I am proud to present, Realborn Sleeping Michael reborned by myself. Michael is painted with delicate mottling for depth in a pale skintone which contrasts nicely with his beautiful dark hair.
Michael was my first attempt at combi hair with prisma color and brown mohair. I have discounted Michael slightly as his rooting did not work as nicely with the prisma hair layers/varnish as I'd hoped it would. I have photos of his hair in this listing but if you have any questions or want to see more, please let me know!

* ARTISTIC IMPERFECTIONS *
Air Dry paints are extremely fragile during the drying process and in between layers, especially while combating the collection of dust. Because of this some small areas where rubbing of the paint may occur causing tiny smudges or bare spots. These spots are corrected where possible but some may still be preset in the end result. As this item is handmade, perfection should never be expected when dealing with such a high volume of pliable surface area. Please ask any questions regarding anything that may be deemed an imperfection by the artist prior to purchase, returns for artistic imperfections are not accepted.
* PHOTOGRAPHY *
Photographs are taken during different times of the day which means the visual hues will vary with each photo. Computer monitors also vary which make hue and saturation variations possible. Display photos were taken with photography lights as well as natural lighting. Please let me know if there is any specific aspects of baby that you would like to see that may not already be pictured.
* LASHES *
Baby has rooted lashes that have been glued from inside. If lashes lose volume a clear mascara can be used to help style the lashes or affix them to your desired position.
* SKIN *
Baby was painted using Fluids Air Dry Paints and mediums. Baby was created using many layers of yellows, reds, blues and purples to give a lifelike translucent baby skin effect. Matte varnish sealant was used to seal the baby and Soft Touch Varnish was used with a beauty sponge to create a soft skin texture. Fingers, toes, lips, inner ears, eyelids and nose have all been sealed with a gloss varnish for a wet looking finish.
* HAIR *
Babies hair & brows have been hand drawn using Prismacolor Verithin pencils in dark brown/umber hues. Baby has "peach fuzz" drawn around hairline, face, ears and neck to create a realistic effect to their skin and hair.
Combi-Hair: Combi-hair or combination hair is a combination of painted (or drawn in this case) and rooted mohair. Baby Michael has hair rooted from his crown up through the top of his head to give the appearance of fuller and more realistic hair. Michaels hair was rooted using a 3-bard needle and NuBorn brand mohair in medium brown.
* BODY *
Baby has full vinyl limbs connected to a premium gathered suede body, overall baby is 20" in length and 6 lbs 8 oz in weight. Baby is filled with poly-fil, glass beads, stockings to hold the beads and a baby powder wafer for that "fresh diaper" smell! Smaller glass beads are used to weight the limbs so they remain posable yet squishy. The body and head are filled with larger glass beads concealed inside a stocking to prevent leakage. All spaces in-between have been filled with high quality poly-fil to ensure baby is still soft and snuggly. Babies head has been weighed so it is floppy and requires support just like a real baby! NO SAND OR PAPER IS EVER USED AS FILLER FOR MY DOLLS.

Baby will come home with the outfit+ shown, white onesie, socks, pacifier, swaddle blanket, Certificate of Authentication and care instructions!
