InTheSparrowsNest's custom Reborn Doll Kenzie
Kenzie was sculpted by Donna RuBert and painted using multiple layers of heat set paint to create an illusion of realism. I use only the finest of materials to ensure you get the highest quality doll. This doll was a custom commission now living with my client in The Netherlands.
I use the finest mohair to root with. I ensure that the mohair I purchase is from farms who humanly care for their sheep, goats and alpacas. The process of rooting utilizes a fine needle in which one to two hairs are pushed into the vinyl to produce a "folicle" of hair, and eventually a full head of hair.
To ensure combing and light brushing will not pull the mohair out, the interior of the head is applied with glue. Great care is taken to achieve a natural look that is appropriate for each kit, or as detailed in a commission.
No details are left out! Here is our finished Kenzie. A light varnish helps protect the paint during dressing and handling.
All ready to go home!
