And the winner is. . .

This boy’s been named & he’s heading home! To his new Momma, Felicia, in the States!

This milestone, hitting 1000 FB fans & giving away my first (hopefully of many) free babies, was a long time coming & a huge goal met! Incidentally, as I also number all my birth certificates, I knew that this baby was also my 75th to head to their forever home! 75 babies, in a year, with 1000 fans. This of course doesn’t include any of the babies I decided to keep (ahem, Peep, and Nico, and my Meekly’s Nima) or any in the queue or in layaway, but is still a huuuuuge feat too! And I’m humbled & honoured to have had such an impact in such a short time. I certainly didn’t dream I could have made 75 dolls in a year. Though I am a bit obsessive with my work. I love to be productive and set (mostly un)realistic goals for myself. But still.

Which brings me to this… another giveaway. Back to the regulars until the next big FB fan breakthrough. πŸ˜€

To ebay or not to ebay. . .

Despite a successful ebay auction (a first, believe it or not; ebay and I aren’t on good terms) of my original Quinlynn Eagles, I feel torn about continuing my auctions vs custom orders.

I personally LOOOOOVE custom orders. For so soooo many reasons. But first, because I love variety in my art. If I were creating solely, all my babies would end up with painted hair or combi. Because it’s just what I love. I looove the challenge of custom orders. I love the end product always being unique, the clients’ vision actualized. I love how it always forces me to pace myself faster than I ordinarily would (also because I don’t delay wondering what to do with hair or eyes). I also LOVE already having a Momma (or Dadda) for my babies. It saves me becoming attached and wanting to hold onto EVERY one! I have about 10 sculpts currently that I cannot even begin to start for fear I’ll keep them. Paige was one of these babies, and she went home last week. Knowing she was officially sold out and I’d never reborn another (let alone keep one). And I loved her JUST as much as I anticipated I would. However, because I waited until she had a Momma, I didn’t get attached and I loved sending her off. Knowing she was already a loved and cherished family member elsewhere was just AWESOME! I also think because I started as a custom portrait artist, it just made sense to continue this in my reborn work. I love working for my customers. And the feedback along the way.

So… to ebay or not to ebay?

I currently have 3 limited edition, sold out, and extremely rare sculpts in my possession that I want to sell, but am afraid I’ll want to keep. So… in case you’ve been looking for one of these, and would love a custom baby created exactly as you want him or her, here’s your chance to secure one! Until I change my mind, I’ve listed my last Quinlynn Eagles, Esme Eagles, and Lilian Legler (I am seriously holding my breath as I type this – oh how I adore Lilian! I’m so sorry, baby, I secured a Linus though and I swore I’d only keep one of you!!)



Check ’em out, before I change my mind! LOLZ!!! πŸ˜€

Sold Out Quinlynn by Laura Lee Eagles | Available Now

To view more of her pictures & information, you can check out my ebay auction! Live for 3 1/2 more days!! πŸ˜€ She has a low reserve, BIN price & I am entertaining private offers as well! πŸ˜€


 

Valentina Rose is #308 of 800 in the LE SOLD OUT Quinlynn by the very talented Laura Lee Eagles! She has been meticulously painted using Genesis Heat Set paints – custom mixed for a completely unique skin tone, complete with blue and yellow undertones, and over five layers of mottling for ultra realism. Her capillaries and blushing is blended well with tiny milia on her button nose.

Her skin has been sealed with matte varnish to keep her shine free permenantly and dewy skin finish was used to create realistic, still soft to the touch, newborn skin texture. Shine was added to the corners of her eyes, lips and nostrils. Baby Valentina’s hair was micro painted one folicle at a time using two tones for dimension and textured to feel like real hair using thick medium & look alive premium thinner that adds gloss to each strand – the effect being an ultra realistic head of painted hair that will always look and feel perfect! She was also fully micro rooted throughout her head, using two tones of Yearling Slumberland mohair – medium brown & deep dark brown. Combi is my specialty, and Valentina’s head is my new crowning achievement. The effect is a truly realistic head of newborn hair that looks and feels realistic – no styling required! She has also been magnetized for her headbows (she’s going home with two of them!) set perfectly to sit where her hair naturally collects (like the bow is actually IN her hair).

Valentina’s body is the custom doe suede body by Laura. She has full arms and full legs, perfect for tank top onesies, or diapers and her belly plate (for posing!) Her limbs and head have been sealed and weighted. Her body is weighted in all the right places to give her an authentic newborn feel (perfect for cuddles). Limbs have been filled with glass beads and polyfil, with glass beads in a sealed sac in her torso and head (so nothing will leak). No sand is in her body so she can travel worldwide!

Her hair and eyelashes are all slumberland mohair (best of its kind) & have been rooted & sealed so they’ll never fall out and can be washed and styled gently with a soft brush.

Valentina comes with a birth certificate (customized! You can change her name to whatever you like & pick her birth details) and her signed certificate of authenticity by Laura Lee Eagles.

from this…. to this…

aValentina’s hair is micro painted & micro rooted for a full combi look that looks and feels perfect with no styling required (unless you want to!) For me, there is nothing more realistic than a beautiful head of hair on a reborn, except I hate matted hair. Combi hair never mats. Full combi gives all the joy of hair and realism, with no maintenance. There are no plugs, and hair has been directionally rooted and trimmed to give her that beautiful newborn head of hair! I am immensely proud of every head I paint & root, and Valentina is now my most prized head to date! I am confident you’ll love her just as much as I do!

Valentina Rose goes home with the cutest layette!! Everything pictured with her, goes home with her. Everything is brand new and was chosen to compliment her beautiful colouring – purples, pinks, and teals! She wears sized newborn and 0-3 mos clothes.

Included with Valentina:

Flower Dress & bloomers by Zara Baby
Hot Pink Ballerina Flats by Joe Fresh
Hand Knit Striped Flower Hat
Gerber flower onesie & no scratch mittens
Baby Green Hot Air Balloon Circo onesie
Teal & Pink Avent Modified Pacifier
2 Bows – Lavender & Bright Pink & Teal

She also goes home with a birth certificate, receiving blanket & five disposable diapers.

Testimonial Tuesday

Yes, another box opening video! BUT ZOMG – this one has had over 7000 views! :O Jo, HOWWWWWW?! LOL!!!


This baby remains one of my favourite creations to date – and def my favourite full combi baby (besides Quinlynn, coming soon!!!)

Friday Funny!!


Srsly sooooo dead from LOLZ!!! & for the record, I only get to watch tv when I root! I think it might actually be why I’ve grown to love rooting. Listening to episodes of Once Upon a Time or catching up with Teen Mom is the best! LOLOLOL!

If you’re a reborner, following me, you MUST share your rooting shows of choice! Now, where’s my straight jacket? πŸ˜€
