Ugh. If a woman has a common hobby, she's basic. If she has an uncommon hobby, she's crazy. If she has no hobbies, she's boring. You can't win because the game is rigged. Do you. Reborns aren't really for me. But I can see the joy they bring you, and that's awesome❤
Yep 💯 women can’t have joyous hobbies that are in any way childlike unlike men that can have “toys” of any kind including Legos, and figures. They treat us the same in music fandoms too calling us crazy while they can cry and scream when their favorite sports team doesn’t win… the patriarchy sucks.
As I was scrolling through my home page on TH-cam, I saw this video as a recommendation. Your face looked so joyous and happy that I decided to click on the video, just to see your vibe, completely irrespective of the video content (I had only heard of Reborn Dolls in passing before). I am now commenting after only about 6 minutes to say: I am genuinely completely baffled that people can take such issue with seeing you do something that makes you happy. I'm honestly struggling to even understand how this could be so divisive. Whether people find them uncanny or not, this is your own personal hobby and that should be respected. I have never lost friends over the things I love, like collecting little Disney figurines or watching too much Star Trek, and I think this is the exact same concept, just a different vein of it. I'm so glad you haven't allowed other people's close mindedness to shut you down ❤
Thank you so much! This comment made my day! I will say that the friends I lost were not the most accepting about other things (had made some vaguely homophobic/racist comments in the past), but I am autistic and find it very hard to make and keep friends, so I clung onto them for longer than I should have. I don't have much of a friend group anymore but the ones I do have are very precious to me, and we celebrate each other FOR our differences, not in spite of them. My husband collects Lego ❤️
@@rebornsofjess everyone has a hobby and every hobby should always be accepted, and I’m glad I finally found my hobby that allows me to express myself! My boyfriend collects hotwheels ❤
I started collecting baby dolls after my husband passed away and I have no idea why! But my kids think I’m bonkers but they’ve accepted it. I’m of an age now where other people’s opinions don’t matter AT ALL! You younger gals will get there. Jess, your husband is a gem! 😊
Hi Mary, Condolences to you and your family on the loss of your darling husband. I too came across and started collecting reborns after my husband passed away. I had a memorial baby made to look like my hubby as a baby and I haven't looked back since, even having learnt the art of it...
I agree 💯%! I'm 62 and want to collect. My kids don't approve either. I too am old enough to make my own decisions and if I want a doll, I'm going to get one❣️
Call my simple minded but I do NOT understand how someone would have a problem with someone ellseeeee buying or collecting things that aren’t harmful and make them happy.
Jealousy and the socialized view that women shouldn’t have hobbies that are childlike unlike men that can have dedicated LEGO rooms or favorite sports teams while if we are dedicated fans we are “crazy” and a lot of women have internalized misogyny to think that we are nutjobs or psychopaths when we like something not 100% subservient WOMAN things.
This is my first time commenting, I used to find reborns a bit weird until a few weeks ago your videos popped on my feed and I started to appreciate the art and effort the arts put into these dolls. ❤ Do what makes you happy.
Literally have no idea how or why your shorts started appearing for me but I was immediately fascinated…I am also an artist so seeing you paint so beautifully and realistically and seeing the end result, is incredibly impressive and just wow. Also you seem so sweet and ur energy is a joy to watch!!! I will never understand people being dismissive of “weird” hobbies. You are an interesting and talented person I am so sorry anyone especially “friends” made you feel otherwise…especially since you don’t really chose your hobbies when it comes it art…I think they chose you!! And making something beautiful can never be a bad or wrong thing. Keep doing what you’re doing!!! We love to see it!!! Please make some more long form videos on the process!!
Hey Jess!! thank you so much for this video! When I was 14 I was obsessed with reborns & dreamed of making my own, but had eventually fallen out of the hobby. I found your channel a couple of months ago on TH-cam and since then I’ve bought two babies, bought a costume, and have another in the making! Im currently saving so I can add a beauty made by you to my collection. However, you inspired me to begin reboring and I just started my first baby! I love hearing your story as well, I have manic depression, and I’m on the spectrum so I can relate to you so much! When nobody else understands, I love that I can flock to your channel and feel a sense of Safety & comfort! 🩷🩷
My favorite TH-camr!! I realized toward the end of the video that I had had a smile on my face the whole time I was watching you! Your gorgeous smile and energy are contagious! Thank you for being here!! ♥️♥️
I love watching your videos! I crochet monster baby dolls (think baby werewolves and the Bamfs from X-Men) and I had never even considered trying something more realistic before. These look absolutely amazing!
This brought back so many memories from my childhood. When I was about 13 all of my "friends" had moved on from toys and dolls but I hadn't. I remember asking my parents if it was weird that I still liked playing with dolls at my age and both of them said "no" but the societal pressure I felt led me to throwing away all of my dolls and conform myself to all of the superficial interests my "friends" had at the time. Part of me regrets doing this because I feel like if I had just given myself some time I would have naturally grown out of dolls at my own pace. But at the same time I'm also really happy with all of the childhood dreams that I have accomplished now at 30 years young 💕
My friendships are complicated. I have a twin and when we had our first day of school when we were 4, my sister made a friend. We were so united at that point that her friend also became mine. All of the friends my sister’s friend became my sister’s friend therefore my friend. Then when I was 11 because of Covid 19 they split the classes up at break time which is when we saw each other. I sat by myself every break until people came up and asked if I wanted to play. One day I would play football with the boys one day I would play a game with the group of girls and another day I would chat to this girl who at that point was my friend. We left that school to go to secondary school and I only went with me, my sister and one of the friends she made through her other friend. We were all in different classes. We met outside at break but when they both started making friends I ended up sitting by myself in my class. There was an occasional friendship that never lasted because people thought I was weird but mostly I would sit there and eat and then just stay seated in loneliness. Finally around 6 months ago, I made proper friends. It makes me so happy and even happier to think that they are now at a point where I can CALL them my friends. :) ❤
I can totally relate to that. I still played Barbies and with my dolls and Playmobil etc. Because my family told me to finally grow up and have grown up hobbies like doing sports and date and hang out with friends I didn't have, I turned to the Sims. This is my dollhouse until now. I'm 30 now. When my kids are out of the house, I will start playing again with dolls. I won't tell anyone because I don't want to embarrass my kids. I will do this just for me.
