  • I am confused. So do you paint your reborn then do mottling then veins and then repeat? And if so how many times do you repeat? also I have heard you have to paint it blue from the inside is this true?

  • @mad74mad - yes, you do flesh coats, then mottling and veining etc...repeating is only if you want to add more mottling. Internal washes are not recommended as they can bleed out over time.

  • If I have an ashton drake doll (non reborned) could I send it to you to be reborned and what would the cost be?

  • @mad74mad - Sorry but I don't do repairs / restorations.

  • Is there a final coat that you put on the baby to protect it when you are finished? I noticed there is a product for sale out there to prevent shine so it doesn't look fake. Do you recommend using this?

  • @Sfischhaber - Yes I seal my dolls with a layer of Real Effects air dry matte lack. If your using heat set paints you can use the heat set matte varnish to prevent shine.

  • Loved the tutorial, thanks for sharing it with all us reborners! :)

  • what kit that..i think i might want to make a little ethnic baby boy with that kit :)

  • Hi! Umm, i was wondering after you appy the mottling layer, do you pounce over the vinyl with a wedge/cosmetic wedge so it will soften the look or do you just let it dry without pouncing? :)
