This listing is for baby Huxley created from the “Princess Huxley” sculpt by Andrea Arcello. Huxley has a cloth body with full vinyl limbs. She is about 22” with slightly bent legs and weighs about 6 pounds. I have weighted her with enclosed fine glass beads and poly-fil so that she can hold her head up in a sitting position- since she is an awake baby, but is also slightly floppy. You can turn her head and limbs for posing.
I took pictures at various times of the day in different places to try to capture how she looks in different lighting, so you will see some differences in skin tone in my pictures. She has a fair complexion with subtle mottling like an older baby. I shaded thin skin areas and added veining and other details to give her a lifelike appearance. Her nails have painted tips and have been sealed. She has medium brown painted hair. Her dark brown eyes are glass imported from Germany and are framed with applied upper lashes and painted lower lashes. I have sealed her vinyl to protect the paint with a soft varnish, so she still feels smooth and added gloss in places typically moist. She has a strong magnet inside for her pacifier and should be kept away from sensitive electronic devices such as pacemaker.
I am really pleased with my little Huxley. I painted her to look like a younger baby than most versions of Huxley I have seen since she fits 0-3 months- 3 months clothing- however there were some flaws in the vinyl of nearly all Huxley kits. This includes two slightly rough spots in the vinyl on her head- you can see it a little in certain lighting, but it does not stand out. There also is a little vinyl tag up inside the nostril from the molding of the vinyl. Again this is not something easily noticed. While not flaws in the reborning, they are there and if I were a buyer I would want to know. If these are not issues you can live with, please pass her up.
She will come with her certificate of authenticity, art studio birth certificate, care instructions, magnetic pacifier, sleeper, vintage cotton dress and wool crocheted sweater(shows a bit of age, but has charm too, some hand crafted headbands, along with a diaper, and a blanket that is not pictured. The glass bottle and other items are props and are NOT included. PLEASE NOTE that the wool sweater was hand washed in Woolite and retains a bit of the scent from the detergent. If this will bother you please notify me right away and I will not ship it and add something else of my choice instead.
Please note that she is an art doll, not a child’s toy or meant for extended play. She is neither intended for, nor safe for children. Baby was created in my smoke and pet free studio.
