Skin Tones
As reborn dolls became more popular, many collectors started to request that they be made in different skin tones. Some reborn artists did not like the idea of simply “tweaking” a white baby into an African American doll, and instead began to create their dolls from scratch – starting with new molds for their bodies, and using various paint colors to accurately replicate darker newborn skin tones.
Many reborners will even add details such as veins, birthmarks, and nails to their dolls. In some cases, they will also add mohair and eyelashes to their dolls, a time-consuming process that involves adding the hair strand by strand. Finally, some reborners will add electronics to their dolls, such as voice boxes that can mimic gurgling and cooing.
