Cuddles was created from the Cuddles kit by the Donna RuBert. Cuddles is from a long-retired kit, and she would make a wonderful addition to any reborn collection.
Date of birth: November 2024 25” long She weighs 7lbs. 5ozs
Cuddles 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:
She has gentle blushing, texturing, and mottling which simulate the appearance of a 9-12 month-old baby's skin tone.
In addition, I have painted 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:
Her hair is a pretty dark coco brown color. I used premium angora mohair on her, and the texture is soft, fine, with a soft wave.
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:
Little Cuddles has such a pretty little face, and her expression is so adorable.
I have very softly painted her brows with a tiny brush one hair stroke at a time. The brows are very soft and light, and she has some rooted eyelashes, with some gorgeous German blue glass eyes.
A fine layer of dewy skin varnish has been applied on his face for subtle texture and to protect the paint.
Body:
She has 3/4 jointed arms and full non-jointed legs that have been filled with glass beads, and fiberfill. She has a cloth body that has been filled with glass beads and fiberfil. Her head, arms, and legs can be turned for posing.
Magnet:
Magnets have been applied in her head for her pacifier and hair bow. Caution: magnets can be harmful to people with pacemakers.
Layette: Cuddles wears size 9-12 months.
She will come home with an outfit of my choice, a pacifier, plus some extras to make a special box opening for the buyer.

As a precaution, I now take photos of my dolls as I pack them to prevent untrue claims should they be made against my work. I do this to discourage false claims and chargebacks.