Same, I got away with it for a bit longer since I have younger sisters but eventually they also grew out of it. Video games have kind o filled that spot now. Dress up ones and such.
I have a collection of almost 200 Bratz dolls as well as random toys I've always felt kind of weird telling people about it. I would never judge you for your dolls 💔 I think you have amazing talent, and I envy you for your skills. That's not something many people would be able to do! They aren't cheap for a reason!
I have reborns and like you they make me happy. I am a manager of a shoe store and the only employee here. One of my boy babies is here with me and everybody loves him. If they think I'm strange oh well I'm being me. God bless all reborn baby moms and dads
Thank you for posting. If your ex friends couldn’t accept you for who you are then your babies did you a huge favor. I have two reborns. Love them and love dolls. I’m 65 and yes I still have my Barbies. Sending you love and hugs.
Wow! You’re lucky that you still have your barbies! My mom got rid of all mine! I was still enjoying all of my barbies and baby dolls when I was a teen! I didn't care what others thought! My mom did let me keep one baby and I had her up until 2014. But someone broke into my house and stole a bunch of stuff! I even had a few of the New Kids On The Block dolls! Lol. I miss my stuff, and I still love my dolls! I have one reborn at the moment!
Aww it was so nice hearing your story and how you found this hobby. Of course, my favorite part is knowing that your husband (then boyfriend) was so very supportive of you. It warms my heart how your dad came around to the idea of it and how it takes pride in you being an artist. I love that for you!
You are a beautiful person with an amazing talent. I want to get a reborn one day and if any of my friends think I am crazy or quits being my friends well then they weren't truly a friend. You have gift for reborning and these beautiful babies bring joy and comfort to so many people. Even if they creep out a friend or family member that's their issue but its shouldn't effect how they feel about you. I am glad to hear your parents came around to your craft and collectibles. You're amazing and look forward to seeing future projects!
It's so lovely to come across an english reborn youtuber! I often feel a little alone with my reborn hobby living in the uk and have never really come across an English TH-camr that collects reborns. Kind of made my day! 😊
Do what you enjoy! You don’t have to explain or justify to anyone except maybe your husband! Block haters! You don’t have to respond to every comment or criticism! God bless and your dolls are beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing your story I loved hearing it and hearing how you became the artist and reborn collector you are now!! ❤ I also love how you share the consequences as well because not a lot of people think about them! 🙏💕
Thank you for sharing your experience. It is always great to hear what people enjoy. (I think anyone who had such love of dolls throughout their life was born creative.)
Idk what it is that feels different for me between the collecting (makes me feel weary/confused) vs the artistry (so fascinating and beautiful) but its obviously something people enjoy/need so thanks for sharing the process w us!
You popped up on my feed as I was scrolling & it was your video about a dolly that you had been carrying around for comfort but it was your beautiful face that had me check out what your video was all about … you have such a comforting friendly humble joyous vibe & now watching this video made me sad how anyone would be bothered by a hobby that is absolutely pure love 💗 I have a few things I struggle with myself due to my past & have always loved Disney Movies & I have a reborn baby & a silicone baby but never got to truly “bond” as they weren’t what I my heart had hoped they would be .. I love them but never bonded & just put them up .. me & you would be best of friends I believe. You have such a pure loving soul & you don’t need acceptance bcos God makes no mistakes & you’re perfect exactly the way he made you. Love all your dollys & your hobby is amazing & wish I could learn to make them 💕🫶🏻🙏🏼💗
I like your way of explaining and using them for your mental healt. I am autistic aswell and unable to work or do volunteer work. I am currently looking into waldorf/natural fiber art dolls because they speak to me more then a reborn. Some have less facial features which makes them more 'safe' for me. I love yours story on why it is so hard when people don't get it or want you to make money off it.. I don't want to make money (not even allowed), I just want do something as a replacement for 'work'.. just to be busy or create something I am happy about without the 'pressure' of selling.. I rather gift it or have it on display. I will try to keep following you.
#1. You are so charming! #2. I love your accent #3 I’m so happy to hear how the Hobby has helped you. I too have found they have helped me as well. God bless you beautiful girl & keep smiling! You’re absolutely adorable!❤
I really love your channel. I have been interested in a reborn to help with my healing process. I had a miscarriage in 2014 & also another just last year. My last one was a baby boy and I was so hurt at the loss of him. I am happy you posted your website because I do not want to get scammed. Thank you for sharing your story.
I just love ur videos and ur dolls r amazing and I have really bad anxiety and depression my dolls help me so much specially when I had a heartattack just over a month ago so iam glad to be here so iam now going to start taking my doll out places and my husband backs me up and great to have such support specially by ur husband keep the videos coming❤❤❤❤❤
Your story and everything around and about it sounds like mine (i also got my 1st one in lockdown - i was in isolation for 2+1/2mnths, then just lockdown for mnths after, even aftr lockdown eased) - now i hav 6. I was also called many things, but i also hav friends who say its not for them, but they are happy if it makes me happy and helps my anxiety etc. you keep going. And i love seeing your babies! I also love the Sam sculpt - i wanted 1 but culdnt afford it
❤Sam is one of my favorites as well and for the longest time I've been looking for the one and I prefer for him to have blonde hair,most seem to have dark hair.I can see why you and your husband Love him so much, he's Beautiful!🙂🎅🎄⛄"HAPPY HOLIDAYS!❤️🙏
“My dad took me coming out to him as bisexual better than me coming out to him for collecting reborns.” That sentence made me pause. As a queer youth, hearing that hurt my heart. You being your genuine self doesn’t hurt anybody, whether bisexual or your hobbies. How he treated you at the start and how your friends treated you is beyond unfair. I’m sorry you had to go through that. Sending you a digital hug. 🫂 You’re valid and your videos always make me smile. Keep being you.
I just found your channel. I also have subscribed. I love the story of how you got into the hobby. I got into the hobby in the summer of 2020. I have always always loved baby dolls! Reborns are the cream of the crop!! Can't wait to to see more of your videos. Take care. 💕
High five from one happily pet free person to another………………… also, I’m not a reborn doll collector, but I’m a dollhouse & miniature person, so I think it relates.
