ADOPTED..Tink by Bonnie Brown

Up for adoption is Tink. She was created using the Tink reborn kit by Bonnie Brown. She has full arms, full legs and is 18" long. I weighted her with tiny glass beads and high quality fiberfil to 3lbs 1oz. You need to support her head as you would a real newborn.

Skin Tone

I painted Tink with multiple thin layers of genesis heat set paints that are meant to last without fading or chipping. She was given realistic mottling, veining and coloring that looks so realistic and beautiful! Her paint was sealed with a matte varnish to reduce shine and protect the paint, and has a very slight soft texture.

Nails, Lips and Nose

Tink was given a new baby manicure where her nails look very natural and translucent. She was given a natural lip color that suits her beautifully. Her nails and lips were slightly glossed...not overdone, but just right! Her nose was not opened, but gently darkened and glossed, giving her the appearance of a breather. She was given a magnet in her mouth and head to take a modified pacifier and magnetized hair bows. I can remove magnets if requested.

Hair and eyes

Her hair was rooted 1-2 hairs per follicle using Delta Dawn mohair. Her eyebrows were lightly painted one stoke at a time to give the appearance of real hair. I sealed the hair on her head from the inside so that her hair can be gently combed and styled. Her eyelashes were also rooted and sealed. She was given beautiful grey/blue polyglass eyes that glance ever so slightly to the side which gives her so much personality and sweetness!! When you hold her in your arms, it looks like she is looking at you :)

Her layette includes a beautiful box opening of a:

Partial belly plate

THE END!

Coming to Life!!

I just LOVE Bonnie Brown sculpts!  They are so realistic and fun to reborn.  Tink is no exception.  This little girl is a tiny 18" when completed and is just darling!  There is still a long way to go before I complete her, but she is coming alive with every layer!

Blank sculpt vs. Painted skin tone
What a difference!!

Lighting isn't playing nice, but her hairline is coming along nicely!

One week later than planned, but this little one has a full head of hair!! Going to get her hair sealed and put her together!!
