Look who's new in the nursery! Please welcome Dustin! This is the adorable "Grumpy Sage at 4 months" kit by Bountiful Baby. The Grumpy Sage kit is a sold out, discontinued kit and very hard to find. Dustin was hand painted using Genesis heat set paints. This paint is permanent. He has subtle mottling and veining throughout his limbs, blue and purple undertones where babies have thinner skin. I used Genesis varnish to matte, seal and protect his painting and give him a slight texture. I have given Dustin 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 Dustin truly one of kind! Dustin has painted eyebrows and baby brown rooted lashes. His sweet nose has been shaded to create depth and I have added the moisture effect to his eyelids, ears, and nostrils. I have given Dustin a wrinkled skin appearance on the bridge of his nose. His pouty lip has been lightly glossed. Dustin has a professionally made cloth body. It features non jointed full length arms and full legs with a gathered tushy and darted chest for the ultimate in realism when posing or holding sweet Dustin. It is a lovely flesh color and will look seamless under clothes. Dustin fits well into 2 to 4 months sized clothing depending on the brand and the fit you like. His limbs and body are filled with a combination of 2 different size fine glass beads, soft fiberfill and a baby fat tummy insert. I have weighted him to feel like a real baby in your arms. Dustin comes with a removable belly plate for added realism when posing him in just a diaper. This popular belly plate has also been discontinued and is no longer available making Dustin extra special. He is scented to keep him smelling baby fresh. His sweet fingers and toes have been tipped and sealed. I have chosen high quality yearling mohair in a beautiful bronze brown color for Dustin. It is directionally rooted, very soft, straight, behaves nicely and is sealed from the inside so that it may be gently styled. Rooted hair really adds to the realism of your reborn!
Simply adorable!
Dustin's layette features: Disney bodysuit, 3 piece bubble romper set includes: bodysuit, jumper, matching cotton socks, removable belly plate, pacifier (for prop), disposable diaper, soft blanket, birth certificate, photo of baby, COA and care instructions.
Baby is handmade, fragile and considered art, not a toy. He 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. Please feel free to message me any questions or to ask for additional pictures before purchasing so that you are confident of your purchase. I am always happy to hear from customers and will get back to you asap, usually within a few hours. Baby's name is a suggestion and may be changed by you at adoption.
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 such as brightness settings may differ so please allow for this. It is best to view the pictures from several different devices if you can. 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. I do own one cat, she does not come into my studio area, I also work with mohair which is animal hair, for those who may have allergies please be aware. Thank you for looking! :)
