Oddly Sweet Dolls

Lidy kit Didy Jacobsen

UPDATE 8/5: Lidy found her new mommy almost the moment she was launched on eBay. Thank you so much everyone for taking a peek and all the wonderful comments on facebook & eBay! She will be on her way here in the United States early tomorrow.

 

-------------

Please welcome my newest little one. She is a "Lidy" kit by Didy Jacobsen. Adorable cheeks and nose, she is sure to steal your heart. She will be sold through eBay with a Buy It Now price. 

It's my plan to start creating one baby a month that is alittle bit more affordable for those who like & want to collect my work, yet may not be able to adopt higher priced little ones I offer. This doesn't mean that there is any less work that takes place. With each baby, I still put in the same amount of time, hard work and love! 

Her listing will launch sometime today 8/5/2010 once I finish the remainder of her photos... Stay tuned for a link.

Thanks for peeking!

Biracial Arianna Toddler Reva Schick-

UPDATE:7/28- Arianna is on her way home! *Yea*

-----------------------------

Please welcome my newest little one. She is an Arriana kit by Reva Shick at 28" in length.
This little one took me over 3 months to create. She has awesome thick hair. Iv seen so many little girls with the same exact thick kinda wild hair, I thought it would be awesome for her. I hope you like her! To view all her photos, please click the link below!

 

10" Mini Reborn Pratt Babies!

UPDATE: 7/19 Both have been adopted and on the way to SPAIN! Thank you :)

   These sweethearts are from "Byron" & "Emma" kits by Denise Pratt. They make 10" mini babies and are just adorable! I renamed them Mary (sleeper) & Molly (awake). They have beautiful custom made outfits and gorgeous painted hair. Please take a peek!

Noah kit Reva Shick Finished!!!

UPDATE:6/24 Charlotte has been adopted/sold! TY! Her new home is located in the USA!

It's about time I say hehe... This little girl took a while to complete ( since before April) but I could not be happier with her results. I am having a hard time letting her go up for adoption. She could really be a keeper here in my nursery! When she was half way finished I really thought that she was going to be a boy. Once her hair & eyelashes were micro-rooted her appearance was all girl! 

I think I am going to call her Charlotte. The name Charlotte comes from the French origin. In French The meaning of the name Charlotte is: little or womanly. Of course her new mommy can re-name her what ever she wishes once she is adopted. Charlotte is a pretty name and suits her well I think.

 

 Charlotte has full really soft vinyl legs and 3/4 arms. I gave her a chest/tummy plate for some beautiful photos ops. Reva Schick sculpts some of the most adorable kits. I have been lucky enough to reborn a few of her kits but I have to say "Noah" is certainly my favorite! I just finished her photo shoot and will be creating her auction on eBay. I would look for her tomorrow night Wednesday (6/16). I think I am too tired to sit for another hour and create her listing, so tomorrow I will work on it while my boys take naps.

If you are friends or a "Fan" with me on Facebook then you will be the first to see the auction links. If not please add your self. I have a link on the top left corner of my blog-site.

 

Here is the before & after photo so you can get an idea of just how
 much work goes into creating just one baby. Lots! hehe :) 

 

 Thanks for peeking!

Reborn Michelle kit Evelina Wosnjuk (Adopted)

I was able to finish my Michelle kit over the weekend. Michelle and a custom Arianna toddler is all I have been working on :).   You can see all of her photos on eBay right now. She is at auction at my reserve price with a buy it now button if you want to make her yours right away. 

"Lilly" is what I re-named her. I waited over a year to work on this kit and she was so worth the wait. I just adore her! 

UPDATE:6/15 Adopted. Her new home will be located in the UK!!

 
 
 

I tried out "Spit Bubbles" this time and I really like how it came out. Iv seen some done way over the top so I tried to stay away from that look and keep it natural. I love her little mouth, it is so precious!

I think it's important to show as many details I can. My camera will capture detail that you will not be able to see with your naked eye or make it look larger than it really is in real life. So I hope that my zoom photos will help you see the difference. You can't see the bubbles from a normal range, but if you get up really close you can see the little details.

 Isn't her nose just the cutest!?! 

 

Noah (Reva Schick) & Michelle (Evelina Wosnjuk) almost finished!

I see the light at the end of the tunnel! I have been working on the "Noah" kit by Reva Schick for at least 2 months. I swore up and down this kit would be a boy but after her hair was rooted and eyelashes she makes the sweetest little baby girl.  I am still working on finishing her limbs, so she won't be up for adoption for probably another week or so. I am still thinking of what to name her. 

