Life Like Baby Doll
Realistic Baby Dolls
What is the allure of the life like baby doll?
Artists and collectors alike strive to own or to create the most realistic baby dolls possible.
Why the fascination with realism? There is something about holding a baby that is magical. From a young age little girls are often found with a prized
doll, caring for it as they would a real baby. Others take it further and begin to collect them. Each collector may have their favorite type of
doll - Barbies, Cabbage Patch Kids, Porcelain, Minis, and so on. But it seems that across the board, women love babies.
It wasn't until very recently that you could even find a doll that didn't look fake. Most dolls had straight blonde hair and big blue eyes, made of hard
vinyl and brightly colored paint on their cheeks and lips. They didn't resemble a real baby at all. They were a doll. Now enter the world of a life like baby doll.
Created by a sculptor with attention to fine details such as fingernails and ridges in the hands and feet, creases under the chin and nose, pouty lips
and realistic eyes. Then the reborner, the painter, takes over. The realistic baby doll is shaded with veining and undertones. Tiny milia and capillaries on
the noses and cheeks add definition and realism. The hair is meticulously hand rooted, strand by strand, often with painted details
interspersed with the mohair. Eyelashes also added - not the giant feathery ones often seen on store bought dolls, but tiny, wispy baby lashes.
The lifelike baby doll creates an emotional response in almost everyone. It reminds most women of being a mother, of seeing and holding and caring
for a baby. Young girls love them because they look and feel like a real baby. Children want to be gentle with them, holding them and speaking softly
around them.
Being given the gift of a life like baby doll can be very emotional. How many little girls want a realistic doll that looks like they do. The pride
on their faces when they hold a baby doll that has jet black hair and dark eyes, or dark skin like they do makes them feel special, important
and valued. How many little girls only option for a doll has only been the caucasian stereotype?
The art of reborning has elevated the life like baby doll to a new standard. One that prides itself on realism and uniqueness. No reborn doll
can be duplicated. They are all incredible, unique works of art to be valued and cherished as such.
