Reborn doll

I spent more time than I expected reading about "Reborn dolls" - this is a very unique hobby -
The term Reborn Doll refers to a vinyl baby doll, that has been customized by a process of repainting and enhancement to resemble a human baby. The process of creating a Reborn Doll is referred to as Reborning.Reborn doll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - [via] Link & short film about the makers of these dolls - and lastly some kits.The technique of Reborning has evolved over the past five years, as hobbyists and doll artists have refined the painting techniques, and added technical enhancements, such as a heartbeat simulator. More recently special Reborn doll kits are available, and mechanical enhancements are seen, such a battery powered breathing mechanism to simulate the breathing movements of a sleeping baby.