Your husband is so right. You do you and ignore anyone who hates on the idea. It’s your money, they’re not paying for anything so they have no right to an opinion. I lost a lot of ‘friends’ when I became housebound due to illness. I know it’s not the same but your true friends accept you as you are. ❤
Im MUCH less scared of these gorgeous works of art than the kids toy ones. Even real babies scare me, but Id be happy to hold one of these! People need to realize how wonderful these are even if not up to personal taste. They help people who mourn, or just wanna enjoy them! Me personally I love them and their content as Im just blown away by the artistry it takes to make one.
I’ve always loved baby dolls and when I was about 13 and found out about reborn dolls I was obsessed.. me, my mum and brother never had a huge amount of money so getting one was never an option. We suffered from abuse from my biological father and I’ve always had such bad anxiety.. I’ve always had a love for children and babies and the realism of a reborn doll just really captivates me! I’m 18 now and secretly still love baby dolls… I got mine down from our attic the other day which I had when I was younger and I really enjoyed giving them a hug and putting some of the warmer clothes I had for them on. It was a really relaxing experience and truly calmed me down. I’d love o talk to some people who feel similarly and don’t judge.. I don’t know whether I’d ever actually be able to get one of these dolls as I’m scared I’d get judged by my mum and especially my nanny, who I’m assuming would just laugh or say that I’m becoming more of a child xxx
That is a hobby that I can see myself do. I have total respect for your craft. It would be great if there were some sounds of baby cooing on a reborn. Good job and great southing voice you have on your videos with that beautiful smile.
These are a true work of art…. Art however is very subjective I love reborn’s and found they helped so much with my residents with dementia and those just needing a hug from a baby again… when I tried them in my elderly home the results were amazing for calming, physical exercise and mental wellbeing what’s not to love? X
Enjoy your videos and rare topics, gets the attention of your viewers. Hoping in the future you can do a honest video start to finish painting a doll, a lot of time there is little things left out, that could help a new artist be more confident in Their Finished baby. But just learning to work with the paints of course is probably the biggest problem to overcome. Thanks for a great personality even when there is controversy, there always going to be negative no matter what we do.😊
I love Gudrun Legler babies. One of my first that I bought was Mathis by Gudrun. He is my husband's favourite of all my reborns that I've bought ready made. All her babies are gorgeous. When I eventually started to paint my own, I used air dry paints and made a lovely one that looked like one of my grandsons as a baby, but now it's all faded and I don't know why. I have others to paint, but daren't as I don't know how to prevent it happening again. Your babies are gorgeous 💞
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and getting to know more about you and your experiences with this hobby. It was so informative and relatable. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing you on the RAP Podcast. I’m very bad at keeping up with schedules & events due to white mater damage areas on my brain. It’s normal in aging but mine is worse due to life long chronic migraine syndrome and traumas. So I hope I don’t miss it live. Good luck with it. I’m so looking forward to meeting your hosts at the Yophi Doll Show in December. My hubby bought me tickets for my birthday #59!! Everyone will love you so don’t be nervous. Just be sweet wonderful you!
I don't think collecting reborn dolls are weird, I don't even like reborn dolls but I love BJD dolls with semi realistic appearance because I love dress up games since I was a kid. I think your reborn dolls are so cool, it's not a weird hobby at all but an unique one, don't listen to people who judge you. Keep doing what makes you happy :)
I have the dress up game of the century for you, Style Savvy: fashion forward. I'm pretty sure its only on 3ds but its so worth it, I'm heavily addicted.
@@misopeachy Wow I actually never heard that game before, it looks interesting but sadly I don't have Nintendo 3Ds 😭 But I recently played Live Makeover and I'm so addicted already
My husband and i needed to spend a couple days at a hotel that is across the street from where i work so that i am able to make it to work. (Due to bad roads from the snow. ). The first thing i put in my over bight bag was one of my reborn babies. They give me comfort and i feel less anxious. I dont really care anymore about what people think about it. Im also using my husband youtube accout while relaxing at the hotel
I loved your video! We have a few things in common! I love baby dolls! Always have! But my mom wouldn't let me keep most of them! When I did the baby class in high school, I loved it! It cried and you had to feed it, rock it, change diaper..but my mom said it was too expensive to buy her! I was disappointed! Later, I found out that I couldn't have kids! So, once I found out about the reborns, I was obsessed! My daddy bought me a few of them! Two of them was drink and wets! Unfortunately, we had a house fire and they were all burned! I also lost my daddy! Thankfully, he passed away before the fire! Those people aren't true friends if they can't accept your hobby! My best friend never cared that I still liked dolls when we were teens and even now, she doesn't care! My hubby is supportive as well!
My first reborn baby is arriving tomorrow, I’m so excited. And I’m at the stage where my mom made me promise her I’ll just get one lol let’s see if I can keep that promise. 🤞🏻
I collect oracle card decks. Most of my family doesn't approve. But i love doing readings and collecting. We are adults. It's good to be unique. Do what gives you joy.
Hi Jess, hope you are well. I guess that your mum's experience of your art explains very well my fascinación with what you do. I have never had baby dolls but I just find how you work on your dolls and make them look human amazing! I have to say I find it utterly bizarre rejecting someone for a harmless hobby. I know it too well because of people being repulsed by my exotic pets and saying utterly vicious things about living beings that I love. One thing I have learnt is being a bit "weird" is an excellent selecting tool. I don't think I want such judgemental and unkind people in my life so I am glad they saw themselves out. X
@@rebornsofjess aww! I love snakes! I have royal pythons, a dwarf boa 3 ksbs and tarantulas. Oh, some flower beetles and emerald cockroaches too! I just love a lot of the things that other people find gross and creepy I guess!
