I use genesis heat set paints and varnish to protect the paint for years to come. Baby was lovingly brought to life with the utmost care and highest quality materials. He has many layers of paint and glossed and tipped nails. His hair is Painted in Dark Brown and he has light brown eyelashes rooted with high quality mohair. He is weighted perfectly with glass beads, pantyhose and polyfill stuffing. Baby will come home with his certificate of authenticity, Blanket and two outfits.
