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!

Hi Kim! I am a new reborn artist and was wondering if the mottling layers and colors are the same for caucasian babies and ethnic and/or AA babies?

Do you clean your sponges before using on another project? If so, what do you use to clean them? And congratulations on the new baby coming soon!!

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