Heyyy I’m Annie from New Brunswick Canada…and I, too, collect dolls. I’ve had a few Barbie’s but regrettably sold them in a Yardsale. I do have 4 or 5 real Reborns and a few knockoffs because I can’t work due to medical reasons so my money is very scarce. I have not yet bought a silicone for the simple reason they are too delicate. I have subbed to your channel
Your channel showed up in my feed (I don’t know why)? Because of the joyous look on your face I clicked on it. I’m not into the hobby you’re into, I collect sewing machines and all the sewing supplies 😜 I’ve had some people tell me that I have too many machines (they are all vintage) I simply respond: this is my hobby and it brings me happiness and My husband is okay with it. I say, you live your life for you 💞
How do you tell real from fake? Also, I got two open eye reborns from goodwill for 7 bucks apiece. Thrift stores do NOT realize what they're selling. I only have those two, but I love them. One baby was done differently than usual. One of them might be a knockoff though, and I don't know how to tell, other than that whoever put her together didn't weight her. Knockoff or not, I love her, but I would like to know how to tell.
My family criticizes me and makes me feel like shit for my dolls. I’ve been hearing “ ur too old for dolls” since I was 12!!!! I’m almost 31 now!!! I use her for cuddle therapy and she helps my mental health! And she reminds me of my dead son back when he was a baby!
I do watch your videos and love your work!! I want one of your babies someday!!❤❤ do you find yourself wanting to try silicone babies? I think you would be awesome. ❤❤ i enjoy your positive and smiling face !! I loved meeting your husband and the shorts you do together ❤️ ❤️ and loved your wedding!! Im so glad this grew to where it is now to show those so called friends how happy and prosperous youve become!!❤❤❤
I thought about getting a temu silicone but they look so fake I don't think I could bond but I don't know. I lost my daughter and have such a need to hold something close to my heart. Maybe one day I'll find a way. It doesn't matter what people think. If it fills a need so be it do it. I love your video's & babies, your face is so joyous.
This is so fabulous! Thank you for your honesty, I can relate to your story so much. I’ve always loved dolls but reborns came into my life when I was really struggling with my infertility and wanting a baby of my own. My mom always complains about the price and says I’m “wasting” money but how can you put a price on mental health?? You can’t take it with you so what am I going to hoard money for?
I also started collecting reborn dolls in 2021 . Because they help with my dyslexia and anxiety and my epilepsy . So I understand . I'm wanting to take mine out on outtings . My mom afraid someone will make fun of me . Because I have always been bullied. They help me a lot . I only have two . I want to add more to my collection .
I think it's okay to have weird hobbies, but I would get concerned about it being an unhealthy coping mechanism for loneliness, especially since you mentioned feeling alone at the beginning of this hobby. But you seem to have found new friends through this hobby so good for you :)
Im astounded that it's such an issue! I wouldn't blink at someone telling me that had a reborn. People collect many items that give them joy! It's a bonus of they have MH benefits too. When did we become so critical of others? If something makes you happy and is legal, doesn't hurt others then live and let live. Your smile shows your joy and that's beautiful.
Maybe because I'm an older sister but I have always loved caring for babies, I volunteered to help my mom as a kid whenever I got a chance. This was to the extent one of my younger sisters started calling me "mommy-la" a play on "mommy" and my own name. I was always "mom" when my friends and I played house but of course we grew up and that was no longer cool. When I was around eleven or twelve my younger sisters were now more independent and no longer needed that type of care and I was also "too old" to play with dolls. It was like I lost a important part of who I was. A way I showed my affection and love in a household where hugging and words of affirmation was uncommon. My family then moved and It was around this time I got diagnosed with General Anxiety disorder and Depression, the only healthy coping mechanism I had was petting and laying with my cat for hours. But my cat is a living animal who doesn't like being held and only wants to be pet for so long. My mental health got worse and worse over the next years and I was really struggling when I started holding an old baby doll at night and it was so calming, I found out about reborns and I desperately wanted one. I did my best to find an authentic one that I could personally afford with my saved money but was unable to convince my mom. She did eventually concede with a weighted plush doll which is nice. Holding it helped replace more dangerous coping mechanisms. I was actually Diagnosed with ASD around this time and I thought maybe that would help push my family to accept that I wanted one but no. Three years later and I'm still trying to convince her, it might have to wait until I'm eighteen next year at this point. It does hurt my feelings that its seen as creepy and weird, that they would rather try and make me find any other type of coping strategy then do one thats unconventional.
Also, be yourself you don’t need them you have all of us your fans and subscribers. You don’t need people that don’t respect you and care of what you like. Your husband are very sweet he loves you. How are you? Are you don’t you have him and you don’t need anybody else but yourself Pookie ❤❤❤❤❤
I do! Hopefully soon! Honestly I don't know whether I'll continue collecting, I don't think I'll sell them but I will likely not interact with them as much. Hard to tell until I actually have a baby. I have PCOS though so it's likely my fertility will be affected.
I have a reborn and he is a Fake reborn because I Just Loved the pictures He was my first and I Love him so much but in November im going to a reborn Festival and im scared of the reactions of the real artists because you can see that it's a Fake reborn but I (I Just bougth I haven't painted him) I Love your Videos
Ugh. If a woman has a common hobby, she's basic. If she has an uncommon hobby, she's crazy. If she has no hobbies, she's boring. You can't win because the game is rigged.
Do you. Reborns aren't really for me. But I can see the joy they bring you, and that's awesome❤
Yep 💯 women can’t have joyous hobbies that are in any way childlike unlike men that can have “toys” of any kind including Legos, and figures. They treat us the same in music fandoms too calling us crazy while they can cry and scream when their favorite sports team doesn’t win… the patriarchy sucks.

I will say that the friends I lost were not the most accepting about other things (had made some vaguely homophobic/racist comments in the past), but I am autistic and find it very hard to make and keep friends, so I clung onto them for longer than I should have.

I think these dolls are so cool 😎 I would love to get one though admitting I did think they were creepy at first now I just think they're 🥰 adorable

Hi Mary, Condolences to you and your family on the loss of your darling husband. I too came across and started collecting reborns after my husband passed away. I had a memorial baby made to look like my hubby as a baby and I haven't looked back since, even having learnt the art of it...
I also started collecting after my mom died 3 years ago.
I agree 💯%! I'm 62 and want to collect. My kids don't approve either. I too am old enough to make my own decisions and if I want a doll, I'm going to get one❣️
Call my simple minded but I do NOT understand how someone would have a problem with someone ellseeeee buying or collecting things that aren’t harmful and make them happy.

I don't make or collect reborns, but I adore your channel, your honesty and openness makes me smile.

