At Nonie's Angels Nursery, only the finest materials and supplies are used to create life like babies. Each one is created with much love and care. I take my time with each baby, nothing is rushed or hurried.

Each "baby" arrives at our nursery as a blank kit or as a child's doll. If it is a doll, it is carefully taken apart and all traces of the factory paint is removed. All kits and dolls are then given a nice warm bubble bath, then left to dry.

I use Genesis Heat Set paints as my medium to paint my babies. Many thin layers are hand applied and are heat set between each layer. Not one detail is missed, From veins, finger and toe nails, wispy eyebrows and tiny little "capillaries" in the cheeks and eyelids.

After I am satisfied with how each baby looks, I then root their hair and eyelashes, on the closed eye babies. I use the finest mohair I can find and using a tiny needle hand apply this to the baby's head one or two hairs at a time. This is very time consuming and can take anywhere from 20-40 hours. After the hair is applied, it is sealed on the inside of the head so the hair can be dampened and gently styled.

When the sealant inside the head is dry, each baby is then weighted with a variety of products varying from tiny glass beads, clean and dry aquarium gravel and poly pellets. Soft poly-fil is placed around the weighting products inside the head and body. Girl babies will receive magnets inside their heads for hair bows and pacifiers. Boy babies get one for a pacifier. You need to be cautious with these magnets as they are very strong and caution needs to be taken around electronic equipment. Especially be careful around those with pacemakers.

The babies are so cuddly that I dare you to not pat their little bums and you cuddle them. The babies little necks are floppy so you will need to hold their little heads up for them.

 The babies each go to their new home with the items listed on their page. Any additional items are props and property of Nonie's Angels Nursery.

Each little baby is unique and therefore I feel they could be called One Of A Kind. These dolls are not children's playthings but are meant for the collector. These babies are sure to become Heirlooms, passed down through families.

Nonie's Angels Nursery is a smoke-free nursery.

I am continuing to develop my techniques of newborning/reborning and therefore each baby is unique and different. Although I may use the same "sculpt", each baby is painted differently, given different hair and eye colors and dressed in clothing chosen specifically for them.

I will be adding more babies as they are completed. I also do special/custom orders so visit the custom order page to learn more about what can be done.
