I AM PROUD TO PRESENT ANOTHER QUALITY LULLABY BABY FROM MY NURSERY. IF YOU DO PLAN TO PURCHASE MY BEAUTIFUL REBORN, PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTIONS AND VIEW ALL PHOTOS.
This stunning reborn baby doll was created from the kit Megan, from Bountiful Baby. This amazing little preemie is a combination of Pat Moulton and Denise Pratt. The head is by Pat and the limbs are by Denise. I have picked out the name of Willow for my sweet angel and will refer to her with that name throughout the description. Willow has all of the fragile beauty of a real preemie newborn. She has been sheer joy to work with. I don't normally do such a tiny little one but I am delighted that I decided to reborn this little doll and am thrilled with the results. This little one weighs in at about 3 pounds 12 ounces and is approximately 16 inches.
I've used only Genesis heat set paint to give Willow true life-like skin tones. I wanted to give her the skin tones of a very newborn little one. She has sweet blotchy skin tones and stork bites. I've worked on my little baby doll for many hours, days and weeks to make her this detailed. I gave her very subtle veining, sweet mottling, realistic painted eyebrows and many sweet details.
Willow represents a baby peacefully at sleep. She was given very wispy and natural looking eyelashes. The eyelids have very fine and subtle broken capillaries. The rooted hair for her lashes came from Slumberland Nursery.
I feel that Willow is truly one of a kind. Each reborn artist has their own techniques. The same kit can look so different from artist to artist. All items used in the making of Willow are new and first quality. When I hold this beautiful little baby doll in my arms I find myself rocking her just as though she were real.
One of my delights in reborning is picking out very cute clothing for my babies. I could never go into a department store without going to the baby department to look at the little outfits. Now I have a real reason to go looking and shopping for baby clothing. I have put together an outstanding layette for Willow. I am always very generous when it comes to the items I include in my auctions. Being such a tiny little baby, Willow wears preemie sizes to perfection.
I spent countless hours painting Willow with a delicate head of baby fine hair. I lay down layer and layer to build up depth and realism. Painted hair on a reborn baby doll is perfect for someone that likes to put lots of hats and caps on the dolls. The little style will always look neat and sweet. I added a layer of matt varnish to give the baby hairs a very realistic look. While I do both rooting and painted hair I love the effects I can get when I take my paint brush in hand. I can get very lovely swirls, crown and fine baby hairs. The brushes I use have only the very fewest bristles so I get a very fine line. Most people are so surprised when I tell them baby's hair is painted.
My home is completely smoke free. I try to include everything covering the making of my dolls. If you have any questions please contact me. Please be aware my doll is not meant to be a play toy for small children. Not recommended for children under the age of 13. With careful care my dolls will last for many years.
I am always very precise with the finger and toe nails. They are very realistic looking. I use a magnifier and paint them over and over until I am happy with the result. The tiny little finger and toe nails on Willow were definitely a challenge but I was very pleased with the results of all the time involved. The nail tips are a natural looking color giving the look of a sweet baby manicure. Baby's hands and feet have been blushed sweetly and each crease, fold and wrinkled has been shaded for realism. Willow has the most precious hands and feet. Willow's fingers and toes are just so precious.
Willow was given the sweetest little body. Coming from Bountiful Baby it is so well made. The arms are 3/4 jointed and the sweet legs are full length allowing for baby displayed in diaper and little top. Willow's limbs are weighted with fine glass beads. The torso is weighted with plastic poly pellets and excellent quality fiber fill. Her head is weighted with plastic poly pellets and quality fiber fill. She is a small baby doll and just melts into my arms. Her realism is amazing when held. No sand has been used in the making of the baby doll. While Willow's head is not overly floppy I would still recommend support when picking her up and putting her back down.
