I have purchased from this artist three times previously. I love this artist!
For a while she was selling some Reborns I did not like at all. But now she’s putting out some beautiful, high-end limited editions! But now I am wondering if she was experimenting for a while with different types of paints and colors, and possibly trying to reduce her supply of open edition Reborns. Because now she appears to be more focused on selling high-end limited editions. She is an excellent artist and has sold many Reborns in the past, which were mostly open editions and in the $400 range. I purchased Kimberly and Michael from her! Beautiful artistry!
I have Kimberly for sale right now. I plan to list Michael too but will wait until my new Primrose Reborn arrives to be sure he is exactly what I am expecting! He looks great in the photos but until I see him in person, I don’t want to list my favorite open edition, Michael! My goal has been to have a collection that is all limited editions. Kimberly and Michael are my last open editions. I have sold all of the others. I do have one limited edition also listed for sale, Kovu, only 800 made. The artistry and rooted hair are excellent but he is soooooo tiny! Like, smaller than a premie! He’s just not for me. But I won’t sell him at a huge loss. If I cannot get my currently listed price for him, which is already at a loss, I’ll just keep him as part of my limited edition collection.
Here is the listing for Kimberly and Kovu. I paid $575 plus $25 shipping for Kovu and paid $345 plus $25 shipping for Kimberly. I paid $375 plus $25 shipping for Michael. I will likely list him for $349 plus $30 shipping. To me, if the artist was to make another Kimberly or Michael today, she would sell them for well over $400 now. I always charge $30 for shipping because I use the USPS large flat rate box, which is $25 and I insure it for the selling price, which usually adds about $4 more. Unfortunately the economy isn’t so great right now so the Reborns aren’t selling as fast as they previously were. But it’s just a matter of time before the right buyers come along. There is no hurry to sell them. It is just a matter of patience.
My current listings:
Maybe she recognized her abilities as an artist and decided it was time to bring her talent to the next level. Just a guess. I just know that, in the past, most of her Reborns were open editions and very few were limited editions. I did get my Kodi Bear boy limited edition from her but only paid $599 plus $25 for shipping.
My other limited Kodi Bear, a girl, was custom made by a different, but very high-end artist, and I paid $1050 plus $50 for shipping.
My Kodi Bear boy has painted hair so he would be worth a bit less than my Kodi Bear girl, who has beautiful blonde rooted hair. I would love to send my Kodi Bear boy to get rooted hair. At some point I’ll look into this.
Well, coming soon! Primose Asleep limited edition; only 1250 sculpts made!
