Dolls So Beautiful reborn forum

This forum is my home, where I can share my life, especially my love for creating reborns (that most people in my non-online life don’t understand, though some of them try). If you create reborn dollss, collect them, make clothes or other items for them, or are just curious about them, then this post is for you.

Dolls So Beautiful has been a fairly small group (in the lower hundreds in comparison to the higher hundreds or even more of big groups), but we’re ready to share with you and I think you’ll love it here. So here’s your invite:

Hope to see you there!

New website is up and running :)

Finally, I have my original website name (no .weebly or .wordpress, just the .com) back! edenslittleones.com is back up, with a new hosting site (thus the new look). I’m hoping to have this blog post to blogger and facebook automatically, but that’s work for another day. Tonight it’s time for bed for this tired artist. Goodnight my dear friends!

New plan

ok, I started the twins and then just lost interest. I think it’s because twins take so much longer and so they take a lot of patience. Also I was getting a little… not really frustrated, but just losing interest and the joy of it… because, even though they are twin sculpts, my mind sees them going in different directions and I find myself wanting to paint them differently. And so, since they are not customs and I can create them however I please, I’m going to. No longer will they be twins, but two babies, and I have no idea of the final outcome. I’m going to create the awake one first, simply because he/she is the one currently on my desk and ready for another paint wash. I’ll keep you all updated! :)

Hello 2012

Happy New Year everyone! It’s now 2012! I made 10 +? babies in 2011, which isn’t bad considering I’m working full time and have a family. I know 10 for sure, but the other two I’m not sure if I did after Christmas or right before, so it might have been 12. The first baby was too long ago to remember, but the last baby of this year was Kirabo. The first babies of this year will be tied, since I am starting a set of twins :) Pictures to come in a day or two!

New logo!

I have a new logo! I liked my old logo a lot, but it was using pictures of someone’s real babies and over time I began to want my logo to show my art. Here is my old logo:

It has stars and a moon (my previous theme), shows that I do various ethnicities of babies, and is sparkly and pretty – everything I wanted at the time. But as I’ve been growing in my art, I’ve starting wanting a logo that showed my work and is all me. However, I don’t have the skills or know-how to do that, so I only had 5 pictures and a vision in my head. In desperation I posted on Facebook and a friend hooked me up! She’s going to take a little more of the top of the blue hood on the left, but here it is:

These are all babies I have made, my art for my logo :) I love it!

Next up on the agenda is some new business cards and birth certificates using my new logo lol

Toddler is finally done!!

Here she is, my first toddler. I’m naming her Natasha, and she was just finished today. She was created from the Tibby sculpt by Donna RuBert.

In which both babies are still not ready and I fail

Well, here it is December and neither of the babies are ready yet. So much for having them ready by the 1st of the month. Kirabo is finally rooted, but it will take the rest of the week to get the other layers of glue and dried in between, so she won’t be ready to be adopted until right before Christmas. And the toddler is still being painted (working on her more today), finding it difficult to find just the right tones for her. On the other hand, there are several products in my store now :) Lots more coming when I get some inspiration. If you have any ideas, leave me a comment and I’ll make it. http://www.zazzle.com/edenslittleones

 

 

Bumperstickers are awesome!

Blogging is not my art

I don’t blog every day or even every week, so it’s understandable that my readers aren’t perched on the edge of their seat, awaiting my next post. But lately I’ve been reading a few blogs and, while some I don’t even make it through a single post before nodding off, some are very witty and cute and fabulous, each in their own way. And after reading a few posts from these blogs, my brain begins to think that it, too, can do posts that are lol funny or amazingly wonderful. br /br /The problem is…it’s an illusion. An in-my-head show of words and lights and ideas that never sound the same once written down. And so, though I may blog more often for a while, don’t expect greatness from this blog, only the mediocre ramblings of a reborn artist.
