My name is Amy Lynn Colt. I am new to reborning but I have been a porcelain doll artist and instructor for many years in the 80’s and 90’s. I specialized in the German character babies but also painted French Bebe’s. I even had one of my dolls published in the, I Spy Christmas Book, A Book of Picture Riddles, published in 1992 by Walter Wick. I started my reborn journey when we were about to have a new Baby Grandson. I wanted to purchase a realistic baby doll for my 2-year-old Granddaughter Ada, who was going to be a new big sister. I wanted her to practice holding a baby before her brother Noah would be born. Of course, dolls don’t look like real babies so I kept looking for at least something that would make her feel like she was holding a real baby. Well, this research brought me to the world of REBORNS. As a lifelong artist, I knew I wanted to paint dolls, so I purchased all my supplies and started painting in early 2022. I finished my first doll in May 2022 and continued making and perfecting my dolls for friends and family until I was satisfied with my skills to start selling babies. Now that I have my own way of painting and feel confident my babies look real, it is time to start selling.
