Date of birth: September 2024 Zoe is 26” long She weighs 7lb 4oz
Zoe was painted with heat set paint. I strive to create amazing realism with my skin tones and textures. Heat set paint is perfect for painting in thin layers or glazes, and is permanent when heat set. I have applied a thin layer of matte varnish to protect the paint. .
**Skin**
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.
**Hair**
Zoe’s hair is a pretty medium brown I used premium angora mohair on her, and the texture is soft, fine. 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. Her hair has been internally sealed, and it can be wet, gently brushed, and styled.
**Face**
Zoe has an adorable little face. I have very softly painted her brows with a tiny brush one hair stroke at a time. The brows are finely detailed, and she has some rooted eyelashes and some gorgeous German glass eyes that are a blue/gray color. I have lightly painted lower lashes. Her sweet little mouth has many thin layers of paint applied to get a natural lip color. Her face has been painted and blushed to look like my interpretation of a 7-8 month-old baby. A fine layer of dewy skin varnish has been applied on his face for subtle texture and to protect the paint.
**Body**
She has full arms and legs that have been filled with glass beads, BBs, and fiberfill. She has a cloth non-jointed body. She has an armature which helps her stand, and her head, arms, legs can be turned for posing.
**Magnet**
Mouth magnet. She has a modified Pacifier as an alternative.
