Look who's awake in the nursery! Please welcome Apple. This is the "Realborn June awake at 7 months" by Bountiful baby. Apple 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 give her a slight texture. I have given Apple a lovely new baby skin tone. I paint only in natural daylight, apply many thin layers for a realistic 3D effect and never rush my work. I mix my own colors making Apple truly one of kind! Apple 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, and nostrils. Her lips have been lightly glossed. I chose stunning bright blue Lauscha glass eyes for Apple. I then glossed over her eyes giving them a moist look. Apple has a professionally made cloth body. It features non jointed full arms and full legs with a gathered tushy. Apple has a non removable torso making for great poses in just a diaper. her arms and legs move easily up and down. Apple fits well into 9 to 12 month sized clothing depending on the brand. Her limbs and body are filled with a combination of 2 different size fine glass beads and soft fiberfill. 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 Apple lovely high quality angora mohair in a pale blonde. It is directionally rooted, very soft, straight to slightly wavy and sealed from the inside so that it may be gently styled. Apple has a magnetic bow for added cuteness when posing her as well as a magnetic pacifier.
Baby Apple 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 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. The name Apple is a suggestion and may be changed by you at adoption.
Apple's layette features: linen flowered romper, matching tights, magnetic felt hair bow, bunny bib w/ matching socks, elephant themed bodysuit, magnetic pacifier, disposable diaper, travel blanket, birth certificate, baby's first photo, certificate of authenticity, care instructions.
I take very detailed box packing photos to ensure baby was packed with care. Baby is represented in the photos to the best of my ability with all pictures taken by myself in natural daylight using a Nikon dslr camera over a two day period. Baby is painted art so the skin tone may vary slightly depending on the light in which baby is displayed. I use a color calibrated, high resolution monitor. Monitor settings may differ so please allow for this. As with any handmade item slight imperfections can occur but do not detract from the beauty of the art work. Please make sure the baby is for you BEFORE buying. I do not offer a private layaway here however you may take advantage of PayPal's delayed payment program (pending approval). I do not alter my reborns once completed so please do not ask for any modifications. I use a digital scale to weigh the baby. The accuracy of other digital scales may vary slightly. I strive for a pleasant transaction. Baby comes with the items in the layette section only. All other items in photos are props and not included in the sale. This listing may end at any time as I also offer my reborns on other social platforms. Thank you for looking! :)
