Jamika is sleeping! And boy would her brother like her to wake up and play! This sleeping little angel is an AA crib cap sized reborn doll with 1/4 vinyl limbs and a dyed dark skinned cloth body. She is 12 inches and weighs 1 pound 4 ounces. She was "born" on October 19, 2009 at 6:10 pm just after the birth of hier twin brother, Jammar, who is available in another listing. . Jamika is TNGUN reborn baby #195.The term "crib cap" is used for dolls that are small enough to fit into a real baby's crib cap. They are typically dolls that are 10-14 inches in length. Jamika was created from an AA 11 inch Berenguer LaBaby doll. I have fully reborned her giving her a different tone to her skin and a larger, jointed body. She is just wonderful to cuddle! I have signed her bottom and she is ready to go home to a loving family. I create these little babies primarily at this time of the year and I enjoy it very much. They are wonderful to give as gifts (Layaway is available) and are more affordable than my full size reborns. Since I fully reborn them, they give collectors a small taste of my skilled artwork at a fraction of the cost.Little dolls like Jamika are perfect for the small-space collectors and are oh-so-cute tucked inside a stocking hanging on the mantle on Christmas morning!Jamika has been fully painted with the Little Dreams Collection paints. She has a beautiful AA tone full of subtle details: a They Never Grow Up Nursery trademark. Her paint will not fade or rub off.I have hand rooted and sealed delicate lashes to her sleeping eyes and have hand painted tiny brows.Her hair is so soft and kinky! I rooted it very sparsely but left it a bit longer than her brothers...after all, she IS a girl! Her hair is fun to style. I did not sand her coarse head as it's just too dangerous a technique to do on small dolls like this. However, the grooved AA hair on her head only adds dimension to her overall look. Her hair is rooted with a 40 gauge needle and sealed on the inside for durability.I have hand dyed the new jointed cloth body and artistically weighted it with tiny, round plastic pellets. She is not overstuffed and is very poseable. Her 1/4 vinyl limbs are weighted with granulated glass beads and sealed for life. Her head is weighted with plastic pellet bean bags and fiber fill and it turns easily. And like all of my babies, she has my special technique for keeping her smelling baby powder fresh.Jamika will travel home with the custom hand made dress, bottoms, booties and headband as well as the custom made day gown, blanket and headband. I will include a real Pamper's Diaper, a magnetic pacifier and magnetic hair bow (please use caution around loved ones with medical devices and electronics as the magnets are very strong and can upset these items) and the sweet little Boyd's bear.

Her paint will not fade or rub off.She has gorgeous brown eyes graced by hand applied and sealed lashes and softly painted brows.Her soft, silky, angora hair is rooted with a 38 gauge needle to allow for fullness.

Now this sweet Autumn Angel needs a home!Born September 2, 2009, Weighing 5 pounds 4 ounces and 20 inches long, The child has black/brown hair that graces the face.The sweet Autumn Angel child resembles that of a Michelle Fagan reborn doll kit called Robin. With a splash of fairy and a speck of mortal man, Rilee is an adorable and colorful child. The child's mother is desperate to find the child a home before the cold, harsh winter sets in as she knows that both she and the child will starve. She must find Rilee a good home and get back to the Fairy Kingdom! She thought that she could hide the child inside the colorful wings and place her on a doorstep....but then she realized that a concerned passer by may not see the child and the child would remain abandoned. The mother knows that Rilee is a beautiful child with black brown angora mohair~typical of fairies of her kind. She also knows that she has gorgeous skin tones and details that make her desirable to any human being. Why, the combination of a Fairy and a Mortal tends to create textured brows, textured and detailed nails and of course like any baby, Rilee produces some great spit bubbles! The mother hopes to find someone to take good care of Rilee and keep the spit from running down her chin causing her sweet chin to chaff. She changes Rilee into a warm classic Mortal type Winnie the Pooh gown and a cloth diaper. Oh my....her heart just breaks as even though she herself is full blooded Fairy, she finds Rilee completely irresistible~even with hat hair. She simply cannot imagine a mortal not loving her darling child!Precious Rilee needs a loving home. The child has all that is needed for the new Mortal Mommy: The amazing Fairy costume including wings to dress up for what the Mortals call Halloween, the Walt Disney Collection gown, cap and matching thermal blanket, two magnetic pacifiers (be sure to keep them away from your mortal loved ones with medical devices and all those electronic gadgets the mortals love so much), a soft Teddy Bear and a birth certificate so that Rilee can be registered as a true Mortal. Rilee has all the details, and more, that one would expect on a high end collector doll created for the most discriminating collector. Your assurance always rests in a They Never Grow Up Nursery (TNGUN) reborn baby. Rilee has a three payment layaway plan to help the orphan child find a good home. 1/3 of the adoption fee is expected at time of adoption with the second payment due 30 days after and the final payment and shipping due 60 days after adoption. Rilee is currently on display and for sale at a local art gallery.Your questions are always welcome. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=790467 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:05:59 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=778014 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=778014"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/28445_product_2029903376_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> HALF ounce of beautiful, soft and shiny angora 1st clip kid mohair for reborn baby dolls or other mohair crafts. This hair is Sunlit Brown and GORGEOUS! The photo of the rooted doll above is a sample of the color of this hair~THIS IS NOT MY REBORN DOLL! I hope Heaven's Garden does not mind me using the picture of her lovely reborn doll~I have saved this picture over time as I would have loved to have had that doll. I used Heaven's Garden's doll in this posting because I have never rooted a doll with this color of hair so it's the only sample I had. I will have to change that and use this color. This hair is straight to wavy.~TNGUN mohair Info~I have been reborning life like baby dolls since the spring of 2005 and have only ever purchased raw hair from the same Oregon farm as I find it to be the absolute ~Best~ Premium Angora mohair on the earth.This gorgeous mohair is always soft and silky, never brittle, and has a lustrous shine. I promise that this hair is not loaded down with a bunch of conditioners that make it gorgeous at first only to disappoint later. This hair does not need all of those heavy conditioners and remains beautiful throughout the rooting process and for many years after you send the doll on to it's adoptive mommy.This premium mohair lies flat, is not frizzy or flyaway.The curly hair is lovely no matter what amount of curl it has.Most of the locks are between 5-7 inches and when processed, there is a light colored band ring at the cut end of the lock. I hate to cut it off as when I root as I like that extra length to hang on to. Each and every lock is handled and processed on an individual basis. I do not just dump it all into the washer for dying! In fact, I do not use the washer and I only use Acid Dyes made for mohair fibers.Please read more about mohair processing on my website at: www.theynevergrowupnursery.comArtists have told me that they get as many as 7 dolls rooted from an ounce of my hair! I cannot tell you what I get when I root with it as I keep the little bits that are left over after processing so rarely do I have a full ounce and I don't keep track. http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=778014 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:48:03 MST http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=703846 <a href="http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=ViewListing&product_id=703846"> <img align="left" border="none" hspace="5" style="padding-right: 25px;" src="http://static.artfire.com/admin/product_images/thumbs/28445_product_1408943107_thumb_crop.jpg"> </a> HALF ounce of beautiful, soft and shiny angora yearling mohair for reborn baby dolls or other mohair crafts.
