Bringing Your Baby Doll to Life - Part 3

Now it's time to apply the first layer of blush to your baby. For Kaylee, I'll be using a peaches and cream tone for her blush. Mix the blush using odorless thinner and Genesis Pyrole Red 02 with a bit of Pyrole Red 05 to deepen the color a bit. Add a bit of Genesis Burnt Umber to tone it down and a very small touch of Phthalo Blue 03 to cool the color.

Use a 00 round brush to mix the blush color for your baby.

 With a 1/2 inch Maxine's Mop, apply a dot of color to the end of a clean cosmetic foam wedge and apply the blush with a pouncing motion onto the head and limbs. This can be as dark or as light as you want. You'll be adding another blushing layer later on in the process.

Apply a dot of paint to the end of a clean cosmetic foam wedge sponge.

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.
