Wish to stop a moment in time... Wish to hold on to your most special memories, literally, physically, forever. Your wish is my command.

About Me

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

As promised...

... the big news!
Please welcome the arrival of Ivan, my son! Ivan was born on April 23rd. Mommy, Daddy and big brother are very happy and proud of him.

Ivan's birth brought with it a huge bout of creativity... new life seems to do that to me, it happened when I had Alessio as well.
I spend my evenings and nights, when Ivan sleeps, working in my atelier... last night I burned my finger with the hot glue gun at 1.30 am.
This room has become the heart of the house for me... it's still a work in progress, but now I can attend my projects in here instead of just organizing the place.
Where's the real doll?
Actually, the real doll is in the first two pictures, in the stroller... this is my reborn collection, or at least part of it. It's exciting having all of them out of boxes. I haven't enjoyed some of these babies in years, and it's time for a makeover for some of them.



That may be a good project for tonight at 1.30 am. ;)
