Mottling is the process of adding multi-colored layers of delicate patterns to create the appearance of blood flowing under baby’s skin. I put a lot of care into creating my mottling sponges because I reuse them over and over again to create gorgeous skin texture on my lifelike baby dolls.
There are a variety of suitable materials for mottling sponges, including sea sponges and bath sponges. I prefer to work with a firm cosmetic wedge which gives me more control over the pattern and more consistent results. Learn more about mottling and the entire reborning process on the Reborn with Me!

Dewy Skin medium, by Precious Little Baby Dust, is a heat-set medium that can be used to seal the paint, create lifelike skin texture and sheen for glowing baby skin. Through my tests, I found that it works fine for all of these purposes. Few notes: - Add time (not heat) for a proper cure. 15 minutes at 250 F works well for me. - Bake while wet for sheen. Let it dry then bake for matte. - I forgot to cure a piece and left it over night. It turned white like matte varnish would, but did bake clear. Where to buy it? https://www.dollsbysandie.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=10520 |

AuthorHi! I am Kim. I've been creating dolls all my life. I started stuffing cotton balls into my mom's pantyhose when I was a little girl. Now I hand-craft dolls that look and feel like real babies. Archives
