  Coloring

Christina was painted in my very own 3-dimensional technique in multiple layers that
I have developed during the past 5 years since I have been making special doll creations now.
 Fine  pores, veins and even capillars complete the realistic appearance of her skin.
Many different realistic skin tones and shades were used to make her look like a real preemie.

  Using a special newborn technique all over her skin gives her the perfect illusion
of a living creature. The special paints I  work with are used in the German doll industry
that is well-known for its high-quality standards. By combining a special activator
together with the paints they will stay permanent and never fade.

   Body and Hair

Christina’s arms and legs were weighted with the tiniest glass beads and permanently
sealed afterwards. Her custom made jointed doe-suede dollbody was completly filled
with baby fat that makes her soft and cuddly while holding her in your arms.
I only use a very soft but dry quality of the squishy pellets that will not stick together
at any time.

The cloth of her body has a very special texture that feels like real skin. Once holding
this sweetheart you will never want to give her out of your arms again!

Only the finest quality of Angora mohair of was micro-rooted into her head  by using
 German 43g ultra-micro-rooting needles. The head was completely sealed from the inside.
You can wash, comb and style her hair now in the way you prefer.

  Eyes, lips and nose

Christina used to get fine hand-rooted eye-lashes of the finest mohair available.
 Her nose was carefully opened and dark-backed.
 It was sealed with a soft shining permanent vanish. Also her lips have been sealed
 permanently after being painted in different thin realistic layers.

   Baby’s layette

Christina will come home with a new custom made lace outfit from Germany togehter with her little jointed mohair bunny.

   About the artist  

My name is Carmen Sommer and I am the artist behind Once So Real.
I studied arts and was always interested in drawing and painting. I started reborning
more than 5 year ago and was one of the first reborn artists in Germany.

As I am a perfectionist regarding creating lifelike baby dolls it always takes a very long
 period of time until I have finished a baby. This is why you will seldom find my special
creations on ebay, but mainly at international doll exhibitions.

The prototype of Christina was presented at the International Doll and Teddy Festival
in Sonneberg / Germany where I used to be part of the judgement of the first
German Reborn Competition.

Last year we started producing an exclusive line of exceptional reborn doll kits
together with my dear friend and partner Lynne Bollhoefer of Dolls So Real
and Christina is the very first preemie-baby of Petra Lechner.

I hope you will love this little sweetheart as much as I loved to reborn her!

Special thanks to my dear friend and business partner Lynne who is one of the nicest
and loveliest persons I ever met in this wonderful doll world!

Thanks also to my dear friend Petra Lechner for the great friendship and
for those wonderful creations, your babies are truely a real work of art!

Many greetings from Germany!
