Hi! My name is Kathy Dodson, with Beary Sweetheart Nursery. I have been a decorative artist for over 20 years, painting landscapes and murals in many mediums for use in people’s homes. I am now a member of the R.E.A.L., the PRA*ISE, and the Cherished Little Darlings forums and have earned several awards including the excellence award in painting and rooting. I am a Moderator and Teacher on the REAL forum.  I have been collecting and making babies, orangutans, bears, and a variety of monkeys for many years, as well as the art of reborning/newborning for almost six years. I usually sell at local gift shops, but now I sell on E-bay, and have sold many of them internationally. Please read my return policy at the end of this page. If you are unsure of anything about these reborn babies or about how it was reborn, please ask questions before bidding. This is very important. As with any type of art form, taste may vary.

As you can see, Damiano makes a handsome little boy. The eyebrows have been hand-painted in small brush strokes to look like real hair. His nose has been opened and backed with felt for realism and depth. His lips have been sealed with a satin matte to give him a soft, realistic look.

This is the Poppet sculpt by Adrie Stoete. I use Genesis heat set paints to give Damiano his realistic, praline and cream skintone. This is done in many shaded and mottled layers over several days to give him the new born look.  He has been given subtle veining and realistic undertones in all of the proper places.

Damiano has German blue-grey glass eyes.  He also has sculpted tear ducts for added realism.

Damiano will be coming home to you with black corduroy bib overalls with a red striped shirt and matching socks, grey corduroy pants with a grey shirt and a white reindeer vest and matching socks, black pants, black and blue fleece jacket with matching hat and socks, a light blue polar bear shirt, white undershirt, magnetic pacifier, extra diaper,small belly plate for posing, care instructions and rebirth certificate. No other props shown are included.

Damiano is fully rooted with Delta Dawn medium brown mohair with light brown highlights. He has been micro-rooted using a 43 guage crown needle, one or two hairs at a time. He has a directional crown in the back of his hair. His hair can be styled wet or dry.

His fingernails and toenails have been manicured with ivory tips then sealed.   Damiano's nails have tiny moons at their base, just like a newborn baby would have.  Each crease on his hands and feet have been lightly shaded and detailed, to match his praline skin tones.
