Details.

This is my version of the stunning Serena, sculpted by Tay Freitas. 

She is produced by MacPherson Arts & Crafts and poured and poured in silicone by The Dainty Loft. 

My Serena is the Prototype for the Silicone Edition.

Serena is approximately 17 inches (if her legs were stretched out) and approximately 3 pounds. 

She is poured in EcoFlex 20 silicone.  She is a partial silicone (head and limbs are silicone) with a cloth body.  She has full limbs. I've added a handmade silicone bum insert for her bottom to be heavy and squishy. Her body has been weighted with polyfil and a sewn pouch of glass beads. 

Serena can take a magnet pacifier as her mouth doesn't open. 

Serena's gorgeous, thick head of dark blonde 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, thick, and straight mohair. 

I've made her eyebrows a combination of hand applied and painted hair. A true work of realistic art. 

Serena 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 preemie and micro preemie clothes. All the outfits you see in the pictures travel with her. All outfits are handmade. The knitted set is from Oms' Knits (my grandmother). She will also arrive with a pacifier, diapers, blanket, care package and 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.
