Ethnic Reborn Dolls

Ethnic Reborn Dolls

Ethnic reborn dolls are rare and difficult to find, yet fill a huge need for worldwide doll collectors who seek unique cultural reborn dolls.My first custom order was from a customer who saw a baby girl I had made with a Hispanic or biracial skin tone. The customer had been looking for an awake African-American baby girl with a full head of hair. I started to mix the custom paint colors for the baby and realized all the hues and tones that I could make with different shades of brown. I wanted to make a reborn ethnic baby with every one of those shades! I found just the right tone for the custom baby and began to paint. It was so wonderful - the smoothness of the color and the sweet soft glow of the skin. I have been hooked ever since! When creating any ethnic baby, there are many layers and many shades - undertones and overtones, creases, shading, detailing, lips, blushing, and more. The skin should be smooth, like melted chocolate, not blotchy (like Caucasian babies). While the appearance is smooth, there are many tiny details (around the nails, veins, depth perception, and much more) that add to the over-all realistic look of the reborn. Very few artists make these sweet babies - the majority of reborns are Caucasian. There are not very many African-American babies and many are not correctly done or are of a very light shade. Hispanic, Native American, Asian, and Indian babies are extremely rare.reborns are Caucasian. There are not very many African-American babies and many are not very lifelike or realistic. Hispanic, Native American, Asian, Indian, and other ethnic babies are extremely rare. The world is a large melting pot of cultures and appearances - the reborn world has some catching up to do to meet the needs of so many people. Ethnic babies are my favorite to create because there are so many different colors and variations, like a beautiful field of flowers!Sabriam Eden's Little Ones nursery www.edenslittleones.com
