Most of the dolls are made of soft vinyl. I use genesis heat set paints. Theses will not rub off or fade over time. Layers are gradually built up to produce a nice realistic complexion. All dolls have different skin tones so they are all one of a kind.
Limbs are either full , 3/4 or 1/4 it will state on the doll that is for sale which limbs they have. The limbs are filled with ultra fine micro glass granules, and then sealed. Nails are tipped and varnished for that newly cut look.
Bodies are quality made material ones, with moveable arms & legs which are filled with a combination of tender touch granules and fibre fill.
Eyes that I use are of high quality, which come in many different colours. Dolls also have eye lashes added. Or hand rooted lashes.
Noses can be opened and backed with felt or painted to add depth, depending on the doll sculpt.
Hair is always hand rooted which takes many hours to complete. The hair can be lightly sprayed with water and gently restyled.
When I am totally happy with the completed doll, it is then dressed in the outfit it is photographed in, complete with vest and nappy. Some dolls have magnetic dummies which may affect pace makers & some sensitive electrical equipment. If a doll has one of these it will say, but I can remove it upon request.
All dolls come with a certificate.
