Dream Come True Reborns

since 2024

Elzbieta “Ellie” Ward| England, United Kingdom

I have always been an artistic soul; I dabbled in sketching, painting, digital art, singing, playing instruments, writing poetry… I first discovered the world of reborns while searching for therapy dolls to use in counselling and play therapy, and it quickly became something than lasted longer than I expected! I began my journey painting vinyl dolls, but eventually moved into silicone and completely fell in love with the art. I love children and painting these dolls is my special hobby. I create silicone babies and recently have started painting vinyl reborn toddlers (30” and above.) I now started experimenting with sculpting, and my dolls feature gums and tongues sculpted by me, along with carefully inserted armatures and ligatures to enhance realism and poseability. Every doll I create is a true labor of love, with my heart poured into every little detail of the painting. Hopefully, my creations bring the dolls’ new owners as much joy as I have had creating them.
