Yes, you are. Thanks so much

Hi I have a Rita Rich preemie solid silicone kylie , she is about 14 inches long and a real cutie , thing is she's very bald .

I took these pics when I brought her and unfortunately she has shed most of this hair now ...





I was wondering about removing the very last straggly bits she has and maybe rooting her some more ?

can you give me some tips for rooting silicone please , ie which needles , I have some wonderful mohair from slumberland nursery which is the nicest i've had and very fine , I know she's only litle but I thought it could be a little project for me and if I mess it up I can always remove it ?

Thanks in advance xx

Hi Catherine
i know you will get expert advice from here but i just got to say i just love rooting silicone.
You need to make sure its rooted deeper than a reborn though because as you know there is nothing to seal it in. Like you say if you dont like it you can always remove it.

Hi Catherine, rooting silicone is easy peasy, first you need to remove all the other hair, use tweezers for the stuborn ones. We use a fine sewing needle with the eye cut in half thus leaving a U shaped opening but a fine felting needle will do the same job. Its just a matter of taking your time and doing it thoroughly, there is no other skill needed, we love doing the rooting and you should have no problems, if you do please contact either Janet or myself and we will try to help out, Carol

I have pics if you need them, just email me ok,

Thanks so much ladies I really appreciate it

I know she only has a wee head but I thought it could be a little project for me , I won't give her too much hair what with being a preemie I think a big old head of hair would just look odd but i'll give it a go soon I think .

Thanks again xx

Silicone Ruby by marissa may Hi I need so help I do not know a thing about by marissa may silicone babies & i have been offered a silicone kit Rudy but i would really like her paint & her hair done who can do this for me or what paint can you put on a silicone Ruby that with take all the would mean a lot to me Thank you

I'm not sure what comes with the kit anyway, I know when you buy a kit from Melissa you get the paint included, best to check on that first,

oh ok Thank you I'm waiting on a email with pic's & i hope more info all i was told as i have been looking all over for a very new born looking baby was a email to a lady who was selling a silicone Ruby kit i do not know what she has with this it as as im not buying right from Melissa that's why i ask who or how could i have this baby painted & hair done if she does not come with paint

I got a question, Can any one get a baby made into silicone. I mean say I wanted to get Marie made into silicone could I do it?? and how much would I be looking at in cost and wait,

Hi Veronica, no Im afraid its not that simple, you would have to have permission from the artist before you could have a silicone made.

Thanks Susi. this takes some serious thinking about. Say I did have the permission. how much are we talking about to get just one baby doll done.

It would depend on the size of the baby but it is a very expensive project for one baby as the moulding and casting prices are just the same as they would be for an edition, is it an ooak you wanted doing????

Susi it is my reborned vinyl baby in the middle of my siggy pic, my beautiful Marie, she has been reborned from an Antonio Juan doll.

I doubt if you would get permission Veronica as they are mass produced, you would need to contact the company
