DAMIEN "The Omen" As an infant Character Idea BABY not

yes, you read that right.
i want to do a character doll and have him be based off the little boy in the classic The Omen, as well as the Remake of the same name

both of these are from the original series, the one on top is Damien from: "The Omen" and the one on the bottom is from "The Omen 2" (also the character Damien)

the new one has a child actor with just as piercing an expression on his face as well.

this is the New Damien from the remake (2006)

so, originally i wanted to make a toddler and had decided on a standard kit i think almost all toddlers can fit into and within and would look pretty awesome anyway it was made as ANY character in human form, but the kit is fairly expensive.
* ill add a different blog when i find some images of this toddler kit and these images i have posted for comparison and explain that idea i had then in that blog*

and for the most part MOST reborn collectors like..babies..
so, i had this brilliant idea come to mind to make a damian BABY..using a SCARLETT kit that has a near scowl facial expression.

2 about 2 weeks ago, while a chanel i like to watch was running the OMEN series on it back to back, it occured to me that SCARLET would make a PERFECT Damien baby...

not my work, this is the work of another reborn artist

so, thats an idea i have something special planned for the "sign of the beast" Damien has as well, but wont go into that at this moment, because im going to let that be a surprise in the photo shoot when i actually do do this as a character doll.

another ZAZZLE.com PRODUCT IVE SOLD - Baby Body Suit- EVOLUTION OF A ZOMBIE

like i mentioned in my other post, i sell more things OFF season, than when its a season (say, like halloween/october) to do with the gothic/monster/gore, or the like.

so it is with this cute baby creeper/body suite.

made a while ago when i had started my Undead Reborn Nursery, now renamed to: Gothic Reborn Nursery....

thats the one thing i really like about ZAZZLE. is your products once made (and approved) will be on there for ppl to get when ever they chose to, until you remove it, or they do, for whatever reason.

and the 2nd best thing? i enjoy the fact i make a little bit every time something sells, i have my rate set to the lowest right now, 10% of the total sale. not aloot, but if i sold everything i had created, id have a couple hundred bucks...but life isnt like that. its one penny at a time. one dollar at a time, and when ppl want/need it.

Order HERE

ZAZZLE PRODUCT I SOLD - SHARK MOUTH PACIFIER

so, occasionally, and it usually seems it happens OFF season, ill  sell something from my UNDEAD REBORN ZAZZLE STORE

i found, one morning, i had sold this...
i had originally made it for a doll im making for someone i know.
thought shed enjoy it. i published this on zaxzzle, and nearly a year later, it sold one!  hope that customer is happy, lol
would be great to see what it looked like on the child/baby!

Purchase HERE

ZAZZLE PRODUCTS IVE MADE (Baby Body Suits & Pacifiers)

i dont remember when i made these...i know it was this year (2014)

i keep images for reference

ium delighted that ZAZZLE now has black body suits, makes my Gothic side of reborning, that much more unique.
but im upset that the clothes are now fitted for larger infants. nolonger Newborn as a size, its 3-6 months as the lowest size (or at least when i made these)

craig suggested i just make t-shirts instead of these, which i could.
not sure of the sizes of those.

this ones not showing in my products, ill have to see if its saved, and then publish it. if i can, ill add the link for purchase under it.

nope. not there, not sure why...cause i saved the image from the product once i made it, i may make this again, i may not. i havnt decided yet on that.

HAD TO REDO THE SETTINGS FOR NETWORK BLOGS TO MAKE IT SYNDICATE..hopefully this works now.

had it instal a whole new widget, just to get this to syndicate.

its been over a year, since i updated anything on this particular blog, and i have some ideas i wanted to write about, toss around, walk through..just to have them out there.

this should auto feed to my Facebook page for this side of my doll work. wgich is what i have eben trying to get it to do for a while now, without any success..

but going through the steps, and adding a new widget, says it will now feed...

which is what i want.

so, hopefully, NOW..youll be updated as i post  articles i find, and things i want to do, pictures, etc..

HAPPY REBORNING!

ARTICLE _ LOOK AT THOSE CUTE WIDDLE FANGS! VAMPIRE, ZOMBIE 'REBORN' DOLLS DELIGHT COLLECTORS

Look at those cute widdle fangs! Vampire, zombie 'reborn' dolls delight collectors

When Lexi Friberg saw her baby for the first time, it was love at first sight.
“The eyes, glowing and without a pupil, really captured that vacant, infected feel for me. But the happy, smiling face juxtaposed with the black sludge coming from her mouth is what really stole my heart.”
Not exactly the words you’d expect to hear from a doting new mother. But we’re not exactly talking about normal babies.
Remember reborn babies? These shockingly realistic-looking baby dolls have captured the hearts of grown women, men and doll aficionados alike, even at a cost of up to $5,000 apiece. Add glowing eyes, teeny-tiny vampire fangs and a healthy dose of dark humor, and you're entering a whole new territory of the dark side.
Bean Shanine, owner of The Twisted Beanstalk Nursery in Bellingham, Wash., is one of several independent artists helping to fuel this new wave of zombie and vampire reborns. A former hairdresser, Bean never got into the reborn craze or even the vampire and zombie obsession fed by “Twilight” and “The Walking Dead.”

