Hi Jeannine, When I saw this book on ...., I could not believe it. I have been looking for so long for something with directions and pictures on how to do the layering and what it means to be translucent paint. I HIGHLY RECOMEND this book to everyone!!!!!!!!! It is wonderful and Jeannine does not leave anything out. I am so glad that I found this book and that is how I came to join this guild! I have read many, many books and directions, but they do not compair to this one. It even has pictures for the step by step directions for all the types of paint. IT'S GREAT!!! If you don't already have it, please get it! It is well worth the money! (I sound like a comercial!) Deborah --Customer

Here are some comments from some of my customers who have purchased this book.
-------------------------
3/2/2008 I truly appreciate your many, many talents on reborning. I have learned more from your research on baby skin and bringing my reborns to life than by any other method I have used and if I could reclaim the $$ invested in other purchased techniques, I could probably afford your whole system and I'd buy it in a wink! BTW-I really enjoyed the layering snippet video, thanks again-you're the best!:)! Kind Regards, Sandra

2/24/2008 Hi,We just wanted to thank you for the excellent read on mottling, it has taught us some useful techniques which we are trying out, using the sponges is hell of a lot better than the berry maker, Thank you again, we will be back very soon to purchase more from you. Kind regards, Sue & Moe

Hi. WOW WOW WOW! This was just what I was looking for.
I've just finnished the 6th layer on my unexpected arrivel and I'm amazed at the results. I must admit I was brave and mixed other colours in. Now I just need some final touches and she will be the best I've done so far. I'm very pleased with your instructions. Thanks Joy

I visited your website and nearly fainted!
I love your books. I am new to reborning and I am very excited.
I would love to buy the full set of books...

I just wanted to tell you. I have bought three of Jeannine's books. They are AWESOME. I love the illustrations, the directions, all of it. Thank her so much for sharing her secrets with others. I will be a better reborner because of her. Thanks again. Dawn

5.0 out of 5 stars Newborn Layering Techniques, February 24, 2008

By	Jeannine Holper "CreationsByJeannine" (Foster City, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Excellence in Reborn Artistry: Reborning Dolls Layering Techniques for Just Born and Newborn Skintone (Paperback)

The book promises what it delivers. The ability to learn how to apply newborn layering techniques for vinyl dolls. This is one of the most requested techniques from reborning students, so it was published seperately in it's own Case Study. For more details and techniques, in alot more pages, check out More on Mottling: and learn to create your own tools and techniques. FYI... The price is determined by Publishing costs, and Amazon's 55% margin. Thanks so much for reading...

Great Book. I tried the 6 layer method and I couldn't believe what a true to life skin tone I achieved! A thousand times better than my previous attempts!
