Colliii.com:  Hello Rosa,congratulations on your nomination for the Colliii Awards 2009. Why don´t you tell us a little about yourself.

Rosa: Thank you! Well, my name is Rosa Bayes and I come from Barcelona in Spain. Like most women and mothers I have a passion for babies and that is one of the reasons why I love Reborn dolls.

Colliii.com: How did you first get into Reborn dolls?

Rosa: After raising my own children I found Reborn dolls on the internet. I decided to find out more about them and how to make them myself and thats how I progresively got into Reborn dolls. As I have progessed with my doll making I have found out the importance of buying the best quality products. Its important for me that I use the best, for example I don´t save on the babies clothing or the presentation because all of that contributes to the end product. A Reborn is only as good as the materials it is made from, and of course how much love is put into it!

Colliii.com: How was it to be nominated for the Colliii Awards 2009?

Rosa: I didn´t have enough time to register for the Colliii Awards in 2008, so I made an extra effort for the 2009 competition. It took a long time to get my doll Chloe ready for the competition. I worked on her almost the whole summer!. But I was so happy that she was nominated and I would like to thank all those that voted for her.

Colliii.com: How did you decide to create Chloe, why did you choose to enter the "Michelle" kit from Evelina Wosnjuk?

Rosa: I love the kit and I got inspired because Evelina Wosnjuk is such a great artists.

Colliii.com: What is the is the Reborn market in Spain like?

Rosa: Well there are more and more people doing Reborn dolls in Spain, but Reboring dolls is still not that well known. But slowly and surely it is getting more well known and we are all getting better.

Colliii.com: What have you got planned for the future?

Rosa: Well I hope to keep improving and get better. And of course I am hoping to win a Colliii Award this year!

Colliii.com: Well we certainly wish you all the best for the competition and for the coming year too! Thanks for your time Rosa.
