Playborn - a different kind of reborn

It was while I was at DEDS that I came across this little kit, it is called a playborn. This kit is sold by MacPherson Arts and Crafts. The have teamed up with a doll company in Spain, the company has take the vinyl body off and created the channels we use to attach the limbs to the cloth body so that you can make a reborn for a younger girl. I was looking for kits with more of an African facial structure and this kit fit the bill. I was not 100% thrilled with the built in curls but since I have to learn to root maybe not such a bad thing after all :-)

Here are the mottling and color washes along with some layers of color. 

Here is a close up of his face, he is gorgeous!!! He has the sweetest lips and eyes!!!!

A closer look at his limbs!!!

My famous wooly blanket body, it really does make a lovely body to see how the baby is going to turn out, I am loving him so far.

Love his little tilted head :-)

All dressed in an outfit that suits him so very well!!!!

 A magnet has been added so he can take a magnetic pacifier, I love how this one fits his mouth.

Here is a look at the built in curly hair, it did not turn out too bad but I must learn to root so I can give them heads full of lovely hair, maybe my next baby...

Lovely little legs, I have you have enjoyed watching this little playborn come to life. 

This baby has been adopted and resides in a private collection.
