Hi, my
name is Tracy, I'm a mommy to two incredible boys,
my first son Joshua, was born to Heaven 17 years
ago, a year and a half later I was blessed with my
second son Zane, he's my miracle baby and has
truly grown up way to fast. He is almost 16 and
just finished his sophmore year of high school. I miss my little
boy, but I am enjoying watching my baby grow into
a wonderful young man.
I have
been married to my sweetheart, for 7 years.
John is my best friend, my prince charming and my
soul mate. We fell in love at first sight and our
love has only grown stronger over the 11 years that
we have been together. John supports my art so
completely. I know it must drive him crazy
with all of the baby parts and accessories laying
around the house, but he never complains. He's
always there to give me his opinion on each of my
babies, and his opinion is always so honest.
To complete our family we have our own little zoo, 4
dogs and 7 cats, our fur babies are like our
children, and we adore and enjoy having them
with us.
It
has been over 3 years, since I fell in love with
reborns. It was then, that me and my son
decided to give it a try as a fun art project.
I bought a cheap doll and some paints at the local
craft store and together we created Cody.
As you can
see, my talents have come along way.
However, I must say Cody is a forever baby here,
as funny looking as he is, I will never change
him, because the memory of creating him is far
more precious, than having a perfect doll.
After our
attempt at reborning, I started learning as much
as I could about this incredible art form.
My passion just continued to grow and finally
about 2 years ago, I decided to take the
plunge and invest in all of the supplies I would
need to start creating beautiful babies.
In May 2008, my first baby was adopted from
eBay. With each baby I create I learn
something new to add to my technique. I
have also taken online classes with Simply
Reborn, Excellence In Reborn Artistry and R.E.A.L. classes, along
with a Secrist class at a local doll store.
I believe there is always more to learn with
this art form, and will
continue to
find new techniques to improve on every detail
of my babies. However I am so thrilled
with how far I have come. I am very proud
of the angels I have created. I feel I
truly found the art form that captures my heart
completely. I'm able to combine my love
for babies and art together. To find an art
that I am so completely passionate over, making
these babies, watching them come to life, for me
is just so rewarding. It brings back
memories of those nights of rocking my son to
sleep, and studying every inch of my precious
baby, each line in his tiny face, each crease,
the wrinkles in his legs and his tiny little
fingers and toes. I can't begin to
tell you how much joy this hobby of mine has
brought to me. This art has helped to heal me in so many ways and to be able to share my babies with
others, just makes it completely magical.
