About me

IMG_9090-1.JPG

Hi......... My name is Philomena Donnelly (Phil for short). I am an artist and self-taught doll sculptor from Ireland. I am the sole artist behind Phil's Clay Babies and Phil's Reborn Babies. I am originally from Cork City but I have been living in Northern Ireland for some time now. My husband Damien and I met each other whilst working in Germany.

We have three beautiful children, Aimee, Darryl and Sean Patrick who inspire us every single day. We also have a beautiful dog named Munchkin who we rescued from the pound.

Upon returning to Ireland I decided to take some evening art classes, portraiture being my favourite. A few years ago I stumbled upon clay babies on the Internet. I was amazed. I knew this was something I would like to try but where to start?? I had never sculpted any thing before apart from making dough craft teddies with my children. However I was captivated by the clay babies and began looking at how I could sculpt these one of a kind (ooak)babies. I eventually bought some clay and began to sculpt my first clay baby. It was only a tiny 3 inch baby nothing great but I was encouraged enough to try again. Each sculpt has been and still is a learning process. My aim is to create realistic looking babies that that can be enjoyed for generations to come.

My babies range in size from 2.5 inches right up to 24 inch lifesize babies. I am now also producing some of my babies as reborn doll kits for the ever expanding reborn market. I love seeing how the talented reborn artists can reborn each kit so differently.

More details of my doll kits can be found on my "Kits for sale" page or you can check out my world-wide Dealer page. We are also working on a new website where you can purchase my reborn kits and kits from other worldwide artists plus other reborn supplies.

 My babies have been featured in the following magazines “Discover Dolls” "Hello Dolly" and "Poppen & Teddy -Beer" for this I am most grateful.

 

 

I am grateful for the wonderful gift I've been given and I am delighted to be able to share it with you.

The mini babies on my website have all been adopted by wonderful mommies around the world.  Some of the bigger ooak babies have been adopted and others have been reproduced into vinyl reborn doll kits.

I will be adding new babies regularly so come back to see new faces. If you are interested in adopting a baby I do accept commission and custom orders.

 

My babies can be adopted from various doll collector shops worldwide and occasionally from ebay.

The kits advertised on my website are also available to buy from me.

I also sculpt custom babies, please feel free to contact me if you have something in mind.
