What is reborning?

Reborning is the art of turning a play or collector doll into an incredibly realistic heirloom one of a kind baby doll. Reborners use techniques that are similar but there are a diverse number of mediums used and techniques, each producing varied results, depending on the artist.

Sunbeam Babies Nursery, a subsidiary of Grandmother’s attic uses color from different sources (depending on the baby we are working on) in the inside of our babies to produce a soft looking baby skin with warm lifelike tones and a combination of oil paints with medium to color the outside of our babies. 

Veining and blushing further enhances the appearance of a healthy baby. Weighting the baby with poly pellets or other filling material snuggled in poly fil allows for a huggable, cuddly baby you will love to hold. 

High quality imported mohair from Australia is used to micro root the baby’s head by hand. The mohair has a longer staple and is incredibly soft and luxurious. Our babies are cherished heirlooms that can be handled, cuddled and hugged.
