Reborn Blinkin

It has been a bit since I posted because I have been working FT at a temp job and the summer heat has about gotten the best of me!

I am proud to say I shipped out 3 dolls last week.  Anastacia went to SC, Benjamin to Italy and Whitney to Australia.  My babies are well traveled!

I recently decided to order the 2 new all vinyl anatomically correct doll kits from Bountiful Baby as they had them on sale and I wanted to try them out.  I wasn't ever that crazy about Blikin (the open eyed baby) to begin with but I got her to practice my hair painting as well as see what it was like to paint an all vinyl before I tried to paint Nod (the sleeper). My hair painting still has a LONG way to go but I do enjoy it. Blinkin was quite a challenge to paint because her vinyl was an odd color that had a distinct dead gray undertone to it.  A few times I wasn't sure what I would end up with but in the end I think she turned out okay.   After fighting so with her vinyl color I am sort of "over it" when it comes to the all vinyl doll for now. I won't be pulling him out any time soon. However, thankfully Nod has much better coloring to his vinyl than she did. She was gray and he is not. Go figure.

Here is Blinkin now that she is all finished.





Blinkin is now for sale.
