About my baby dolls. I take great pride in creating these hand crafted baby dolls. I only ever use quality materials and many hours of work go into creating each little individual, throughout the reborning process each little bundle takes on its own personality ensuring that no two babies are ever alike. I always put my heart and soul into each little individual created, in order to guarantee you 100% satisfaction.
Creating lifelike colouring. The lifelike appearance is achieved through many thin layers (around 8) of Genesis heat set paint to achieve the beautiful true to life newborn skin tones with subtle mottling and then sealed with Genesis Matt to give a lovely depth and realism that will never fade. Each little wrinkle has been coloured to also give depth and the finger and toe nails are given the freshly clipped look. During this process the baby doll can be given realistic veins, broken capillaries, newborn skin markings, milk spots and even stork bites to add even more realism. Each layer of paint is dried in the oven at a set temperature.
The hair is directionally 'micro rooted' with a very fine needle, one hair at a time using gorgeous premium mohair which is unbelievably realistic and downy soft. This is extremely time consuming but the effect is that the babies’ hair is growing straight from the scalp, just like a real baby. This is then internally sealed with water proof adhesive so that the hair can be dampened and styled to your taste. This same procedure is also done on the eyebrows and eyelashes.
Lovely detailed full arms and legs are then weighted with the finest of glass granules and the soft body which enables the baby to be posed in many different positions is also weighted with tiny glass granules to give a realistic baby weight and topped with quality fibre fill and elastomer pellets (baby fat) making the baby wonderful and cuddly to hold. The little head will also be weighted making the head floppy and will need your help to support it just like a real baby.
The baby doll even smells like a newborn baby.It will be scented with baby powder oils. A magnet may be fitted at this stage to allow the baby doll to take a pacifier or hair decorations so care will be needed around electrical equipment. NO LONGER A PLAY DOLL. Each hand crafted reborn baby doll will arrive in a beautiful designer layette and will have an Adorababes Original birth certificate and care instructions and be presented to you beautifully gift boxed.
