I spent the day with reborn artist and collector Jess to get a fascinating insight into the world of doll collection, turns out there was a lot more to it than I thought
Wonderful to have this art shared with us! The people that love reborned babies ...simply love babies, and anything baby related. So what is wrong with loving something as beautiful, and pure as a baby. I say embrace your passion while you can...and don't let anyone dictate how/what you should be feeling/doing. Life is so short, and you only get to go on this ride once!
I’ve been a collector for many years and I love that you did this video to share a bit of our hobby and world with others ❤. I am a mom of 5 “real” children but the dolls bring a comfort to me now that my children are teens. They are also beautiful pieces of art!
This is beautiful!!! I love so much that this was done. We are so misunderstood but as I near turning 50 in a few months I care less and less what others think of me but still worry for other people who might otherwise get great comfort and joy out of these babies. If people could just let go a little, relax and realize that it’s OK to find pleasure in different things and hold off on judgement I think we’d find we have more in common than not. It’s just a shame people can’t let down enough to free their minds a little and in return add pure and simple joy to their lives. Jess, I think you are outstanding! You’re beautiful, educated and have completely envious collection and talent. I’d be one of the kids that came and sat with you at the lunch table in school because us “weirdos” attract to each other. I think it’s a wonderful thing to find other “weirdos” because they know, they understand. I have found my safe space with my “weirdo” original family, my husband and son and a small handful of weirdo best friends. I am truly blessed by having them in my life. We embrace our weirdness without giving other weirdos a bad name. We are living life and loving it 💜 Thanks to all involved for shining this light!
I collect because I want too ! I've always loved dolls and this hobby allows me to still carry on with that love at 63 !! I have two lovely grown up children and my 36 year old daughter collects reborn and Charlie bears I go to a monthly pram meet , where I get together with other ladies and their babies for coffee, chats and a walk, We also do a tombola and raffle for charity I'm not mentally impaired ot craving another child ! I love the artistry that goes into these babies and if this hobby does help someone , why not ? And to all those faceless on line trolls and to anyone who feels they can make a nasty comment I would say shame on you ! If you don't like it scroll on by and if you have nothing nice to say stay quiet ❤
