Human hair is an excellent alternative to mohair for large infant and toddler sized reborn dolls. In addition to creating more color, texture and length options, human hair can create a fuller-looking hairdo. However, human hair is very different from mohair, wool and alpaca, so you have to root it carefully to get a natural-looking style. 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!
