get done except for the rooted hair. The hair took me what seemed like ages!!! Of course I could only work on it a little at a time in my spare time. But, I think even if I had sat and worked non-stop it would have taken days.

Boy that is so real looking, u did a fantastic job on that Mesa, it is really excellent

Awwwwww........too cute......u r a talented person, Mesa!

thats cool

how do you do them?

Thanks!

WOB, you're not asking me to give away my secrets are you?

yeah, i admit...i was gonna try to steal your market

hehe...i just read the description...i thought it said the baby had a mohawk...i was like...'ooo..punk baby'...hehehehe

Wow, that's awesome. I can't believe you made it.

Do they usually sell for that much? $200... wow.

Yeah, sometimes I do that well and sometimes they don't sell for much more than $50.00. Here's another...this little boy loves his Tigger!

Yippee! I'm getting Christmas money to spend.

Those are truly adorable!

An excellent job on these little dolls and surely worthy of a reasonable bid on eBay, Mesa.

Mesa! How adorable! How much do they (estimate) cost to make?

Thanks! Well, my tigger loving one cost $97.00; that's buying the doll and all the supplies. Then I add on labor(it took forever to do his hair!!) and ebay and paypal costs. I started my next Christmas one at only $1.00 just to see how well it would do...

Really the price varies depending on what all you add to it. The dolls themselves run $40-$50. Depending what kind of outfit I use $10-$20. The supplies to reborn it(give it realistic color, stuff and weight, hair, eyelashes) only run about $20. Now that's with a wig, if I buy mohair to root that runs close to $20. The hand-rooted mohair is best because it looks and feels so real!!

Why are people calling HauntedbyAngels "Mesa"? that's not Mesa.

Ssshhhhh! It's a big secret but I was formerly known as Mesa. SSSssshhhhh!

ooh? *shuts up*
Your new name also sounds oddly familiar to me as well...
like from another board, no?

I haven't been on another board....maybe I accidently stole someone's userid....sorry!
