This listing is for a beautiful happy baby girl created from the Shaya sculpt by Bonnie Sieben. Shaya is a limited edition kit and this baby is number 59 of 1200 worldwide. She is about 21 inches long and weighs about 5.8 pounds. This baby has full limbs, so is very fun to dress. She will wear 0-3 months in most brands. She has fair skin, with mottling, veining, blushing, and crease detailing. Areas of skin that are thin have been carefully shaded. Her nose has been shaded inside and a slight gloss added to all areas that typically appear moist such as the nostrils, inner ear, lips, mouth and the corners of her eyes. Her nails have tiny tips painted and are sealed with a very subtle shine.
She has medium brown painted hair, delicate painted brows, and applied lashes. She has premium dark brown glass eyes. I applied varnish to protect her paint so there is a slight texture. I took pictures over the course of several days at different times, so you will see some difference in her skin tone in the photos.
She is weighted using fine glass beads that are enclosed and poly-fill. Her head will need support when you pick her up, just like a real baby. She does contain a strong magnet for her pacifier, so care should be taken around electronic devices especially pacemakers. Shaya is an art doll and is not intended, nor safe for children.
Please note that I have discounted Shaya’s price because she has a small little dimple in the vinyl of her left upper arm. It is the size of a small pin- in fact looks a bit like a pin prick. The kit arrived to me with this, but I did not see it until I had started to paint. It does not in anyway impact her vinyl integrity. She is still very cute and you may not have even noticed this without me pointing it out (see picture). However, it is there- thus she is discounted.
Shaya will come with the following: Art studio birth certificate and care instructions Certificate of authenticity Magnetic pacifier Sleeper she is pictured wearing White onesie Diaper (not pictured) Tiebacks/headbands Blanket of my choice (not pictured) Other items are props and not included. Thank you for considering my version of Shaya.
