Anyone know about reborning dolls?
I asked this once earlier, but only got one answer… Over the past couple months I have become increasingly interested in roborn dolls, and learning to make them myself. I’ve found a couple tutorials online, but I would love to know how other artists do it. I admit, I’m slightly confused by the purple wash thing. Do I dye it? Or paint it, and if I paint it do I paint inside or out? Which method works better? If you have any examples of your work, so I can see how the techniques differ, I’d really appreciate it. Please email me, The link thing is in my profile. I’m hoping to avoid the ‘dead/bruised’ baby look. Also, I like the idea of rooting the hair as opposed to a wig, but I hate the look of mohair. It looks frizzy and just plain odd, in my opinion. Is there some rule about not using human hair? Or is it more a cost thing ?(having gone to cosmetology school I know how pricey a human hair track can be) Any info or tips would be much appreciated! Thanks to all the genuine answers.
