Weighing 5lbs

20” long

There are lots of pictures to load, please be patient. Thank you.

Abby has a magnet for her pacifier, these are super strong magnets and care must be taken around pacemakers, computers and credit cards.

I enjoyed making her into a realistic reborn!

Just in time for Easter we have Abby up for adoption.

This beautiful baby girl has been created from the adorable ‘Phyllis Jean’ kit by the very talented doll artist Lisa Gregg. This kit is RDK Limited Edition #176 of 300 worldwide and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity .

I took all Abby’s pictures in natural daylight over several days. I took many pictures; only using the ones that made her look true to what she really looks like. The photos have not been enhanced in any way. I did resize to fit for the template, and add my nursery name. I have also added a few black and white because I think she looks beautiful in them!

At A Glance

~ Deep blue eyes

~ Hand painted with ‘Bloomers ‘n’ Bows’ non-heat set paints

~ Body weighted with non-allergenic ‘Eversoft’ polyester stuffing, glass beads, and poly pellets

~ Baby manicure and pedicure

~ Soft, hand-rooted dark brown straight mohair

~ Custom-made doe suede jointed body that is fully poseable

~ ¾ limbs weighted with ‘Eversoft’ polyester stuffing and small glass beads

~Delicate veins

I have used soft, straight dark brown mohair and have hand-rooted her hair one to two hairs at a time. This took several days, but was well worth it. I have left it a little longer and fuller as she is a little older. I have sealed the inside of the hair with waterproof glue so you can gently dampen and style it to your liking. I have painted light eyebrows to match her hair.

Abby’s lips have been painted in a realistic lip shade and have been glossed for a new baby look. Her pretty blue eyes and the inside of her nose have also been glossed for a wet look.

Abby’s nose is painted for depth and realism. I do not drill holes into the vinyl for the same reason I do not heat it up. This way, if she is being taken good care of, she will be a great collectable for many years.

I have given Abby has delicate wispy baby brown upper eyelashes and hand painted lower lashes that match her hair. She has her own look and you will be drawn to her dark beauty.

I have taken great care in creating realistic details. I have added layers and layers of paint, letting them cure for hours before moving on to the next layer. The paints dry fast and once dry, they are set. A quick hand is needed. I have been painting for many, many years and so I make sure that each reborn I do is up to my perfectionist standard the first time. I will not put a reborn baby up unless it meets these standards, and I myself love it.

Abby’s legs, arms and head have been blushed and highlighted with many layers of non-heat setting paints and sealed with a matt sealer. I use my own blend of colours to achieve a true to life baby skin tone on every one of my babies, which makes them truly unique and an OOAK. I then gave Abby a blotchy mottled look to her skin. Abby represents a 5 to 6 month old baby so she can sit up all by herself. She has rosy cheeks and looks a little cranky because she is teething. I use ‘Bloomers ‘n’ Bows’ air-dry paints specifically for vinyl. These paints are permanent, non-toxic and since there is no heating, the integrity of the vinyl is not compromised.

I loved reborning Abby as she is wonderful to pose and so cuddly. Please be gentle and always lift her by her body and not by her arms or leg as this may cause damage to her joints.

Abby’s doe-suede body has been weighted with ‘Eversoft’ polyester stuffing, poly pellets, and glass beads. She is evenly weighted and is fully poseable.

Abby has a booboo on her left knee from her first attempt at crawling.

I have blushed and highlighted every crease on this special little girl. I have given Abby delicate veins in all the right places.

Abby’s nails have been painted a natural nail color with off-white tips. They have been sealed with a semi-gloss.

Abby’s limbs have been weighted with tiny glass beads and ‘Eversoft’ polyester stuffing. I then seal the limbs.

Abby can hold her head up and sit like a big girl. You will have fun buying her clothes as she can wear 0-3 months quite well.

You will fall in love with Abby the moment you hold her in your arms! I know I did!

About The Paints

We bring our babies to life with specially mixed Air-Dry Vinyl Doll Paints from 'Bloomers 'n' Bows' ['BLOOMIN' BABY TONES REBORNING PAINT COLOR BLENDS].These paints are made for painting and blushing on the babies to give the most realistic features and skin tones possible for our reborns. The paint is set in 24 hours and they do not require us to bake the vinyl. The technique is the same as with heat set paints but do not require the use of an oven. We prefer using the premixed paints along with our own blend of colour tones to add each layer to give depth and realism to our babies’ skin. We believe the final product is beautiful, life-like and as permanent as painting on vinyl can be. The final step is to seal the paint with Air Dry Pure MATTE Top Coat Sealer by 'Bloomers 'n' Bows'. This baby is an heirloom quality doll to love and treasure for many, many years.
