true reborn contest

Dee · Guru

I'm not sure if this is the contest you are looking for but there is one that lifelikedollsmag.com is having, my husband told me that I should do it, I may enter it.
I hope I'm not breaking any rules by putting this in the forum.

Nope, Dee, you did great--no rules broken!

I'll keep my eyes and ears open for a contest for "true" reborns as a opposed to "newborns".

Does it matter if they go against a new reborn kit, I would think that if you have taken the time to reborn a rescued baby it would be no different than doing a kit, there is more work in stripping back and reborning them than just starting from a blank kit. Most of them you have to colour correct them as well, If you state that on your entry, it should be noted and extra points given for extra effort. That is how I would judge them here in Oz. I will be judging reborns for the first time in July at the Sunshine Coast Doll, Bears, toys and Craft Show on the 17 th July. I hope I am an impartial Judge. Lots of Luck. XXXXXX June. biggrin

I think that so few people make reborns from dolls anymore that a contest like that wouldn't get many entries. Also, it's usually only the beginners who do, so it wouldn't be a very "professional" contest. It's a good way to learn, but eventually if you want to get anywhere in the reborn world, you have to use the expensive kits. :( Enjoy doing it, though! I think you'd find that the kits are a lot easier to use. I did. But if it's rescue babies that have won your heart, rescue babies! Just don't expect them to really be on the same level with other babies.

In Most Doll shows with Compitition in Aust, there is a section for novice and I don't think an expensive or a shop bought doll wouldn't make a difference in this section. We all have to start somewhere. The judging is done on a points score out of 100, you would take into consideration, all the aspects of reborning, some novice reborners have studied a lot before they begin to do their first reborn wether it be a second hand , shop bought or an expensive kit. Depending on the detailing, weighting, layers,veining, rooting,nails, , tips of nails,lips, blemishes and milk spots. So I guess when you entre a comp that's what most judges would look for. Now they would be looking for exactly the same thing but with more expertize in advanced or professional. JIMHO. Is this correct Pat? XXXXXXX June.
