My name is Lara Antonucci and I am the R.E.A.L. Class owner. I am a stay at home mom of 5. My kids keep me busy. They range in ages from 16 to 2 years old. I am married to a wonderful husband who is a high school teacher. We recently celebrated our 5th anniversary and renewed our wedding vows, which was incredible! I fallen in love with reborns and the art of reborning. I have achieved many awards, and I am associated with many incredible guilds and reborning forums and groups. I have been reborning for a few years and have found some simple techniques that both beginners and advanced artists can use in their reborning. I am excited to share these techniques with you. It is my hope that we can all learn together to make some beautiful babies!

You sound busy! I do know that you make incredible reborns and I can't wait to learn from you! It's great to be here :sunny:

You really sound busy with all those children and then helping people with classes which I'd love to find out how to sign up for some. I'm thinking it might be on the calender thread? I probably am putting this in the wrong place too. sorry...all boards are so different and I've not run across one like this. I'm sure I'll catch on pretty quickly. Hopefully. lol

This board is huge. I've been making my way around. I've been to your site and found out what baby is the fall class, I was hoping just to take a newborning cless using one of the 4 new kits I just bought spending over 300, so I'm think I should wait until the Sept class since I have to purchase another kit. Anyway thanks so much for all the information.

That sounds like a winner. Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe I can improve enogh to feel good about my work. I don't know why I'm so insecure. Maybe seeing some of the kits that are so detailed. I was a nurse for many years working with newborns so that helps me a lot. I'm disabled now and can't work anymore, so what better way to make use of myself and make these precious little ones to hold and cuddle. They can be so amazing and real feeling. I took my Aubrey out and some woman commented on her and I said I made her and she said "no honey...the Lord made her'.. I thought I'd nevet get it to her that the baby was indeed a doll. She had to feel of her just to make sure. I feel pretty good about her.

Hi Aviva, welcome to the forum. I too, am a disabled RN, and worked Peds ICU at the U of Michigan for many years. One of my daughters is now a NICU nurse at the U. I too have found reborning to keep that hunger for the babies at bay...and at the same time I think I can use my hard learned medical skills in making the nuances of the babies better...at least I hope I can!
Hey...maybe you and I should start our own group.....Nurses Reborning for Therapy or ?
Really hope you will like it here...and like you I can't afford the expensive kits all the time but am looking forward to taking the classes and learning the ins and outs anyway and then apply them to my less expensive vinyl. In the hopes that when I get that expensive kit I won't ruin it right out of the box!
Welcome.
Joy

I have another very good friend that was a nursery nurse also and she's reborning now. I've been telling her about this site. Maybe Sherri will make it one day. I made the mistake of trying the german vinyl after only having done the bountiful pink and then I did try a Secrist and didn't know about the internal wash...that was a very pale baby. The German Vinyl is a bit different for sure, but now I've done two of them and did okay...well the first one was a do over..lol...but I made it all the way through the second one without any problems. I was just so used to the pink color and that vinyl is not that pink. Now I'm looking at all my very pink pink babies. Well..you know the newborn is usually very pink and most have those jaundice undertones. That do over kit has those undertones...by mistake..lol, but she's mine and I think she's cute and I made a sell after someone saw her..it's Pooky by Petra Lechner. I should get the kit probably Friday..darn...I got it, and had them sub the 3/4 arms instead of the 1/2...well..don't do that...she's tiny and petite and those other arms and legs are really too big for her, so I sent her back and ordered another. My other kits I bought have just been mailed today and I bought them last Wed. They are slow at Doll Dreams and Irresisitables. My spelling isn't up to par lately. Getting old sucks as they say now-a-days Anyway thanks for the welcome and it will take me a little while to get all the names right.
