Joseph was made using the Joseph Realborn kit which is a 3D replica of a real baby. His lifelike painting was done using Genesis Heat Set Paint, baking each layer to cure. He is sealed with GHSP satin/matte varnish as well as air dry matte varnish for a softer touch. He was glossed in the right areas to mimic wetness. He was assembled using fine glass beads in the arms and legs up to the elbow, then stuffed with poly-fil and sealed closed. he also has pouches of fine glass beads in her torso area and his head to add weight in the right areas, as well as poly-fil and cluster stuff. Cable ties were used for added strength. He has full arms and legs on a cloth body. He has a magnet inside on his mouth so he can take a magnetic pacifier. * He is approximately 18 inches long. * He weighs 4 pounds. * He was reborn on July 31st, 2017 at 11:29 am.
He has rooted hair and eyelashes. I took Jacky Kramer's rooting class at the ROSE doll show 2017. His hair is mapped and rooted following Jacky's micro-rooting class instructions. Jacky also rooted his eyelashes herself during her eyelash demonstrations for the class.
