So what is a "Reborn baby"? Reborn babies are fundamentally dolls which are made to look and feel such as for instance a real human baby. Similar to a regular doll, they are generally made of up vinyl; however, each doll is carefully crafted to become as life-like that you can. The art of earning reborn doll requires a quantity of step-by-step procedures and starts with disassembling the areas of a doll, removing its factory paint, stuffing each part to produce it heavier, and putting right back together again. The doll is coated with several layers of paint in various shades to produce a traditional human flesh tone; then the hair, including eyebrows and eyelashes, are painstakingly rooted individually to the doll's head and face for a natural finish. To create it more realistic, some dolls are made with mechanisms to emulate the feel of heart beat. Each doll can cause a hundred to a thousand dollars based on its workmanship. This art of making reborn doll is known as "reborning" whilst the doll artist is called "reborner".
