Jean Ruth Campbell I love Pat, not only as a sculptor and creator of beautiful dolls, but also as a person. She welcomed me into her home when I wanted to learn to sculpt. I sat beside her for seven days sculpting, laughing, and learning. She made me feel like family. She even gave me […]

Was there ever a time when we all roamed free? That’s not a theoretical question, like “If a tree falls in a forest,” etc. I mean, the self-isolation seems to be entering Year 10 rather than just hitting the one-month mark.

Pat Moulton’s Pork Chop Kit Gives Reborning a Leg Up

DOLLS Magazine Contributor — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 15:16:00 +0000

I have been reborning since 2004, and I remember what a challenge reborning was back then. In order to create a lifelike baby doll — there were no reborn kits at the time — a reborner had to customize manufactured dolls. I used the JC Toys Berenger dolls, Ashton-Drake dolls, and just about any baby doll I could get my hands on. The dolls were not made from soft vinyl; the heads were hard, making rooting hair even more of a challenge.
