Meet Lilly

Thank you to everyone who's been following along as I brought Kaylee to life! Kaylee is the name of the sculpt by Linda K. Smith. Secrist Dolls produced a limited edition of Kaylee doll kits...only 295! I have completed my doll and have now renamed her Lilly.

Love her sweet blond hair? I wanted Lilly to resemble a toddler, so rather than rooting her hair, I selected a premium mohair wig (Kemper - Cassidy) from HunnyBuns Reborn Supply. (not an affiliate link)

If you look closely, you'll notice I added a few finishing touches to Lilly. Her freckles were applied with a 00 round brush and a mix of Genesis Yellow Ochre and Burnt Umber. Her lips were given a wet appearance by applying Aleene's Paper Glaze (sometimes called Secrist Baby Tears) to her mouth and tongue. (Never bake Baby Tears.) I also applied her eyelashes with Aleene's Clear Tacky Glue.

Let me know in the comments what you think of Lilly! I hope you enjoyed seeing her come to life.

Bring Lilly home!

Meet Keri ~ Precious Preemie

Meet Keri, a sweet little preemie reborn baby girl. Keri measures 17 inches in length and weighs approximately 2 pounds. She was weighted using fine glass weighting beads and high quality Poly-fil.

Her complexion is a beautiful peaches and cream. She has a tiny birthmark beneath her eye and another beneath her nose. So cute!

Keri began life as a Taffy sculpt from Secrist Dolls. Her hair and eyelashes were hand-rooted with blond Angelic Touch Mohair...so baby soft!

As you can imagine, many, many hours of loving work went into the creation of this little darling.