This is my first time commenting, I used to find reborns a bit weird until a few weeks ago your videos popped on my feed and I started to appreciate the art and effort the arts put into these dolls. ❤
Do what makes you happy.

Aww thank you so much!! I will definitely try to keep up the long form ❤️
Same here! Thanks
Hey Jess!! thank you so much for this video! When I was 14 I was obsessed with reborns & dreamed of making my own, but had eventually fallen out of the hobby. I found your channel a couple of months ago on TH-cam and since then I’ve bought two babies, bought a costume, and have another in the making! Im currently saving so I can add a beauty made by you to my collection. However, you inspired me to begin reboring and I just started my first baby! I love hearing your story as well, I have manic depression, and I’m on the spectrum so I can relate to you so much! When nobody else understands, I love that I can flock to your channel and feel a sense of Safety & comfort! 🩷🩷
Oh my goodness this is such a beautiful comment to read ❤️ I'm so glad I've helped in some small way!
My favorite TH-camr!! I realized toward the end of the video that I had had a smile on my face the whole time I was watching you! Your gorgeous smile and energy are contagious! Thank you for being here!! ♥️♥️
Aww this is such a wonderful comment to read ❤️ screenshotting it to add to my folder of best comments
I love watching your videos! I crochet monster baby dolls (think baby werewolves and the Bamfs from X-Men) and I had never even considered trying something more realistic before. These look absolutely amazing!
This brought back so many memories from my childhood. When I was about 13 all of my "friends" had moved on from toys and dolls but I hadn't. I remember asking my parents if it was weird that I still liked playing with dolls at my age and both of them said "no" but the societal pressure I felt led me to throwing away all of my dolls and conform myself to all of the superficial interests my "friends" had at the time. Part of me regrets doing this because I feel like if I had just given myself some time I would have naturally grown out of dolls at my own pace. But at the same time I'm also really happy with all of the childhood dreams that I have accomplished now at 30 years young 💕
I regret selling some of my Barbies/Polly pocket at car boot sales, I had a few that would be worth quite a bit now 😅
@@rebornsofjess SAME! I had no idea the Erika doll from Barbie Princess and the Pauper was si freaking expensive until a couple of months ago 😭
My friendships are complicated.
I have a twin and when we had our first day of school when we were 4, my sister made a friend. We were so united at that point that her friend also became mine. All of the friends my sister’s friend became my sister’s friend therefore my friend. Then when I was 11 because of Covid 19 they split the classes up at break time which is when we saw each other. I sat by myself every break until people came up and asked if I wanted to play. One day I would play football with the boys one day I would play a game with the group of girls and another day I would chat to this girl who at that point was my friend. We left that school to go to secondary school and I only went with me, my sister and one of the friends she made through her other friend. We were all in different classes. We met outside at break but when they both started making friends I ended up sitting by myself in my class. There was an occasional friendship that never lasted because people thought I was weird but mostly I would sit there and eat and then just stay seated in loneliness. Finally around 6 months ago, I made proper friends. It makes me so happy and even happier to think that they are now at a point where I can CALL them my friends. :) ❤
I can totally relate to that. I still played Barbies and with my dolls and Playmobil etc. Because my family told me to finally grow up and have grown up hobbies like doing sports and date and hang out with friends I didn't have, I turned to the Sims. This is my dollhouse until now. I'm 30 now. When my kids are out of the house, I will start playing again with dolls. I won't tell anyone because I don't want to embarrass my kids. I will do this just for me.
Same, I got away with it for a bit longer since I have younger sisters but eventually they also grew out of it. Video games have kind o filled that spot now. Dress up ones and such.
I have a collection of almost 200 Bratz dolls as well as random toys I've always felt kind of weird telling people about it. I would never judge you for your dolls 💔 I think you have amazing talent, and I envy you for your skills. That's not something many people would be able to do! They aren't cheap for a reason!
I have reborns and like you they make me happy. I am a manager of a shoe store and the only employee here. One of my boy babies is here with me and everybody loves him. If they think I'm strange oh well I'm being me. God bless all reborn baby moms and dads
Oh wow! I'd love to come into a store and find a reborn to look at ❤️
Thank you for posting. If your ex friends couldn’t accept you for who you are then your babies did you a huge favor. I have two reborns. Love them and love dolls. I’m 65 and yes I still have my Barbies. Sending you love and hugs.
Wow! You’re lucky that you still have your barbies! My mom got rid of all mine! I was still enjoying all of my barbies and baby dolls when I was a teen! I didn't care what others thought! My mom did let me keep one baby and I had her up until 2014. But someone broke into my house and stole a bunch of stuff! I even had a few of the New Kids On The Block dolls! Lol. I miss my stuff, and I still love my dolls! I have one reborn at the moment!
Aww it was so nice hearing your story and how you found this hobby. Of course, my favorite part is knowing that your husband (then boyfriend) was so very supportive of you. It warms my heart how your dad came around to the idea of it and how it takes pride in you being an artist. I love that for you!
You are a beautiful person with an amazing talent. I want to get a reborn one day and if any of my friends think I am crazy or quits being my friends well then they weren't truly a friend. You have gift for reborning and these beautiful babies bring joy and comfort to so many people. Even if they creep out a friend or family member that's their issue but its shouldn't effect how they feel about you. I am glad to hear your parents came around to your craft and collectibles. You're amazing and look forward to seeing future projects!
It's so lovely to come across an english reborn youtuber! I often feel a little alone with my reborn hobby living in the uk and have never really come across an English TH-camr that collects reborns. Kind of made my day! 😊
Do what you enjoy! You don’t have to explain or justify to anyone except maybe your husband! Block haters! You don’t have to respond to every comment or criticism! God bless and your dolls are beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing your story I loved hearing it and hearing how you became the artist and reborn collector you are now!! ❤ I also love how you share the consequences as well because not a lot of people think about them! 🙏💕
You are incredibly talented and some of the babies you show on your videos are just adorable, do what makes you happy ❤
Thank you so much for your videos! They're truly so relaxing and your positivity and bubbly personality make them so nice to watch 🩷🩷🩷
I love your long form content! Your channel is a big inspiration of mine, and hearing your story was great ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your experience. It is always great to hear what people enjoy. (I think anyone who had such love of dolls throughout their life was born creative.)
