My name is Karen Challender and I'm the creator of
Karens Kids
Adorable handmade cloth doll's of every race.
I've been making cloth doll's for over 25 years..
Recently I became very interested in Reborn Doll's..
It just took a little research to become hooked!!
Reborning is truly an art form, rewarding, fun and addictive..
On these pages you'll see sweet, lovable, lifelike reborns available for adoption you'll want to cuddle
and never put down!
 
What is a reborn doll?
 
The simple answer: A reborn is a soft vinyl doll that's been dismantled and put back together to look like a real baby..
 
The detailed answer is much more complicated.
The doll is taken apart..The eyes are removed and replaced with beautiful, realistic eyes.  The head and limbs are given a "dye" bath to create a nice skin tone. The nose is either "opened" or shaded to look like real nostrils. The paint on the head is removed and replaced with rooted mohair or a high quality doll wig.  
 The body is remade (I use doe suede.. the ultimate doll fabric).. The limbs, head and body are weighted with craft beads, stuffed with poly fiberfill and reassembled so that the arms, legs and head are movable and poseable..
 
Then the fun begins!
Eyelashes are applied, lip coloring added and sealed, coloring is added in all the right places on the face, arms and legs. The coloring soaks into the vinyl and becomes permanent.  Eyebrows are painted.  The toenails and fingernails are given a "baby" manicure and permanetly sealed.
 
The perfect outfit is picked out and the finished result is a gorgeous baby doll you'll cherish for years to come.
 
The reborning process takes days, sometimes weeks to complete...
It truly is a labor of love.
 
A reborn doll is no longer a play doll. It's a collectible doll you and your family can cherish and hand down from generation to generation for years to come.  Reborn doll's are never suitable for toddler size children, but may be suitable for older children who understand they must treat the reborn like a real newborn.
 
There are many soft vinyl doll's on the market these days that can be used for reborning. I love the Berenguer doll's because of their detailed facial expressions and soft vinyl. Other popular doll's include the Apple Vally Doll's by Secrist, Middleton Doll's and many, many more. Reborning is quickly becoming a popular art form all over the globe.
 
I offer both reborn doll's and Berenguer doll's for reborning!
 
Please sit back, relax and take a  few minutes to visit the sweet baby's on these pages.. They're available for instant purchase, but remember, once they're gone, they are gone forever. Each doll is a One of a Kind and will never be recreated.
 
I hope they bring a smile to your heart.
