Costume Commissions

A few months ago I was commissioned to make some costumes for reborn baby dolls, but I couldn't share them until the contest they were going to be entered in was over.  The contest has been over for a while, so I thought I'd share the pictures.

Raggedy Ann and Andy by Cute As A Pixie Nursery :

 I created the outfits, including Andy's hat, and both red yarn wigs.


Baby Spock by Blue Fairy Babies :

I created the little Starfleet uniform.  Baby Spock is for sale here: Baby Spock on Etsy

Captain Jack Sparrow

My first doll ready to sell.  Here he is, Captain Jack Sparrow!

Jack has a hand-styled wig with actual dreadlocks and braids accurate to the movie.  He has brown eyes with prominent black lashes.  He comes with a costume created specially for him: off-white puff sleeve shirt with opening cuffs, collar, and tie strings, dark blue lined vest with real pockets, medium blue 18th century style knee breeches, red striped sash and faux leather belt with silver buckle, faux suede cuffed boots, faux leather tricorn hat, red bandana/head scarf, various beads/coins/hair decorations, and a ring hand-carved of polymer clay specifically for Jack.  Jack will also come with a mini treasure chest complete with "gold" coins, a pirate themed blanket, and a couple other baby pirate items!

Harry Potter

The character contest on my reborning forum is over now, so I can post pictures of my contest baby.  This was my first ever reborn contest.  Harry won 1st place in his category and 3rd place overall!  Not bad for my 3rd ever reborn! 

Harry started as a Trey sculpt by Michelle Fagan. I reborned him, and created his costume pretty much entirely myself.  I made the white button-up shirt, grey pants, grey sweater with Gryffindor house colors, Gryffindor house tie, black robe with hand-embroidered Gryffindor patch, school hat, black shoes & socks (he has white socks under the black so the color won't bleed onto the vinyl of his feet).  I taught myself how to knit so I could make the Gryffindor house colors scarf.  I made a magnetic wand and hand-painted the black rim on his glasses.  I even created his pet owl Hedwig.  Harry wears a reborn bracelet featuring the Hogwarts school crest and Gryffindor house colors.

Harry will be for sale, but first I have a Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger to finish that will go with Harry.

Where's the babies???

I realize that I have only posted one reborn baby on my blog so far.  You may be wondering where the babies are??!  I am currently working on 3 soon to be 5 dolls, all in various stages.  The doll that I have nearest to completion is actually for a contest, so I cannot post him until the contest is over.  During the wait, you might like to take a look at my Annie in progress.  She still needs the rest of her hair:

Princess and the Pea Costume

I was commissioned to make a princess outfit for someone's Elawin fairy doll.  Here is the finished set:

Delicate Pink Gown -SOLD!

Update: The pink gown has sold. :)

I had created this to keep, but I need to buy more supplies, so I'm selling it.  (I do have enough of the same material to make one for myself later.)

I finished my first reborn, a Precious kit by Berenguer.  This one went to a very distinguished client: my 2-year old son!