Thanks for sharing Jess... love getting to know ppls reasons of why they are in the hobby of reborns and how they come across reborns...
Idk what it is that feels different for me between the collecting (makes me feel weary/confused) vs the artistry (so fascinating and beautiful) but its obviously something people enjoy/need so thanks for sharing the process w us!
You popped up on my feed as I was scrolling & it was your video about a dolly that you had been carrying around for comfort but it was your beautiful face that had me check out what your video was all about … you have such a comforting friendly humble joyous vibe & now watching this video made me sad how anyone would be bothered by a hobby that is absolutely pure love 💗 I have a few things I struggle with myself due to my past & have always loved Disney Movies & I have a reborn baby & a silicone baby but never got to truly “bond” as they weren’t what I my heart had hoped they would be .. I love them but never bonded & just put them up .. me & you would be best of friends I believe. You have such a pure loving soul & you don’t need acceptance bcos God makes no mistakes & you’re perfect exactly the way he made you. Love all your dollys & your hobby is amazing & wish I could learn to make them 💕🫶🏻🙏🏼💗
Sorry I rambled but just know you’re an Amazing human 💗
You’re an absolute joy! Definitely love your videos. ❤
I like your way of explaining and using them for your mental healt.
I am autistic aswell and unable to work or do volunteer work. I am currently looking into waldorf/natural fiber art dolls because they speak to me more then a reborn. Some have less facial features which makes them more 'safe' for me.
I love yours story on why it is so hard when people don't get it or want you to make money off it.. I don't want to make money (not even allowed), I just want do something as a replacement for 'work'.. just to be busy or create something I am happy about without the 'pressure' of selling.. I rather gift it or have it on display.
I will try to keep following you.
#1. You are so charming! #2. I love your accent #3 I’m so happy to hear how the Hobby has helped you. I too have found they have helped me as well. God bless you beautiful girl & keep smiling! You’re absolutely adorable!❤
Thank you so much!
If I was a lot younger(I am 90 years old) I might start thinking about ReBorn Dolls as a pastime. Greetings from New Zealand.
I wish you could have one. I think it's never too late.
I really love your channel. I have been interested in a reborn to help with my healing process. I had a miscarriage in 2014 & also another just last year. My last one was a baby boy and I was so hurt at the loss of him. I am happy you posted your website because I do not want to get scammed. Thank you for sharing your story.
There is something so beautiful and inspiring about people passionate about something❤❤❤P.S. Your voice is very beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing your story and experience 💜
Your dad's correct. You're one of the best reborn artists I've come across ❤️
I really enjoyed this video Jess. Thank you for sharing with us xx ❤❤❤
I just love ur videos and ur dolls r amazing and I have really bad anxiety and depression my dolls help me so much specially when I had a heartattack just over a month ago so iam glad to be here so iam now going to start taking my doll out places and my husband backs me up and great to have such support specially by ur husband keep the videos coming❤❤❤❤❤

BEAUTIFUL DOLLS ❤
BEAUTIFUL Babys ❤
The reborn babies are beautiful, i haven't got any. I would love to have several lol.
This is a lovely video Jess xx 😊
Your story and everything around and about it sounds like mine (i also got my 1st one in lockdown - i was in isolation for 2+1/2mnths, then just lockdown for mnths after, even aftr lockdown eased) - now i hav 6. I was also called many things, but i also hav friends who say its not for them, but they are happy if it makes me happy and helps my anxiety etc. you keep going. And i love seeing your babies! I also love the Sam sculpt - i wanted 1 but culdnt afford it
I love everything about you and your hobby, Thank you for sharing so much of your talent and life with us. Happy New Year! :)
Your husband is WOW. You're very lucky to have him in your life. 😍
And my impression from watching you - with your joyful smile and open-hearted nature, is that he is very fortunate to have you!
I believe I heard that hubby is biologically a female 😊. And that’s fine but why hide it ?
You seem like such a sweet person, I Love your babies.
You are such a sweet person.
I love dolls! Your hobby is awesome! I wish I could visit you. Thanks for the info on where to get one and not get scammed.
❤Sam is one of my favorites as well and for the longest time I've been looking for the one and I prefer for him to have blonde hair,most seem to have dark hair.I can see why you and your husband Love him so much, he's Beautiful!🙂🎅🎄⛄"HAPPY HOLIDAYS!❤️🙏
“My dad took me coming out to him as bisexual better than me coming out to him for collecting reborns.”
That sentence made me pause. As a queer youth, hearing that hurt my heart. You being your genuine self doesn’t hurt anybody, whether bisexual or your hobbies. How he treated you at the start and how your friends treated you is beyond unfair. I’m sorry you had to go through that. Sending you a digital hug. 🫂
You’re valid and your videos always make me smile. Keep being you.
Thank you ❤️ my mum had a much harder time accepting my sexuality, which surprised me! I wish everyone could just be themselves ❤️
I just found your channel. I also have subscribed. I love the story of how you got into the hobby. I got into the hobby in the summer of 2020. I have always always loved baby dolls! Reborns are the cream of the crop!! Can't wait to to see more of your videos. Take care. 💕
Awesome! Thank you!
High five from one happily pet free person to another…………………
also, I’m not a reborn doll collector, but I’m a dollhouse & miniature person, so I think it relates.
Your husband is so right. You do you and ignore anyone who hates on the idea. It’s your money, they’re not paying for anything so they have no right to an opinion. I lost a lot of ‘friends’ when I became housebound due to illness. I know it’s not the same but your true friends accept you as you are. ❤
What an excellent video, you were so informative. Thanks for posting xx
Because of you I collected reborns I really want one of your painted dolls that u made bc you do such a good job at vignal reborns 😊
Im MUCH less scared of these gorgeous works of art than the kids toy ones. Even real babies scare me, but Id be happy to hold one of these! People need to realize how wonderful these are even if not up to personal taste. They help people who mourn, or just wanna enjoy them! Me personally I love them and their content as Im just blown away by the artistry it takes to make one.
You are a charming and inspiring young lady. I learnt how to fill a cuddle body from watching one of your videos.
I'm glad I could help!
