Rooting Kimberly: Am I done?
Permalink   

Hi everyone, here's my 2nd reborn-in-progress: Kimberly Ann.  She's a Snookie LaBaby Berenguer, with awful hard vinyl.  A lovely mold but a nightmare to root.  I am working on rooting her hair, and I think I might be done with it, but I can't decide if I want it a bit thicker or not.  I did not get the crown swirl quite right, but the vinyl was 'flaking', so I quit trying to fix it.  She's my first rooted reborn, so she might be a hat baby (she does look adorable in a bonnet).  The first 2 pictures of her rooting are with her hair dry, the others are with her hair wet.  If anybody has any opinions on if to add more hair or not, or any comments or suggestions, I'd love to hear them.  Thanks.

Miss reborner , I agree with you that rooting Berenguar dolls is a night mare, apart from the 7 th pic, I think the others are fine, I think she needs a little more hair on that side, have you made a rice or wheat bag to put inside the head to soften the vynal for rooting, this makes it a little bit easier. You put it in the microwave for 3 mins, hope this helps. My 22" Berenguar took 8 hrs to root, but I want to curl it, I think that will make it look a bit thicker.weirdfaceJune M from Oz

i think you've done a fantastic job... and i remember how the vinyl can start breaking up around that crown area on the berenguers myself - makes doing a swerl crown very difficult. But i think it looks lovely as it is. I don't think you need to add any more hair. June made mention to pic #7 but i can see that in this pic your hair is wet which always makes it look thinner. From the other pics you hair looks very consistant with its thickness. Well done is all i can say.

ps - I was going to be named Kimberly, right up until i was born and when my parents saw me they decided i just didn't look like a kimberly afterall.

.... personally i like the name Kimberly better than Naomi... grrrr LOL

Thank you all so much ladies. Between your comments and and my own observations I have decided to call myself done rooting Kimberly! So now I'm going to glue her hair, glue her magnet for her passy, eyebrows, and put her together! I'm so excited, she's going to be so cute. I am hopelessly addicted to reborning, as we all are. Thanks again.
