Small awl

This small awl is ideal for melting holes in your baby doll's nostrils. When the awl is hot
you can push it right through the vinyl. Some reborners believe that using the awl gives
you much better control than using a drill or Dremel tool. By repeatedly heating this tool
you can shape and sculpt the nostril openings to be much more realistic.
Used in conjunction with the paraffin candle. (see supplies)

EZ Lasher 
 
(Eye lashing Tool for Closed-eyed Dolls)

This special tweezer is used for closed-eyed babies where the eyelash must be nice and straight
to fit between the closed eyelids. Most tweezers can only grasp one hair of an eyelash at a time.
This makes it nearly impossible to hold the eyelash tight enough during installation causing the
eyelash to twist and turn every direction except the one you want it to go. This tweezer grasps
several hairs at a time because of its broad flat tip.

 Maxine Mop Paint Brushes.

Top Quality Brushes from Loew & Cornell.

1/2, 3/8 and 3/4 inch

The mop brush is one of the most popular brushes used in the reborning process. Professional
reborners recommend every artist have several of these important brushes on hand at all times.
Many steps involve the mop brush so we suggest you have three or more so you don't have to
clean the brush out after each little step.
Having several 1/2 inch mop brushes can save you time and aggravation!

Porcelain Paint Palette.

 

When mixing Genesis paints Secrist recommend that artists avoid using plastic palettes.
The strong bonding qualities of Genesis paints can react with certain plastic palettes and ruin
the paint. That's why Stephanie Sullivan uses a porcelain palette in the Secrist instructional DVD.
These porcelain palettes have a kiln fired gloss coating that will last a life time and never
wear out or react with your doll making paints.
They are also very easy to clean after use.

the original Micro-Root™ tool and needles!
You get one rooting tool, plus six pre-cut Ultra Micro-Root felting needles. The tool itself is slightly
under 3 inches long, not counting the needle. The needles that Denise Pratt uses for her Micro-Rooting,
and come with the tool are a very fine and strong 38-gauge felting needle, these needles grab
fewer hairs than the regular felting needles for that amazing Micro-Root effect!
The tool also comes with an extra collet to allow it to be used for even larger needles if you wish,
although the smaller collet works well for both 38 gauge and 36 gauge felting needles.