I’ve always loved baby dolls and when I was about 13 and found out about reborn dolls I was obsessed.. me, my mum and brother never had a huge amount of money so getting one was never an option. We suffered from abuse from my biological father and I’ve always had such bad anxiety.. I’ve always had a love for children and babies and the realism of a reborn doll just really captivates me! I’m 18 now and secretly still love baby dolls… I got mine down from our attic the other day which I had when I was younger and I really enjoyed giving them a hug and putting some of the warmer clothes I had for them on. It was a really relaxing experience and truly calmed me down. I’d love o talk to some people who feel similarly and don’t judge.. I don’t know whether I’d ever actually be able to get one of these dolls as I’m scared I’d get judged by my mum and especially my nanny, who I’m assuming would just laugh or say that I’m becoming more of a child xxx
It was interesting to hear about how you got into the hobby 😃❤️
That is a hobby that I can see myself do. I have total respect for your craft. It would be great if there were some sounds of baby cooing on a reborn. Good job and great southing voice you have on your videos with that beautiful smile.
Wow, they really do look so real!
These are a true work of art…. Art however is very subjective I love reborn’s and found they helped so much with my residents with dementia and those just needing a hug from a baby again… when I tried them in my elderly home the results were amazing for calming, physical exercise and mental wellbeing what’s not to love? X
Thank you for explaining how you got into this! Very interesting
I love how I get your vids on my feed like I would never collect these or anything but like YOUR JOY
Aw this comment made me smile so much!
Enjoy your videos and rare topics, gets the attention of your viewers. Hoping in the future you can do a honest video start to finish painting a doll, a lot of time there is little things left out, that could help a new artist be more confident in Their Finished baby. But just learning to work with the paints of course is probably the biggest problem to overcome. Thanks for a great personality even when there is controversy, there always going to be negative no matter what we do.😊
I have dolls too and it's totally fine and normal if it brings comfort and happiness don't worry about the haters.❤
I collect model horses, you do what makes you happy regardless. 💜
I love Gudrun Legler babies. One of my first that I bought was Mathis by Gudrun. He is my husband's favourite of all my reborns that I've bought ready made. All her babies are gorgeous. When I eventually started to paint my own, I used air dry paints and made a lovely one that looked like one of my grandsons as a baby, but now it's all faded and I don't know why. I have others to paint, but daren't as I don't know how to prevent it happening again. Your babies are gorgeous 💞
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and getting to know more about you and your experiences with this hobby. It was so informative and relatable. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing you on the RAP Podcast. I’m very bad at keeping up with schedules & events due to white mater damage areas on my brain. It’s normal in aging but mine is worse due to life long chronic migraine syndrome and traumas. So I hope I don’t miss it live. Good luck with it. I’m so looking forward to meeting your hosts at the Yophi Doll Show in December. My hubby bought me tickets for my birthday #59!! Everyone will love you so don’t be nervous. Just be sweet wonderful you!
Hello. Came across your channel. My daughter is 17 blessed with down syndrome and collects reborn babies. She is obsessed ❣️
I don't think collecting reborn dolls are weird, I don't even like reborn dolls but I love BJD dolls with semi realistic appearance because I love dress up games since I was a kid. I think your reborn dolls are so cool, it's not a weird hobby at all but an unique one, don't listen to people who judge you. Keep doing what makes you happy :)
I have the dress up game of the century for you, Style Savvy: fashion forward.
I'm pretty sure its only on 3ds but its so worth it, I'm heavily addicted.
@@misopeachy Wow I actually never heard that game before, it looks interesting but sadly I don't have Nintendo 3Ds 😭 But I recently played Live Makeover and I'm so addicted already
@@chibi_okami I just looked up Live makover and omg the graphics are so pretty!
Hi Jess new subscriber from Australia. I found the chat very interesting and am looking forward to more video's. Thank you so much. ❤
My husband and i needed to spend a couple days at a hotel that is across the street from where i work so that i am able to make it to work. (Due to bad roads from the snow. ). The first thing i put in my over bight bag was one of my reborn babies. They give me comfort and i feel less anxious. I dont really care anymore about what people think about it. Im also using my husband youtube accout while relaxing at the hotel
I loved your video! We have a few things in common! I love baby dolls! Always have! But my mom wouldn't let me keep most of them! When I did the baby class in high school, I loved it! It cried and you had to feed it, rock it, change diaper..but my mom said it was too expensive to buy her! I was disappointed! Later, I found out that I couldn't have kids! So, once I found out about the reborns, I was obsessed! My daddy bought me a few of them! Two of them was drink and wets! Unfortunately, we had a house fire and they were all burned! I also lost my daddy! Thankfully, he passed away before the fire! Those people aren't true friends if they can't accept your hobby! My best friend never cared that I still liked dolls when we were teens and even now, she doesn't care! My hubby is supportive as well!
My first reborn baby is arriving tomorrow, I’m so excited. And I’m at the stage where my mom made me promise her I’ll just get one lol let’s see if I can keep that promise. 🤞🏻
I collect oracle card decks. Most of my family doesn't approve. But i love doing readings and collecting. We are adults. It's good to be unique. Do what gives you joy.
I am acquiring my next two silicone babies and I am so excited. I would love to be your friend we can share our reborn adventures together! 🎉
Hi Jess, hope you are well. I guess that your mum's experience of your art explains very well my fascinación with what you do. I have never had baby dolls but I just find how you work on your dolls and make them look human amazing! I have to say I find it utterly bizarre rejecting someone for a harmless hobby. I know it too well because of people being repulsed by my exotic pets and saying utterly vicious things about living beings that I love. One thing I have learnt is being a bit "weird" is an excellent selecting tool. I don't think I want such judgemental and unkind people in my life so I am glad they saw themselves out. X
100% agree with all of this! What pets do you have? I have a corn snake!!
@@rebornsofjess aww! I love snakes! I have royal pythons, a dwarf boa 3 ksbs and tarantulas. Oh, some flower beetles and emerald cockroaches too! I just love a lot of the things that other people find gross and creepy I guess!
