Hi, I'm Stephanie Sullivan, the artist at HunnyBuns Nursery.  I love doing this!  I'm committed to this art form which I discovered in the fall of 2002 on Ebay.  I was so smitten with my first sight of a Reborn Baby Doll that I immediately set out to learn the techniques.  I've been an artist most of my life, dabbling in various arts and crafts.  But until I found reborning, I never felt I'd found my 'niche'.  I give God the glory for giving me this gift which I enjoy using to bring joy to others.  I'm a born-again Christian and member of a local Vineyard Church. 

I've taught myself some of the methods that I use; others I've learned through excellent online classes such as Simply Reborn.  I now teach reborning techniques to classes held by International Reborn Doll Artists and the Secrist Doll Co., and have given private lessons locally as well.  

Since the art of reborning dolls is relatively new, it's an evolving art form - and each artist has the freedom to explore and create ever-changing techniques that best suit the result they are trying to achieve.  For me, that means producing the most realistic "baby" I possibly can.  However, there are times when I also enjoy exercising "artistic license" by making a doll more along the lines of the old French Porcelains, or possibly even a toddler or fantasy baby from time to time.  The possibilities are only limited to my imagination!

If you're interested in one-of-a-kind sculpted polymer clay dolls, I have a special surprise for you!  I recently took up sculpting and have really enjoyed learning this thrilling and ultimately creative art form.  Click on the link at the bottom of any page to go directly to the OOAK Sculpted Babies.
