For a long time I have wanted to have one of my sculpts reproduced in vinyl, and now it's finally going to happen!This is Hope, she is a 14" sculpt of a very early baby born at 27 wks gestation. I have carefully studied premature babies and have paid every attention to detail, she is beautifully fragile and correctly proportioned for a baby of that age. She will be available in soft vinyl from end September /beginning October 2010. Here is Hope reborned by Donna wells of Nanas Dreams Nursery And here she is reborned by Jan Wilkinson of Merriebabies nursery.
She is shown here in her unpainted clay state.
More professionally reborned prototypes should be ready mid September and will be shown here so watch this space! If you wish to pre-order your kit click here.
I am pleased to announce that Hope will be the subject of the next Brighton Doll Festival reborn workshop! The workshop is a fantastic 2 day event held in Brighton U.K. and is taught by master reborn artist Dianne Johnson of Delicate Dreams Nursery. Places are limited so book early if you don't want to miss out. For more details see here.
