Your baby ... 

Your baby will start out as a child's play doll. I will carefully and lovingly transform  your doll into a one of a kind artist collectible doll. Keeping in mind your preferences and working closely with you to present to you your precious collectible heirloom baby, a baby you would be proud to love, cherish and pass down for generations to come.  

Skin Tone & Details... 

Your precious little bundles process will begin with a gentle soapy baby bath. After the drying process is complete I will carefully and skillfully paint your baby with high quality pigments to capture realistic skin tones and bring your baby to life. The painting process takes time as there are several varying layers needed to capture a true to life skin tone. Subtle shading will enhance this layer technique and add dimension and detail to your baby. Baby's skin is blushed, which makes the baby seem so realistic it is amazing. I paint the lips in varying shades and colors to also add depth and detail, making her lips look moist and soft. After her skin tone has been created I will then give her tiny nails a realistic look by shading and paint them with the look of tiny nail beds and cuticles. Each Layer is secured and protected with a high quality low matte varnish for added durability and strength. 

Hair & Eyes....  

 All jtk design babies will come with hand micro rooted imported angora mohair unless otherwise requested. You will select the color and style. This hair has been hand dyed and is the softest mohair I have used. Hand rooted mmohair makes these babies look so real. After the hair is rooted each baby's hair is sculpted into a precious baby style for that never before cut look.  Your baby will receive hand rooted eye lashes to match her hair or kemper eye lashes depending on the look preferred. Baby's eyes are the finest eyes available (Masterpiece Eyes) are a ooak in themselves as each pair of eyes is hand made upon order. I will then frame her beautiful eyes with hand painted "Barely there" eyebrows to complete the face. 

Babie's Body... 

Baby's body is one of the things that make my babies so special. Each body is specially made for your little one. Bodies are available in a variety of materials.... those resembling a tiny little romper or skin toned realistic doe suede. All of my babies have jointed custom bodies. Your baby will be weighted to give that cuddly feel.. weighing in at approximately 3 -4 pounds  ( which in a doll closely resembles the weight of a 7 lb baby) and will be 19-23 inches depending on the model. baby's head is also weighted for realism so be careful and support your baby as you would a real baby. Your baby will come with partial limbs unless other limbs are requested at an additional cost. 

Babie's Layette...

Each and everybaby here at jtk designs will come with the best clothes chosen to compliment your babies coloring, personality and features. You may also choose to have a custom ensemble designed for your little one.. Each and every jtk design babies are lovingly wrapped in a soft flannel blanket, tied with a ribbon and shipped in their own little basket... I believe  that presentation is very important and I would like for you to be happy with your adoption.
