Details.
This is my version of the stunning Chi, sculpted by Bonnie Sieben.
She is produced and poured by Maria Lynn Grover and her hair has been rooted by Lazara Brito.
Chi is 22-inches and 11pounds. She is poured in Soft Blend silicone. She has beautiful 20mm brown German glass eyes and tiny rooted lashes just in the corners of her eyes.
Chi also comes with an opened mouth, complete with upper gums and a tongue. I took out her tongue, painted it and the inside of her mouth with lots of detail, and then re-sealed it back into her mouth. She can take a standard preemie or newborn pacifier.
I've added armatures to her arms. Gentle bending must be used.
Chi's gorgeous, thick head of dark brown hair has been rooted by the magnificent Lazara Brito. Hours and hours have been spent on her hair. She is micro rooted with beautifully soft and straight mohair.
I've made her eyebrows a combination of hand applied and painted hair. A true work of realistic art.
Chi has been painted by me, KrisC, from The Dainty Loft. I have worked hard to learn and achieve the best paint techniques out there. I use only the very best silicone paints. With this amazing paint, I have given her a beautiful newborn skin tone with mottling and subtle veins. Every inch of her has been painted, made to look like a breathing baby. Tiny details and dewy touches give this little girl a spectacular look. Even her nails have incredible detail.
With a final layer of matting, her skin is not shiny or glossy like some silicones. Her matting is STUNNING and she has the softest, silkiest skin EVER! All of this is an EXTREMELY time-consuming process and is difficult to achieve this look. Everything you see on this little girl is unique to him. This makes her one of a kind.
She wears newborn and 0-3 month clothes. All the outfits you see in the pictures travel with her. Some are vintage pieces. The knitted set is from Oms' Knits (my grandmother). She will also arrive with a pacifier, blanket, toy, COA.
Photos have been taken at different times of the day, with two different cameras. Natural and daylight bulb light.
I do not take on custom work. So if you love her, do not hesitate to bid now. Once she is gone, she cannot be replicated.
