This beautiful big baby has been reborn from the very popular kit ''Ariella'' sculpted by world reknown sculptess & artist, Riva Schick, thank you Reva for this gorgeous baby! Our absolutely stunning and endearing baby girl has been a pleasure to reborn and I have named her Alexandra....she has the most beautiful baby face & her beautifully sculpted limbs, hands & feet are so detailed and so life-like! I love this sculpt so much that this is the third Ariella kit I have reborn & I usually never reborn a kit more than once! Before I begin painting, I always thoroughly wash all parts with a degreasing soap to remove any hint of factory oils or any other residue, even if it is a blank kit....once rinsed, I also flush all parts with 91% alcohol to assure a nice, squeaky clean, ready to paint surface. Using Genesis permanent heat-set paints, I have given Alex a creamy fair complexion with a heathy blush in all the normal places you would expect of a healthy young baby. I spend several days layering a realistic, creamy baby skin tone as a base to the outside of each piece heat setting each layer as I go. When I feel the skin base is perfect I then, piece by piece, blush, shade and detail the features, creases and folds...at this time I also add tiny veins and a shadow of natural blotchiness where it would usually be noticed....every inch of Baby is given my complete attention. I always heat set each layer as it is applied giving each time to cool & settle....insuring indurance & permanence.....all coloring, blushing & detailing has been done to the OUTSIDE....I use no paints on the inside of the vinyl. This gorgeous baby's color will not wipe or rub off & will not fade...her beautiful complexion will retain it's amazing detail and fresh dewy look for years to come.~

~ Beautiful Alex has a lovely head of fawn colored silky mohair that has been hand rooted with an ultra fine #42 German fork rooting needle. Many hours were spent hand rooting 1-2 hairs at a time to give her a nice head of hair yet done thinly enough to let her smooth scalp show through as is normal to most babies....it has been sealed & bonded inside and can be gently combed, washed and styled as you choose...style and curls can easily be refreshed by wetting hair with wet hands or wet comb and then combing, scrunching as you go, into curls and different syles. Much care was taken to give baby a scalp as real & artfully done as her face & limbs....it has been painted, blushed & detailed right along with the rest of her...it peeks adorably through her beautiful hair glowing with health, subtle veins & blushing! This baby's beautiful glossy hair is exceptionally soft & fine, just like a real baby's hair. I have given her medium brown, hand rooted, mohair eyelashes & hand painted, light brown eyebrows that feather gently over her peacefully sleeping eyes.~

~I take a lot of time with Baby's hands & feet....carefully detailing them & doing the nails using a large tabletop magnifying lamp....it's the only way I have found to get all those little fingers and toes done neatly & perfectly the way I like to see them!~

~Baby's nose has been expertly opened for added realism and backed with dark felt. All nails have been given a just clipped look with softly painted tips and then triple sealed and heat set with Genesis satin gloss sealer, I then finished with one coat of Genesis air dry gloss varnish.....her darling baby lips have been gently colored and then triple sealed with a combination of Genesis satin gloss and glossy sealer and then heat set, only GENESIS paints & varnishes were used on lips & nails so you can be assured that they will stay beautiful with no fear of chipping or peeling. When all was complete I assembled Alexandra giving her custom made jointed white flannel body made specifically for her. She has been weighted with plastic poly-pellets in vinyl arms, legs and head...body is filled & weighted with a mesh bag of plastic pellets & large glass gems (about the size of a small marble) for added weight...I then filled in with silky soft fiberfill in arms, legs, head & body. I have purposely refrained from using any real sand or the fine sand-like glass beads for the international buyers who may have a customs problem with those fillers. Baby is soft and cuddly....Alex feels incredibly real when picking her up and when holding her.....baby has been reborn as a young baby just beginning to sit up & play! Please be aware that this baby, as with ALL reborn babies, is no longer a child's toy but is, instead, a beautiful collectible work of art to be handled carefully and cherished as you would any work of art.~
