Pearl of a Girl Nursery
Reborn Dolls by Tess Tucker
"I see a girl who looks like a pearl. A pearl of a Girl."
David and Lisa by Theodore Isaac Rubin
I am only taking customs from kits that are 21" or smaller. I also do not offer rooted hair.
You can completely customize your baby from their complexion, birthmarks, milk spots, scratches, or anything else you can think of. In contrast to the many artists who prefer complete creative freedom, I am happy to work with you and make your baby exactly how you want it. I keep you involved every step of the way through work-in-progress pictures and videos. I assign myself one doll a month, and your doll will be completed by the end of your assigned month. I order my custom based on the first to complete all payments.
The total payment for the doll is due before I order the kit, and the shipping cost is due afterwards when I am ready to send your little one home. I do offer layaway. Shipping to the US is normally about $25.
Without any extras, what you are buying at the base price is a painted, assembled doll complete with weighting, rooted eyelashes, a magnetic pacifier, and a nice outfit to come home wearing. COAs are included for babies from limited edition kits and every baby gets a birth certificate. I sign the cloth body with the date the doll was completed.
Please note that I will not be interested in painting just any kit. I typically will not paint a Bountiful Baby kit, a kit known to have grayish or difficult vinyl, or a kit that I've painted several times. This is only to assure that you will be recieving my absolute best work, with a workable canvas and a kit that inspires both of us to picture your dream reborn doll!

Extras
Layettes cost a minimum of $50. Whatever you decide to send for the layette budget, that is how much I will spend buying brand new clothes for your doll. You even have a say in what kinds of things I should focus on buying, and rather you are more interested in quality or quantity.
If you are an artist as well as a collector, you can get $15 off any of my reborning tutorial books. It will ship with your doll!
Discounts
I do offer some discounts. If you are on YouTube and have 1,000 subscribers or more, you'll save $25 on my artist fees because its fantastic advertising for me! If you are a local customer (I live in Virginia) who can come over to pick up your doll, you save $25 because I don't need to package the doll for shipping. And finally, I occasionally have giveaways on my YouTube account and if you have won one of these, you get $50 off my artist fees! Discounts are stackable, but you can not recieve more than $100 off a doll.
If none of these discounts apply to you, please do not ask for any.
This is a business and it is very expensive to keep up on paints and other supplies.
