Up for "adoption" is my version of this sweet Kyrie kit from Bountiful Baby. She is a realborn and with her sweet little smile is as angelic as can be. If you are not familiar with what a realborn baby doll is you may want to visit the Bountiful Baby website for additional information. Also, you can compare my baby Kyrie with the prototypes. Buyer must be 18 or older to purchase. Please DO NOT ask for a free doll or for me to lower the price.. I spend too much of my own time and money working on my reborns to give them away. I price them extremely reasonable for the quality of the dolls. My reborn has been created to last for generations with proper care. Compare my quality to that of other artists to make your decision. YOU ARE BUYING A QUALITY REBORN DOLL FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE!!
If you have any questions at all about my one of a kind reborn baby doll, please contact me and I will answer with complete honesty.
I have painted baby Kyrie using only Genesis heat set paints. This is the only type of paint I use on my reborns because of the durability and very translucent realistic skin tones I can achieve. The paint actually bonds with the vinyl and will withstand the test of time. Kyrie is 19 inches approximately and weighs a very lightweight four pounds - twelve ounces. The head circumference is approximately 14 inces. Kyrie was given a very blotchy newborn skin tone. She has wonderful blushes, accentuated creases, subtle veining, and soft undertones where baby would normally have thinner skin. The doll is finished up with a permanent matte varnish. The nostrils on Kyrie were shaded for added realism. The eyelids, mouth and inner ears were giving a moist varnish. I gave baby many extra details such as little capillaries on the eyelids and tiny broken capillaries on cheeks and ears. This kit is a first quality kit. I will include the certificate of authenticity. If the realborns do not come with the COA there is a possibility that it is a second kit and not first quality.
Kyrie has a cloth body with full limbs. The limbs can be posed very nicely.. She feels so realistic when held in your arms. Lots of sweet movement and very huggable. I use only non-toxic materials for weighting and stuffing my dolls. I use fine glass beads to weight the limbs and secure the caps to prevent any leakage. I used plastic poly pellets to weight Kyrie's torso. With her full limbs she can wear a large variety of clothing. The pellets for her torso are enclosed in a sock rather than a nylon stocking. I do not use any nylon stockings to weight the doll as a want to prevent any chance of tears causing the pellets to leak out.
I have opted to give little my little princess a gorgeous head of very baby looking painted hair. I use paint brushes with only the fewest of bristles and build up layer upon layer of fine baby hairs. I love this look when I am working on a very newborn looking doll. The doll has a nice thick head of hair but still gives the slightly balding look that newborns have. A painted head of hair is perfect for someone that likes to put lots of hats and caps on baby. The hair style is very realistic looking with lots of movement and texture. Lots of fine baby hair running onto the face. I painted Kyrie's eyebrows with the same color of his painted head of hair. I gave Kryie rooted baby eyelashes with a premium quality mohair. The lashes are securely glued but I always recommend using care when pulling clothing over the face.
I opted to NOT give little Kyrie any magnets. I did not care for the way the magnet would sit on her face. Also, be aware that my doll is not meant in any way to be a play toy for a small child. I consider it an heirloom quality collectible and should be handled with care. Also, if you have any chewing pets please keep the doll away from them as the limbs contain find glass beads. (
*******************
Kyrie will wear newborn size baby clothing very nicely. I will start Kyrie off with a darling layette of the clothing she is seen wearing in the pictures. I send along a care sheet with my personal recommendations for keeping baby is pristine condition. I create a custom certificate of adoption with the name of the adopting parent and baby's name. If you want to choose a different name for Kyrie please advise me with your payment. Also, don't forget the name of the adopting parent. Layette will all clothing baby is wearing , a receiving blanket and extra diapers. I always include an item or two of clothing of my own choosing. No other obvious props or items will be included. She would be adorable for you to shop for a darling Christmas outfit for her first Christmas with you.
