A Note From
The Artist:
This little girl was such a pleasure to work with and her features are amazingly
realistic. She is the very popular sculpt called ''Robyn'' by the world famous
and very talented artist Adrie Stoete-Schuiteman.
She is now my darling little girl, Chloe
Chloe's truly realistic ''real life'' complexion was achieved through the use of
Genesis heat-set paints. Her colors will never fade. The lifelike mottled effect
of her skin was achieved through multiple layers of subtle shading over a period
of time. Her shading has been done a bit softer, with delicate but stronger
overtones to give her a ''soft'' innocent look. It is my own technique that is
constantly evolving as I strive to create the most lifelike babies possible.
Every little crease and fold of Chloe's head and limbs have been detailed,
blushed and shaded to achieve realism. Chloe has got soft veins painted on her
little face and limbs. Never too bold as to overshadow her amazing ''real life''
complexion. Her head has been weighted with slightly larger glass pellets
and needs support when she is picked up, just like a real baby.
Chloe's limbs have been filled with
glass granules and have also been weighted to perfection.
Body
Chloe has been given a brand new cloth body, custom designed, and is in perfect
proportion to her head and limbs. Her limbs are very easy to pose.
Her body has been filled with soft fiberfill that will never clot and glass
pellets. Chloe's body is soft and cuddly and has been realistically weighted.
Once you pick her up, you just can't put her down.
Hair
Chloe's hair has been Micro Rooted, one hair at a time, by hand with Dark Brown
premium Plus Angora Mohair which was imported from the USA. This truly amazingly
soft and silky hair was made by Susan Nagel.
I rooted Chloe's hair very close together directionally correct which makes it
very easy to style her hair naturally.
Her hair can be gently combed, styled and washed with the aid of a little water
and baby shampoo, as it has been glued on the inside on his head.
Her new Mom can style her hair straight or whip it up into lovely soft curls.
Nose, Mouth & Eyes
I opened Chloe's little nostrils and backed it with dark felt to create even
more depth and realism to her features.
Her lips have a lovely soft realistic color and matches her complexion
perfectly.
Chloe has a magnetic pacifier/dummy to sooth her when she gets lonely.
Please let me know if you wish to have the magnets removed from Chloe and her
pacifier, as they are strong and could effect appliances,
computers and pace makers.
