I enjoy dolls so much, to me they are like my children, they just mean the world to me.  I find that they are the perfect way to capture a moment in time, a certain expression, a memory, etc.  My 4 children are growing up before my eyes each day, I long for those days when they were babies.....though I can never get those days back, I find that reborning and sculpting helps me to keep those days close to my heart.

I often get asked how did I get my start? Well, I never intended to become an artist, it was one of those things that just happened to me by accident, fate, whatever you may want to call it.  I originally went to university and obtained my Bachelor of Commerce, I had always intended to work in a large company in upper management but after working for several years in some wonderful companies and having 3 of my children, I realized what was important to me and that was being at home with my children.   During my last pregnancy, I had to leave work early due to complications and as I sat there for months waiting for the birth of my baby, I found a hobby to keep myself busy.  I started crocheting baby clothes, then I thought about crocheting heirloom baby booties and selling them on eBay.  This was one of my first experiences on eBay and I just loved it!  As I sold booties for a few months, I noticed that some of the other sellers has the word "REBORN" in their titles.  I had never heard of a reborn, I wanted to find out more about this so I started searching them out.  Once I did that, I was hooked, wow, I just could not believe that talent I saw in being able to recreate these dolls into a lifelike resemblance of a baby.  I absolutely fell in love and I told my self that I must learn to create one, even if I was not any good at it, it was something I had to do.  I researched ever bit of information I could find, buying every tutorial I could get my hands on until I was satisfied that I had enough knowledge to give it a try.  That was a little over 18 months ago and I have not looked back.  I have been able to create over 120 reborns to date and have loved every minute of it.  Now I stay home as a full time mom and create reborns and sculpts when I have the chance.

About 3 months after I started reborning, I found my way to polymer clay...again it was something I was very interested in but had little knowledge of.  I once again did as much research as I could and started to play with the clay, finding out just how incredibly difficult it is to put your ideas into clay.  There were many different clays that I tried but I found that prosculpt worked the best for me and allowed me to capture the detail I wanted in those tiny little One of A kind baby sculpts that I love so much.  At this time, I have sold over 75 sculpts and I love that just as much as reborning.

As you can see I am all about babies, have always loved them, always will, they will always hold that special spot in my heart.
