Each kit that we will have produced will be a LE (Limited Edition) of 250 kits ONLY!

My first kit under my artist name, J.Lynn, is currently in China in the mold phase of her production. Her prototypes are expected around the last part of February and the kits are to be in around the end of March.

Prototypes will be reborn by Wanda of Bushel and a Peck Nursery.

I'd like to welcome Dawn McLeod to the team as well. Dawn's first kit will be named Rhea, in memory of her baby sister. Thank you, Dawn!!!

Dawn's work includes gorgeous little OOAK (one of a kind) miniature babies on eBay, as well as a mini series of babies soon to be released by Ashton Drake Galleries this Spring 2008.

Between myself and Dawn, we have 6 kits planned for this year, possibly more. We will see!

Be sure to check back frequently to see what is going on with our work.

Blessings,

Jamie :)

]]> Original Art Doll Collecting - What should I buy?? tag:blessedbeginningsartdolls.com,2007:/blog//1.2 2007-12-03T00:39:19Z 2007-12-03T00:42:12Z What is the difference between clay, resin, and silicone?*Clay: This is an original sculpture that will not ever be reproduced.

*Clay: This is an original sculpture that will not ever be reproduced. It is a OOAK (One of a Kind), meaning he/she is the ONLY ONE in the entire world.

Clay babies are intended for the adult collector and not intended as a child’s toy. It is extremely fragile and can cause a choking hazard in small children. These dolls are meant for display.

*Resin:  This is a reproduction of an original clay sculpture. Usually in a limited edition. It is a very detailed and hard material. It is not very breakable…but care should still be taken. Meant for display purposes. It can be handled by small children with adult supervision.

*Silicone: This is a reproduction of an original clay sculpture and cast into a Limited Edition of anywhere from 5-15, with 1 artist proof. This type of baby is not breakable whatsoever. It is very bendable and flexible. These are the best babies to pick up and snuggle.

Which one should I buy?

If you are looking for something for display purposes only, then either  Clay or Resin will do. These are great for passing down as a family heirloom.

If you are looking for the “touch” and “feel” of a real baby and be able to love and snuggle the baby, then silicone is the medium for you.  Silicone babies are the most durable of the 3 materials. Their hair is meticulously rooted and you can even gently wash their hair from time to time. Very poseable and soft to the touch…silicone is by far my favorite of the 3!