Heyyy I’m Annie from New Brunswick Canada…and I, too, collect dolls. I’ve had a few Barbie’s but regrettably sold them in a Yardsale. I do have 4 or 5 real Reborns and a few knockoffs because I can’t work due to medical reasons so my money is very scarce. I have not yet bought a silicone for the simple reason they are too delicate. I have subbed to your channel
Your channel showed up in my feed (I don’t know why)? Because of the joyous look on your face I clicked on it. I’m not into the hobby you’re into, I collect sewing machines and all the sewing supplies 😜 I’ve had some people tell me that I have too many machines (they are all vintage) I simply respond: this is my hobby and it brings me happiness and My husband is okay with it. I say, you live your life for you 💞
I love this ❤️❤️❤️
My husband has asked, how many sewing machines do you have?
How do you tell real from fake?
Also, I got two open eye reborns from goodwill for 7 bucks apiece. Thrift stores do NOT realize what they're selling. I only have those two, but I love them. One baby was done differently than usual. One of them might be a knockoff though, and I don't know how to tell, other than that whoever put her together didn't weight her. Knockoff or not, I love her, but I would like to know how to tell.
My family criticizes me and makes me feel like shit for my dolls. I’ve been hearing “ ur too old for dolls” since I was 12!!!! I’m almost 31 now!!! I use her for cuddle therapy and she helps my mental health! And she reminds me of my dead son back when he was a baby!
I do watch your videos and love your work!! I want one of your babies someday!!❤❤ do you find yourself wanting to try silicone babies? I think you would be awesome. ❤❤ i enjoy your positive and smiling face !! I loved meeting your husband and the shorts you do together ❤️ ❤️ and loved your wedding!! Im so glad this grew to where it is now to show those so called friends how happy and prosperous youve become!!❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I have been tempted to try silicone painting but don't really have the space right now. Maybe one day!!
I thought about getting a temu silicone but they look so fake I don't think I could bond but I don't know. I lost my daughter and have such a need to hold something close to my heart. Maybe one day I'll find a way. It doesn't matter what people think. If it fills a need so be it do it. I love your video's & babies, your face is so joyous.
Your reborn dolls are wonderful and so is your attitude to life. Ignore the trolls btw
This is so fabulous! Thank you for your honesty, I can relate to your story so much. I’ve always loved dolls but reborns came into my life when I was really struggling with my infertility and wanting a baby of my own. My mom always complains about the price and says I’m “wasting” money but how can you put a price on mental health?? You can’t take it with you so what am I going to hoard money for?
I also started collecting reborn dolls in 2021 . Because they help with my dyslexia and anxiety and my epilepsy . So I understand . I'm wanting to take mine out on outtings . My mom afraid someone will make fun of me . Because I have always been bullied. They help me a lot . I only have two . I want to add more to my collection .
I think it's okay to have weird hobbies, but I would get concerned about it being an unhealthy coping mechanism for loneliness, especially since you mentioned feeling alone at the beginning of this hobby. But you seem to have found new friends through this hobby so good for you :)
Im astounded that it's such an issue! I wouldn't blink at someone telling me that had a reborn. People collect many items that give them joy! It's a bonus of they have MH benefits too.
When did we become so critical of others? If something makes you happy and is legal, doesn't hurt others then live and let live. Your smile shows your joy and that's beautiful.
Love your video and your reborn story!❤❤
Maybe because I'm an older sister but I have always loved caring for babies, I volunteered to help my mom as a kid whenever I got a chance. This was to the extent one of my younger sisters started calling me "mommy-la" a play on "mommy" and my own name. I was always "mom" when my friends and I played house but of course we grew up and that was no longer cool. When I was around eleven or twelve my younger sisters were now more independent and no longer needed that type of care and I was also "too old" to play with dolls. It was like I lost a important part of who I was. A way I showed my affection and love in a household where hugging and words of affirmation was uncommon. My family then moved and It was around this time I got diagnosed with General Anxiety disorder and Depression, the only healthy coping mechanism I had was petting and laying with my cat for hours. But my cat is a living animal who doesn't like being held and only wants to be pet for so long. My mental health got worse and worse over the next years and I was really struggling when I started holding an old baby doll at night and it was so calming, I found out about reborns and I desperately wanted one. I did my best to find an authentic one that I could personally afford with my saved money but was unable to convince my mom. She did eventually concede with a weighted plush doll which is nice. Holding it helped replace more dangerous coping mechanisms. I was actually Diagnosed with ASD around this time and I thought maybe that would help push my family to accept that I wanted one but no.
Three years later and I'm still trying to convince her, it might have to wait until I'm eighteen next year at this point. It does hurt my feelings that its seen as creepy and weird, that they would rather try and make me find any other type of coping strategy then do one thats unconventional.
People judge too quickly,as long as you're happy and not doing any harm ,then who are they to judge .
This was wonderful ❤❤❤❤
A Furbaby is like having a child. Don't get if you are not ready for the responsibility same with human kids. I have both Furbabies and reborns ❤🐕🐶😁
You’re work is beautiful 😊
Great job! Your meant for this ❤
I don't keep reborns, but I keep tarantulas and get a very similar response. You will find friends in your community in no time, you seem lovely.
Also, be yourself you don’t need them you have all of us your fans and subscribers. You don’t need people that don’t respect you and care of what you like. Your husband are very sweet he loves you. How are you? Are you don’t you have him and you don’t need anybody else but yourself Pookie ❤❤❤❤❤
Aww thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
I get why people see that it’s creepy, but it harms no one! It’s a doll! I see no problem with it!
Lovely shares! I am subscribing!
Do you plan on having babies of your own? If so, will you continue collecting reborns?
I do! Hopefully soon! Honestly I don't know whether I'll continue collecting, I don't think I'll sell them but I will likely not interact with them as much. Hard to tell until I actually have a baby. I have PCOS though so it's likely my fertility will be affected.
Is there any way I can buy a weighted reborn (if that even is a thing?)? I just really love weighted/heavy dolls since they feel more realistic
All reborns are weighted :)
Your husband has a good choice,with the doll he chose,enjoy your channel,best wishes from a new subscriber 😊
Thank you ❤️
I have a reborn and he is a Fake reborn because I Just Loved the pictures He was my first and I Love him so much but in November im going to a reborn Festival and im scared of the reactions of the real artists because you can see that it's a Fake reborn but I (I Just bougth I haven't painted him)
I Love your Videos
