Reborn and Newborn Baby Doll - Where Do I Start?
Reborn or newborn baby dolls (these terms can be used interchangeably and refer to the same type of dolls) are a specific type of plastic baby dolls that are specially crafted to look just like real babies. This crafting is done by artists that are referred to as "reborners". If you've done some research into newborn dolls, and have come to appreciate their amazing craftsmanship, you may have started to wonder if you could become a reborn collector or possibly even a reborner yourself. This brief article is designed to give you some ideas on places to look, and resources you could use to get into these hobbies yourself.
The first, and perhaps the most obvious reborn doll hobby is to become a reborner yourself! This craft is certainly not for those faint of heart. However, if you've got the interest, and determination to hone this unique skill, then the challenge of reborning can give you many rewarding hours of enjoyment. There aren't many joys that can match the sense of accomplishment and pride you'll feel after completing you're very own newborn.
Even if you don't think you're ready to start making your own newborn baby dolls from scratch, you have the option of buying a reborn kit. These kits can be bought from individual reborn artists websites, sites that sell reborn supplies, or even Ebay. I have seen some complete kits, that include everything you need to make a reborn, selling for less than $50! If you are an aspiring reborner, why not research some of these kits?
But what if you really enjoy reborns, but don't feel that you have the ability, desire, etc. to become a reborner? Then you could start collecting reborns! A lot of people find collecting newborn dolls to be just as satisfying as making them. There are quite a few Internet sites devoted to reborn doll collecting. All you have to do is use a search engine like Google to find them.
But what if you don't have the resources at this time to become a reborner, or reborn collector? You can still become a reborn enthusiast or expert. Newborn baby dolls are still a fairly new hobby, and there are a lot of people who haven't heard of them. Why not share your love of this craft with others? Tell them where they can find out more about this great hobby. One of the things that makes reborning so enjoyable is the close knit community it has. You can become a valuable part of that community!
I hope this article has given you some good ideas about how you can become part of the wonderful community of reborn enthusiasts!(EzineArticles.com)
