A little about Owen...

I've had so much fun with this little one...
Owen began as a baby Paige kit by Tasha Edenholm. I just love her babies; they capture such fleeting expressions. Baby Owen has captured my heart, with his big, beautiful brown eyes and expressive little hands. Baby Owen is very special, because I've given him a one of a kind sculpted tongue. After coloring him, I was very pleased with his complexion, but I didn't care for the part in his lips. So he now has just the tip of a tongue showing. My own babies got this very same expression when they were trying hard to focus on an object at such a young age. It's been a while since I offered one of my babies with this darling addition on E-bay and I'm very excited to hear what everyone thinks! And I know there's a very special Mommy just waiting for such a one of a kind baby...

Owen's head and limbs made of a soft vinyl. His skin is soft and slightly scented, just exquisite to touch. Before applying his new skin color, I first gave him a soapy baby bath. All of Owen's coloring was achieved using Genesis heat set paints. When I begin painting a doll I keep in mind that babies have different skin tones at different ages. I work very hard so that the complexion matches the age I'm trying to recreate in each baby. Owen has the skin tone of baby of about two months. I've used a combination of my own colors to get a realistic complexion.
It's darker in some spot and lighter in others with subtle veining to give it depth. His uneven compexion was acheived by alternating sponging and brushing. His cheeks are mottled and he has the cutest rosy, button nose. It was opened to make him a “breather” then backed with dark felt and his little mouth has been painted a realistic color.

Owen has very light brown curly mohair; micro-rooted in a natural pattern. This takes a lot of time, but it's worth every minute. I gave Owen a full head of whispy baby curls and I love the way it turned out. To style his hair you just add a little moisture then use his special comb to gently brush it. It can be curled around your finger or brushed flat which ever you prefer! He has stroke-by-stroke eyebrows, very lightly applied. I chose not to give Owen eyelashes. They can be added upon request. Please remember that Owen is very delicate and needs to be handled with the utmost of care. He is not sutible for young children.

I'm really proud of how Owen's little hands and feet turned out. They are touchably soft and so realistic! They are so detailed with wonderful creases and folds that I wanted them to really stand out. His tiny nails have been manicured using Genesis paints. A base color was used to make them baby pink, then they are tipped in translucent white so they don’t look artificial. They are finally sealed with a clear gloss to prevent chipping, peeling or yellowing.

Owen has a brand new, doe suede body by Bountiful baby. It has been stuffed and weighted proportionately. Owen has full legs and 3/4 arms. They have been weighted with ultra fine glass powder and soft polyfil. No sand was used on Owen anywhere! His torso is weighted with the same glass powder and pellets; both are secured in nylon sacks to prevent leaking or shifting. The remainder of his torso is stuffed with polyfil to make him oh-so-cuddly. His head contains a nylon sack filled with ultra fine glass powder, then surrounded by polyfil to keep it in place. Owen has the feel of a real baby. His little head still needs to be supported because of his age. He wears preemie and newborn clothing. Owen is such a good baby to take shopping. He's so alert and sweet!