 Her entry into the underworld came while searching for the perfect Christmas gift for a friend whom Bean describes as “a bit darker.” She stumbled across a reborn kit. With a little creativity, Bean turned a normal reborn baby into a zombie baby. What better way to celebrate the season, right?

“I never in a million years thought I would be making reborns, and especially monster reborns. I don’t even LIKE monster things!” says Bean, who is surprisingly bubbly for someone who spends her day recreating undead babies. “After I made my friend her doll, I decided to make another with zombie eyes, just for fun. I listed it on eBay for $125 and it sold within 10 minutes. I couldn’t believe it.”
That was a little over a year ago, and now Bean’s business is booming. “Last year I made 50 dolls, and sold them for $650 and up. My Claudia doll inspired from the movie ‘Interview with the Vampire’ sold for $2,500.”
Lexi Friberg, a 35-year old psychology student from Dallas, Texas, is one of Bean’s best customers and has three of her dolls. “Bean has a talent for making monster babies that are subtle, not shocking or scary. She strikes a perfect balance between creepy and cute.”
Easy for Lexi to say: the self-described horror movie buff is rarely scared by zombies, monsters and the like. “If you’re a person that’s squeamish, it’s scary. To me, it’s cute! If I could adopt a real vampire child I would!”
 Lexi has 20 reborn dolls, all of whom are monster babies. Unlike many collectors of realistic looking reborns, Lexi does not treat these dolls like they are real children. “I don’t have time to care for them like they’re real babies.”

Like Lexi, the average customer of a monster reborn isn’t trying to fill a void, such as the loss of a child or an empty nest. In fact, Shanine shies away from this type of customer and tailors her creations to collectors seeking an artistic, albeit gory twist to their innocent-looking dolls.
“People who have realistic reborns buy them for all different reasons. But the ones seeking to fill a void are not my customers, and that’s the misconception. I recently had someone ask me to make them a normal-looking reborn to replicate a baby they lost. I always wonder if that’s healthy and if I’m really helping them to grieve. I have to be very careful and almost always say no.”
That doesn’t mean collecting vampire or zombie dolls comes without judgment. Bean is known as “Monster Girl,” which makes her laugh. And she has definitely fielded her fair share of angry emails.
“Your dolls are so creepy and disturbing. Such a waste of talent!” one dissatisfied non-customer wrote to her. “Why don't you put it towards something good and useful like painting prosthetic limbs?"
Lexi also understands the social stigma attached to having monster reborns, so she chooses to keep her babies indoors.
“Men are allowed to collect cars or model trains, but when an adult woman collects dolls, there’s this attitude of ‘you’re too old to be doing that.’ And when you add to it the fact that your doll is a monster, it’s way too weird. I’ve seen some comments and not everybody gets it. You have to be into the horror genre or else you won’t feel comfortable having a baby vampire at home sitting in the chair next to you.”
For collectors around the world, the reborn craze seems to be lurching steadily along. Bean is currently working on five custom orders, with one customer as far away as Latvia.
Whatever the reason for collecting and no matter the artistry involved, it’s important to remember that these really are just dolls. For instance, please don’t try to nurse your monster baby. Those fangs could really hurt.

 

ARTICLE - CREEPY REALISTIC VAMPIRE BABY DOLLS ARE IMMORTAL

Creepy realistic vampire baby dolls are immortal

Artist Bean Shanine takes ultra-realistic Reborn baby dolls and turns them into creepy creatures from beyond humanity.

 The vampire Reborns all have lifelike paint jobs, but their otherworldly origins show in their pointy teeth and red eyes. There's something very unsettling about these dolls. If you get one, you might want to sleep with one eye open.
While Shanine specializes in little bloodsuckers, she has also branched out into other areas, like zombie babies. She even created a set of "Avatar" twins with blue faces and bodies.
Owning your own monster baby doesn't come cheap. Prices vary depending on the size of the Reborn baby, whether it has open eyes, and whether it has rooted hair. Preemies start at $650. If you want to bypass the terrible twos, then a 4- or 5-year-old monster child will cost you at least $1,500. Still, that's cheaper than a real child and you don't have to start a college fund.

ARTICLE - ARTIST CREATES LIFE-SIZED CHOCOLATE BABY HEADS

Artist creates life-size chocolate baby heads

By Liz Stansfield, Jan 2, 2013

 If you're hoping to stick to a new year diet, these cakes will help you well on your way to avoiding the sweet stuff.

Artist Annabel de Vetten has created a range of life-size chocolate baby heads for chocoholics to get their teeth into.
Annabel, 41, creates the terrifying treats using melted chocolate poured into moulds. She then hand-paints each head with edible food paint to give the babies life-like features.

The cake artist from Birmingham first made the heads after receiving a commission with a specific request to 'shock people' (congrats Annabel, you certainly did it!).

