Belle Bambino Nursery

First of all - one huge thank you to everyone on LLRG, especially to Willow and Sandy. I feel very honoured to be chosen to be the Featured Artist by so many other extremely talented LLRG artists . It must have been such a difficult decision, as all the babes were wonderful - so Thank You Very Much Everyone.

I found reborns purely by accident whilst browsing Ebay and became totally entranced by their reality. I have always enjoyed arts and crafts, but up until then had only painted for my own enjoyment and relaxation.

For a long time, I just studied all the reborns. I knew I had to have one, but had to find the right one!! My first was a Sheila Michael Oh So Cute AA and the minute she arrived, I was hooked. The artist, Sheila Bower, soon became one of my best friends and she pointed me in the right direction to Simply Reborn Online Classes run by Ruth Annette and Angel Mitchell. With their expertise and encouragement, I learnt very quickly, but was determined that I could do better and better. The beauty of reborning is that it is constantly evolving, there is always something new to learn and new ways to use different mediums, I just crave the challenge. Reborning has become such a huge part of my life and is very important to me. My little Bambinos are now living in Europe and America.

If I had to choose my favourite aspect, it would have to be the rooting. I was determined not to do anything but micro-root. It took a long time to master it to a standard that was acceptable to me to sell, but as my Dad always says "practise, practise, practise"!!! How true those words are.
