This is River, he is the real born Dominic, created using 3D imagery from an actual newborn. This is a cuddle-therapy doll. This doll does NOT HAVE VINYL LIMBS, HE HAS A VINYL HEAD ONLY. I do not make many of these and I usually only do them for clients referred to me through a therapist that is local.
Please look at photos carefully, I altered this body to give it more movement.
These babies are used as comfort objects, they are collected and they are used for therapy. Although I used the same quality in painting the head for this baby this is not a traditional reborn doll and has a cloth body and limbs, hands and feet are poly pellets and polyfil, the body and head are weighted with glass.
River is magnetized and will come with a pacifier.
River is lightly scented (I do not use scented wafers) with a natural botanical spray made here in my studio.
River is painted in darker skin tones. He is a light caramel color, he is not a fair baby. He is painted and sealed with GHSP. He is deeply painted with shading and undertones in lavender, magenta Rose, amber, and winter blue. Hair is carefully painted in several shades of dark brown GHSP, and is sealed, I top rooted him with a tiny bit of premium mohair for softness.
Therapy dolls do not come with a box opening.
This is an art doll and not intended for children.
Feel free to check out my You tube channel: Saint Cloud Nursery if you would like to hang out while I make babies.
_______________Please read entire description before you purchase___________________
Real Reborns are crafted one at a time by a reborn artist. What makes these babies amazing and different from a store bought (mass manufactured) doll is that each one is unique and has perfect imperfections. (If a baby does have imperfections that were not intentional the price will reflect that, if I feel it is something that may need to be disclosed we will do that in our description). The goal is for every baby to be unique in its own way, no other baby will be exactly like it.
Please note that I am a deep painter, somewhere on the spectrum of high color. I adore playing with color.
The sculpts I use are crafted by artists and purchased from a reputable dealer.
Photography is done in my studio with natural lighting available at the time, if natural light is not available due to weather conditions I will use artificial filtered light. I do my best not to alter photos but from time to time I will include one fun filtered photo. I want you to be able to see what I see. I try to keep photography as honest as I can. I do one photoshoot before I store babies (they are kept protected in a sealed container until they are shipped home).
Saint Cloud NURSERY PHOTOS MAY NOT BE USED WITHOUT PERMISSION. I retain the right to my photos even after the baby is sold. If you wish to re-sell the baby at a later date please contact me before using photos.
My babies are magnetized with a strong earth magnet, if you have a pacemaker or are dependent on a medical device please let me know so I can remove the magnet.
REBORNS ARE NOT INTENDED FOR SMALL CHILDREN OR BABIES, THESE ARE NOT TOYS.
Feel free to ask questions I love answering them, please note that Saint Cloud does have a NO RETURN POLICY, our babies are going to their first and hopefully forever home, we do not rehome babies, we consider them personal art. Make sure this is the baby you really want before you order. I apologize but I DO NOT do customs (at this time), lay-away, hold babies, swap or exchange babies or do trades, we just do not have the bookkeeping to manage that at this time.
My babies are double checked and photographed at packing, before they go to post to be sure they are complete, undamaged, carefully wrapped and ready for you to love.
All babies are made at Saint Cloud Nursery in a smoke and animal free studio in California.
(I do have a dog in my home but I do not keep any pets in my studio and my studio is separate from my living space)
Care instruction and information are available at
All Saint Cloud babies are complete and ready for adoption
