About Me
My name is Julie. I have always loved dolls and dollhouses. I discovered lifelike dolls (also called reborns, reborn dolls, reborn babies) in 2008 while searching on ebay for a miniature baby for my dollhouse. I was instantly amazed by how real the dolls looked. I spent the next month looking at all the different available dolls before deciding on one to purchase. After receiving my doll I knew I had to learn how to create them so set about teaching myself. I have received so much help by joining doll forums, reading about the process, and asking questions. I am grateful to the ladies on the Bountiful Baby forum who gave me my base knowledge to get started reborning and also the friends and advice on subsequent forums that I joined.
I began painting and assembling the dolls for my own personal doll collection. After creating the dolls I enjoy dressing and displaying them for different seasons and holidays. Some of the doll forums I am a member of periodically hold picture/photo contests and I love posing and photographing dolls to enter in those competitions. As I created more and more dolls it got increasingly difficult to find places to display them. I love making these dolls and I finally realized I do not have the space to keep all the dolls I make. I now love to make dolls for others to enjoy.
Below are some of my dolls posed for holidays, story pictures, and/or contests.
