Im new to the forum, but not new to the art of reborning. My name is Kat and Im the artist behind TLTH ~Forever Babies~ on Australian ebay. (TLTH standing for To Love & To Hold). I have been reborning for approx 5 yrs now.
I currently have a baby on the bay, a Lollipop sculpt from Secrist. So I thought I would share him with everyone:)
Do you know what really amazed me? The way you took Preston's picture. I felt like he was looking right into my eyes! He's captivating!
Best of everything on your auction! (BTW, the name you chose for your nursery is so heartfelt. It's lovely.)
Thank you so much for sharing your little one with our forum. I think you will enjoy sharing on this website. There are very special people here--and the Secrist Doll Company is the best there is!
P.S. Kat, I had to add--I looked at your auction again, and your baby's hair is rooted so perfectly!

Hi Kate, there are quite a few of us aussies here, your bound to recognise a few others from ebay.com.au
Your little boy there is darling. I did a lollipop recently myself, but as a girl - looks just as precious as a little boy. I used BB premmie limbs on mine though. All the best with his auction and welcome to the forum
BB is short for Bountiful Baby... technically speaking we're not meant to name competitor supply sites on here or pass on their website addresses except for through Private Message (PM's). We are allowed to use the initials of other sites though so you'll see references to BB, DD, PC and others.
Seeing as your in Australia though i'll let you in on some valuable info. If your currently purchasing your supplies/kits through australian suppliers your likely paying far too much - in some cases up to tripple what you'd pay if you purchase directly from the US yourself. Even after paying the international postage you'll save a small fortune. I'll PM you with info on the suppliers i use if you'd like.
Where in australia are you anyway?? I'm over in Perth WA, but there are heaps of us on here from all over aust. So far i'm the only one on this side of the country though
KatinOz, Just checked out your ebay site , it looks great, so does your baby, you have done a wonderful lot of work on him, so life like. He still has some time to go so I hope you do realy well.June M from Oz
Hey i've just sent you the PM of suppliers in the US, i still buy some smaller things here in aust - the rooting needles i use, sometimes hair, eyes and other little odd's n end's but i don't remember the last time i purchased a kit here.
Thanks for the compliments on Preston, June and Nateka:)
For those who may had him on watch, I had to pull him auction this morning to revise. But good news is he will be back on ebay, scheduled to be back at 7:35pm.
Berenguer tummy plate..Cheers for that..I have a Taite myself that I will someday reborn..lol..And that Tummy plate on your little Taite suits perfectly.. By the way, your Taite is gorgeous. So very life like. If I wasnt a reborner, I would of thought he was real.

What I like about your lollipop is his eyes! The way you made him look to the side just a bit. Makes him look like he is looking right at me in the photos. I did one as a girl, but love yours as a boy. I might get another one and do it as a boy and make them twins. Hope he sells well for you.
Thankyou Guys once again for the great input on Preston. I really did enjoy working with him. And Im glad I have achieved the result I seeked when placing his eyes in a side ways glance:) Secrist have done a wonderful job when producing these sculpts. The vinyl is such a dream to work with. Im currently working on a Sassy kit, and Im loving every moment.
Preston is my first Lollipop that I have created, and some day I would like to create a little girl version.
Mina, the sculpt in your avatar is simply gorgeous. You are a very talented women. I gave sculpting a go once. And it caused me more stress then enjoyment. So I gathered it just wasnt for me..lol.. I truelly take my hat off to sculptors.
Kat

I saw a little picture of him, wow! He looks awesome. I also adore your baby in your avatar. Did I tell you that in another post? I keep looking at him.
