About Me

My photo
Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
Ciao! My name is Elisabetta Monari and I'm an artist reborner. My passion for dolls and art started in childhood, and the love for children soon after. I combined them in reborning, the art of creating still shots of infancy, tridimensional portraits achieved with many layers of translucent paint on a "doll canvas" sculpted by another artist. I'm also trying my hand at doll restoration, reborn restoration and sewing BJD outfits, for a change... this is my creative time, stay tuned for more!!! :D

The Tutorial

I was asked to write a tutorial about reborning with acrylics by an Italian magazine, "La Bacchetta Magica".
http://www.labacchettamagica.it/

Of course I was very honored by the request, and mostly enthralled by the implications: reborn one of my babies for the public, under a constant photo shoot!
My husband was game to take the pictures, and little Isabella was the result of a couple of weeks worth of work!
Personally I think she's lovely, but I'm very biased with this baby. She looks a little like me in a very old and faded baby picture...

Here for your enjoyment are some pictures I decided not to include in the tutorial. To get 54 pictures for the article we took about 500!

Hmmm... are we ready? Is everything in place? Is my huge pregnant belly covering the shot???

Smile to the press!!!
Work in progress...
I think you may want to see more of the end results now!
Here is Isabella all put together and in her Sunday best!

And... what do you think of my new atelier?
More pictures of my new dolly room and atelier to follow!!!!