But they somehow proved very popular, and Annabel has received numerous orders for the £35 heads, which each weigh just under one kilogram and contain a whopping 5,000 calories.

"The look of the heads is quite controversial but if everybody liked them then it wouldn't be as fun to make them," says Annabel.

"At first, I found them a little bit disturbing but the more of them you see and create, the more you just get used to them. I was asked to make them to shock people and that's what I've done so from that point of view, I've accomplished the mission.

"It's quite surprising really but I don't actually like chocolate that much and there had to be a lot of experimenting to get the heads exactly how I wanted them to be but now that I have I think they're great."

If you're unsure how you would actually get into the chocolate head, think of it as an Easter egg - a light tap should do it. Or, as Annabel helpfully suggests, whack it with a hammer.

Nice.

London, Jan. 2 (ANI): An eccentric artist from Washington is making a living by creating incredibly spooky zombie dolls - that are proving a hit around the world.
From vampire-like teeth to pale skin and piercing red eyes, Bean Shanine, 32, is putting up to eight hours a day to make her zombie dolls.
Shanine insists that she receives almost entirely positive comments from people on the internet about her dolls.
The mother-of-four, who lives in Washington, USA, made her first zombie doll in 2010 as a gift for a friend, who takes part in an annual zombie walk in Vancouver, Canada.
But she soon turned her hobby into a business - The Twisted Bean Stalk Nursery - and sells the creepy creations for up to 930 pounds to collectors in the UK and all over the world, the Daily Mail reported.
She said that each doll needed about 30 layers of paint and then she had to bake the doll after every single layer.
She added that after the doll's are painted she has to assemble them, add any finishing touches and root hair, and if the hair is rooted that takes about eight hours or painting the hair takes about six. (ANI)

Zombie dolls are creepy new craze that just won’t die! Artist creates 'undead babies' with vampire-like teeth and piercing red eyes

• Bean Shanine, 32, dedicates up to eight hours a day creating the babies

An eccentric artist is making a living out of the dead - by creating incredibly spooky zombie dolls which are proving a hit around the world.
From vampire-like teeth to pale skin and piercing red eyes, creative Bean Shanine, 32, dedicates up to eight hours a day bringing to 'life' her zombie babies.
Reborn dolls are often used by mothers who cannot have children, but Ms Shanine insists she receives almost entirely positive comments from people on the internet about her creations.

Her dolls have become so popular that Sharon Osbourne, wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne, was recently given one on a US chat show - with the former X Factor judge describing it as 'very very well made... but slightly disturbing'.
The mother-of-four, who lives in Washington, USA, made her first monster baby in 2010 as a gift for a friend who takes part in an annual zombie walk in Vancouver, Canada.
But she soon turned her new hobby into a business - The Twisted Bean Stalk Nursery - and sells the creepy creations for as much as $1,500 (£930) to collectors in the UK and all over the world.
She said: 'Before I gave it to my friend I put it on eBay as a test just to see what would happen with a ridiculously high price to make sure it wouldn't sell.

 

'Loads of people started asking when I would make another one as it was so good. I don't think anyone else was really making Reborn zombies and vampires at the time.
'I don't know exactly why I make zombies and vampires because I'm not a dark person at all. They're just different, there wasn't any at the time and the feedback was awesome.
'I have made more than 50 Reborn dolls and have sold every single one of them I have ever listed.
The thing which sets me aside from artists who make monster babies is that mine are genuine Reborn dolls.

'They are realistic and very tastefully done - no blood or guts - just real babies with fangs and glowing eyes. Yes they are creepy but they're really cute at the same time. 'These are expensive to make. People think the $650 starting price is high but it costs hundreds for supplies and big collectors will pay over $1500 if they really want one. 'It's like buying a painting from one of your favourite artists - they are all one of a kind. They are not toys and not suitable for young children to play with either. 'I would say a lot of work goes into making a doll look life-like and real than goes into making the dolls look scary. 'Each doll needs about 30 layers of paint and then you have to bake the doll after every single layer.

'After they are painted, you have to assemble them, add any finishing touches and root hair. If the hair is rooted that takes about eight hours or painting the hair takes about six.
'A lot of time and care goes into each one of my little monster creations.'
And even her own children don't find the bizarre playthings scary.

Freaky Baby Monster Dolls Will Make You Never Want to Have Kids

November 18th, 2012by: Technabob

If there’s one thing that’s for sure, it’s that you can find some really odd stuff if you dig around deep enough over on Etsy. For instance, while I was searching for some zombie-related items, I came across this monstrosity.

These creeptastic, realistic baby dolls are made by Washington state artist Bean Shanine of

The Twisted Beanstalk Nursery, and they’re sure to give you some freaky dreams if you so

 much as look into their dead eyes. In addition to the “reborn” zombie baby above, you can 

also find in her shop a Twilight vampire baby, complete with fangs and red eyes.

If you’re into this kind of freaky stuff, then you can “adopt” one of these babies over on Etsy

for about $650(USD). Oh, and be sure to buy some formula to feed it with. Be sure to check out more of Bean’s creepy babies over on her website.
