Editorial Review:Product Description:The creative process begins with that most ordinary of items: a vinyl play doll, available anywhere. But when it’s made over with a touch of color and other embellishments, it becomes a realistic-looking display piece—a work of art that often resembles a real baby and may even remind the creator of her own child, niece, nephew, or grandchild. The craft has become a hot new thing, and here’s the secret of designing these “reborn dolls.” It covers all the steps, from preparing the base doll to coloring, from adding eyes and hair to producing various types of cloth bodies and accessories from the included patterns. Inspiration comes from the numerous examples of finished dolls, created by both the author and other artists.

I think this is a good book for beginners who are looking to start reborning on the cheap. Some of the babies that are photographed in the back are lovely - the ones that the author did are rather ordinary. Since buying the book I have found much better information in doll magazines. Now that I have started reborning I would only give the book 3 stars - the patterns for the bodies help bring the book up.

This is a wonderful book with easy to understand step by step instruction. Not only is the processed explained in words and pictures but there is also background on why the procedure is needed. I can't wait to start!

I was thrilled when I spotted this book in with the new books at our library. I used to do reborning back when it was in it's "infantsy" some 5 years ago, and back then this book would have been a treasure trove, but now it's already dated. The dolls pictured through the book are Very amatureish and poorly done. If you want some great examples of how reborn dolls done by professionals look take a peek at the higher priced ones on ebay or go to www.doll-fan.com...tons of great info there for free! ...

Hmmm...I was looking forward to this book and disappointed when I received it. It was NOT as detailed as one would expect according to the description. Kind of a cheaper version of what COULD have been a nicer book. Bummer of a book.
