Look who's awake in the nursery! Please welcome Hailey. This is the "Jupiter " sculpt by the very talented Melody Hess. Hailey was hand painted using Genesis heat set paints. This paint is permanent. She has subtle mottling and veining throughout her limbs, blue and purple undertones where babies have thinner skin. I use my own combination of Genesis varnish to matte, seal and protect her painting and gives her a slight texture. I have given Hailey a lovely new baby skin tone. I paint only in natural daylight and apply many thin layers for a realistic 3D effect. I mix my own colors making Hailey truly one of kind! Hailey has painted eyebrows and rooted lashes. Her sweet nose has been shaded to create depth and I have added the moisture affect to her eyelids, ears, nostrils and inside of her mouth. Her lips have been lightly glossed. A sweet nail scratch adds to her details. I chose stunning green Lauscha glass eyes for Hailey. I then glossed over her eyes with my signature gloss giving them a very wet look! Hailey has a professionally made cloth body. It features non jointed full arms and full legs with a gathered tushy with a darted chest for the ultimate in realism when posing or holding sweet Hailey. It is a lovely flesh color and will look seamless under clothes. Hailey fits well into 3 month sized clothing depending on the brand. Her limbs and body are filled with a combination of 2 different size fine glass beads, soft fiberfill and a silicone tummy insert. She is weighted to feel like a real baby in your arms. She is scented to keep her smelling baby fresh. Her sweet fingers and toes have been tipped and sealed. I have given Hailey lovely high quality Angora mohair in a pale blonde. It is directionally rooted, soft, straight to slightly wavy and sealed from the inside so that it may be gently styled. Mohair really adds to the realism of your reborn!
Baby Hailey is handmade, fragile and considered art, not a toy. She is meant to be displayed and observed. I do not recommend my babies for children under the age of 14. I have been creating reborn babies for years and have even been a prototype artist for top sculptors such as Toby Morgan, Tru Born Inc and Cassie Brace. Each baby made in my studio takes many hours of dedication to complete. I take pride in my art and care about my work. I use only quality materials and proven methods along with some of my own techniques. I am constantly working to improve with each baby made. Please feel free to message me to ask questions or request additional photos. I am always happy to hear from you! The name Hailey is a suggestion and may be changed by you at adoption. My studio is a completely smoke free, adult environment. Thank you!
