Reborn Doll Making.

[Phone]

Nt,

 

Well, I've followed this and I must say to each his own. However, In your quest have you contacted the glass manufacturers directly. The glass factories are really fascinating and most are extremely small. They have toy marbel molds down to at least as small as a "BB" (you guys know what a "BB" is?). You can get machine "blown" ones very small too. I just thought they were for lampmakers. The are used to working with "artists and craft" people on a one on one basis.

 

Describe what these "glass beads" are, or look like. Hollow, solid, clear, exactly round? Lots and lots of cottage industry glass makers in Southern NY, SW Ohio, and West Virginia.

 

It may be the connection you are looking for. Heck, I don't know what you call them "glass factories"? I have no idea how to "hook you up"

@ Newt.... thanks for dropping in....We are talking of quantities of around 30kg bulk.

Have looked into Ebay and the largest bulk pack is 10kg.

 

@ ayjay....ethnic dolls exist but the simple truth is they are not popular.

There are also others such as Horror, gothic and primate.

 

 

Well if the price suits you on Newts link buy six lots, cheaper postage on the other five. Or ask to do a deal he/she can only say no.

 

Cheers Fred

Fred - the seller mentioned in the listing that people interested in larger amounts can contact him directly and I assume there should be a decent price break.

I have been in contact with an Ebay seller and we are currently negotiating a price.

 

Glass manufacturers say that my orders are too small...

 

Guys thanks for all the input, help and comments.

Just thought I would show you the latest creation from my Wife.

 

 

 

 

 

She is called Angel and listed for sale on Ebay.

I already have 4 watchers in the hour she has been listed.

 

Now doesn't she look realistic?

 

@ Newt-----If the Ebay link is not allowed I will remove it---just put it on so people can see her as advertised.

No problems with the link. I am always amazed at how real those dolls look and that one is beautifully done.

I was slightly bored one evening and so created some unique poses.

 

 

Some are finished and some are part reborned...

 

 

 

 

 

Party on...

She is good. I assume the "eyes closed" cost less with no need to add the actual eyeballs but since infants spend quite a bit of time that way, it shouldn't be a problem.

I think the eyes were open until they hit the funny fags.
