I use various coloring methods and artist pigments to achieve the depth of "real skin" and capture the delicate veins and capillaries on each of my babies. A thin layer of color is applied then carefully heated in order to make sure it is fully absorbed into the vinyl before the next layer goes on. As each thin layer is applied it builds upon the next while still allowing the coloring beneath it to slightly show through. I feel it is important that every baby begins with a new color palette making sure their skin tone is unique for them. As you can see the detail in Seth's coloring is amazing! His fingers and toes have been "manicured" to perfection. I used a special mixture of coloring for the blush of the nailbeds and tipped them with a soft white nail. Seth's nails have been sealed with a matte finish to prevent wear. His little nostrils have been carefully opened and his lips detailed to perfection.
I have given Seth a soft, light brown, mohair infant wig that has been securely applied and razored to a perfect infant cut. Seth has micro-rooted eyelashes the exact color of his hair and barely there eyebrows drawn one hair stroke at a time.
Seth has a soft, poseable cloth body filled with sealed poly pellets and hypoallergenic polyfill. His 1/4 limbs are weighted with sealed white sterilized sand. He poses wonderfully and can curl right up into your arms for a loving cuddle. Once you see and hold this precious baby for yourself you won't want to put him down