 

"Michelle" kit by Evelina Wosnjuk was a kit I waited for over a year to be re-released. Her mold broke so they were never able to launch new ones. All us reborners waited and waited! I am so happy to say she was re-released as of just a couple weeks ago & is 60% finished in her pictures below. I have blue glass eyes inserted just so I could take some photos. I wrote before I won't take pictures without the eyes. It can kinda  be weird to look at.

 I like to take a couple of test shots of her face to see where I am at on her painting. The camera never lies. Lets see, I need to warm up her face, work on her lips, paint her eyebrows. Since you can see her tongue, I will also work on the tiny taste buds. She could use a bit more shading around her nose, eyes and ears. Just the cutest! Her newborn expressions is so wonderful.

 

  

Victorian Gothic-Glam Baby

UPDATE: 5/10 Elvie has been adopted. Thank you to everyone who has e-mailed me about her with your kind words. It encourages & inspires me to create more and more little ones like Elvie! 

This little one ends tonight on eBay 5/9 just in time for Mothers Day! I have been very busy finishing up 4 babies and working on my last custom baby Arianna this past week. I have not had the time to blog. 

She is from an Abigail kit by Olivia Stone. When I was searching for my 3rd kit to work on for the series, I fell in love with this one the moment I saw it. I so badly wanted to transform this little girl. I like to find kits with large captivating eyes. I am so proud how she turned out. I e-mail Vera with veradollcouture.com, who is my costume designer and asked for a dark victorian baby dress. I love her designs. She custom made her gorgeous dress set & bonnet for "Elvie".

My gothic babies are realistic looking, only with very pale skin & dark black hair. I don't find them scary what so ever. I think the term "Gothic" scares people off. I find many gothic things beautiful. I guess I want them to look like they are back in the 1800's. 

On a side note, this is a Charity auction for the "Make Yourself Foundation". 10% of the babies proceeds will be donated. Thank You!

 

Hope everyone has a wonderful Mothers Day!

 

Piper kit Tamie Yarie

Just wanted to share some photos of "Piper" kit by Tamie Yarie.  If you were following her on eBay this week (4/18) you may have noticed I ended her auction early. A friend e-mailed me with an offer I could not refuse and since no bids had been placed yet, I was happy to end her auction to have her new mommy adopt her! I was not able to update my blog fast enough before she sold, but if you are FaceBook friends you are always first to know what baby is being launched before they do. 
She is a 15" preemie with beautifully hand painted hair. She will be missed once she leaves this week! 

  
 
 

Aurora kit by Florenza Blancheri

Update: 4/12/2010 She has been adopted/sold Thank You :) 

Please welcome Aurora! She is such a sweetie. This kit Aurora by Florenza Blancheri has been long discontinued, and almost impossible to find. I decided to give her soft painted hair and beautiful brown eyes that match her complexion perfectly. She is about 18" in length and just the perfect size to hold in your arms. Sweet little face & lips!

 

4 New Babies In The Works...

So what is next? 4 new babies I have my hands on, as of this week! 

• "Noah" kit by Reva Schick 
• "Sophie" kit by Evelina Wosjnuk     
• "Li Mei" kit by Cathy Rowland
• My victorian gothic baby is a surprise but almost finished! 

These 3 babies I have been waiting for a while to get here, and wouldn't you know it they will all be arriving only days apart of each other. My Noah kit is already here, and have worked on him a little bit. I have put all other babies aside for the last 2 weeks so that I can finish up my last custom order, but she is about finished as of tonight! I won't be taking on any more custom orders, probably not for a long while.

The pictures below are not of my work, but of the kit's I am working on. These were the prototypes created by other artists. 

"Sophie" kit by Evelina Wosjnuk  

Is she not adorable!?! I am actually working on her as an A/A ~ Ethnic baby I think. I have her all planned out in my head, but will make the finial decision once she is actually in my hands! 

 

"Noah" kit by Reva Schick 

I see noah as a fair skinned boy, so that is how he will be created. This kit really actually goes either way, but he tells me he wants to be a boy. I can't wait to get him finished. His blushing is 1/2 way done. I did take a couple hours today to do some work on him. I just could not help myself! 

 

"Li Mei" kit by Cathy Rowland

I am so excited to work on Li-Mei! I have not worked on an Asian baby for what seems to be a really long time. She should be shipping out anyday now. That times out perfectly so I can get a jump start on my other 2 babies.

 

My new Victorian-Gothic Glam baby is almost done. Well I should say her paint. Her hair still needs to be rooted so that will take a couple more weeks at least. But I am so excited about her. I think my fans will be happy about this one! I need to talk with Vera who created my costumes for some dress ideas.. I have a few in mind...
