I have had a couple of inquiries about seeing Leo as a girl. Leo can be a boy or a girl, so I've added some pictures of Leo as a girl. Buyer has a choice of boy or girl, and I think both are adorable.
Leo by Cassie Brace (Love) Leo is from a small limited edition of 700. My Leo is 505/700. COA included.
Date of birth: June. 2024 Length: 18” long Weight: 5 lbs. 1oz
Leo is my interpretation of a very newborn baby boy, and he has some nice special effects like peeling and dry skin, milk bumps, and angel kisses. On his face he has little rash areas and some scratches.
He/she was painted with Genesis heat set paint. I strive to create amazing realism with my skin tones and textures. The Genesis paint is perfect for painting in thin layers or glazes, and is permanent when heat set
Skin:
He/she has gentle blushing, texturing, and mottling which simulate the uneven appearance of a baby's skin tone. In addition, I paint subtle veins on the head, arms and legs to give ultimate realism to the skin.
Gentle blushing and shading are painted all over each limb and the head to bring out all of the excellent details on the baby. No crease or roll is overlooked.
This process takes many hours of work, but I do this to achieve the look that I want. It is worth it when I see the realistic results. I have applied a thin layer of matte varnish to protect the paint. The skin does not feel rough.
Hair:
The hair is a pretty medium brown color. I used premium angora mohair on him, and the texture is soft, fine, and very straight.
I painstakingly micro-root using a very fine needle that roots only 1 or 2 hairs at a time. The natural pattern of hair growth is followed giving the scalp a realistic look.
It takes many hours and days to root the hair, but the results are worth the effort. I also paint the fine hairs that grow around the scalp with tiny brush strokes to simulate the hair that grows around a baby's face.
The hair has been internally sealed, and it can be wet, gently brushed, and styled.
Face:
Leo;s little face has been carefully blushed, veined, given small scratches, and milk bumps. I’ve also added little textured areas to simulate rash area.
I have very softly painted Leo’s brows with a tiny brush one hair stroke at a time. The brows are very soft and light, and he has some rooted eyelashes. His face has been painted and blushed to look like my interpretation of a newborn baby.
A fine layer of dewy skin varnish has been applied on his face for subtle texture and to protect the paint.
Body:
Leo has full non-jointed arms and legs that have been filled with glass beads and fiberfill.
The head, arms, and legs can be turned for posing. His head has been weighted to be floppy. Leo comes home with a detailed tummy plate.
Magnet: A Magnet has been applied in his head for his pacifier and hair bow for a girl.. Caution: magnets can be harmful to people with pacemakers.
Layette: Leo wears size Newborn He/she will come home with an outfit of my choice, a pacifier, plus some extras to make a special box opening for the buyer.
