Baby Clara started out as a Sandy kit, originally sculpted by the artist
Sheila Michael. She´s got chubby full length arms
and legs. The limbs are filled and weighted with glass sand and
polyfill and sealed with silicone. Her head is also weighted and filled with
glass sand and polyfill sealed with silicone. Clara has an anatomically correct
half vinyl torso from the belly and down. The body is filled with polyfill and small sewn bags with glass
sand and granules. She has the perfect weight and is now
a collectible artist doll and not a toy.
Clara´s beautiful skincolor has
been achieved by mixing high quality permanent Genesis paint. The mixture used
for each doll is totally unique and therefore every doll gets it´s very own
special finish. The paint has been applied in several layers until the perfect
color is achieved for the particular doll. She even has very fine veins on her
legs, arms and head. Melina has also been "blushed" in all the right places
included every tiny crease. Her nostrils has been opened carefully and a small
piece of felt has been glued inside the head for that realistic depth.
Her little finger- and toenails have
been painted and coated with matte varnish.
Claras hair has been microrooted
by hand. We have used the highest quality mohair. It is babybrown, straight and can
easily be combed and styled.
Clara has beautiful solid darkbrown glass eyes from Lauscher Germany, real looking eyelashes and very subtle
eyebrows. Her lips have been painted realistically and a very thin layer of
matte varnish has been applied. A strong magnet is glued inside her head behind
the mouth. She has a magnetic pacifier to comfort her from time to time. Please
note that the magnets are very strong and should be kept away from computers and
other electronical products with memoryfunction. The magnets can easily be
removed if you want.
