Life-size Sculpted Babies

Where Lumps of Polymer Clay Become Beautiful One of a Kind Babies!

I was honored to receive an invitation to join an International Sculptors group formed by well-known and respected doll artist Petra Lechner:

 Let's Visit The Babies....

    I decided to do a series called "The Beauty of The Spirit".  Gracie and Hope were the first and second of this series.  Hopefully they'll soon be followed by Faith, Charity and Serenity.  

This is Hope.  She is also full size with partial limbs attached to a jointed soft body.  Hope has been adopted

And this is the 3rd in the "Beauty of the Spirit" Series, "Joy".  Joy is a full-sized sculpted OOAK made with a cernit/prosculpt blend.  I'm happy with the integrity of this clay blend as it produced nearly no flaws at all in the finished sculpt.  She has partially sculpted arms and legs on a soft jointed cloth body.  I baked on rooted soft straight medium brown angora mohair.  She was colored with Windsor-Newton Artisan oils and transparent inks.   

Joy and Hope have both been adopted to their new home.  

4th in the Series, Faith.  Faith was created exactly the same way as Hope and Joy, from Prosculpt, with partial arms and legs on a jointed and weighted soft body.  She has a trimmed Kemper Mohair wig in black, eyelashes and dark blue glass eyes.  Faith has gone to live with her "sisters" Hope and Joy!

Marisa was created from Prosculpt, and has half length arms and legs attached to a weighted, jointed soft body.  She has dark brown semi-curly angora mohair and dark brown eyelashes.  Marisa has been adopted

Michael was created from Prosculpt and is 18" long.  He has partial sculpted limbs attached to a jointed, weighted and stuffed cloth doll body.   He has blue oval glass eyes and his coloring was done using Windsor and Newton water-mixable oils.  

Michael has been adopted & now lives with Marisa :-)

Katie Lynn, Prosculpt, preemie size with partial limbs.  Katie has blue glass oval eyes and a foil armature for added strength in her hands and feet.  I rooted the hair strand by strand on Katie's head.  The results were remarkable!   All of her coloring was done with artist oils.  Katie Lynn has been adopted

Meet a cute little preemie, Jenna!  She's only 1 lb 4 oz and 13" long.  She has full length limbs attached to a soft flannel body.  She was made with Prosculpt.

Jenna has been adopted

"Samara Leah" - sculpted from Prosculpt with 1/4 length limbs from a photo of a real baby.  Samara has rooted black mohair and was colored with Windsor Newton artisan oils. 

Samara lives with my dear friend, Diana in Florida, who spoils her rotten :-)

This is Delanie.  She is sculpted from Prosculpt and has 3/4 length arms and legs attached to a reused commercial doll body.  I used Genesis Heatset paints on this baby, and I am happy with the results.  She has rooted light brown angora mohair, Victorian Blue Real Eyes and medium brown lashes.  She is 20" long.  Delanie has been adopted.

Meet Kyna (pronounced Kee-nah) which is Irish for "love, affection, esteem".  What a cutie-bug!!  Kyna is 100% Prosculpt, colored with Windsor Newton Artisan oils and acrylics.  She's real preemie-size, 14.5 inches long and 1 lb 9 oz.   Kyna has been adopted.

And here is Joey...

Joey was sculpted from Super Sculpey and was originally destined to be used as a production doll.   He's still a big boy, measuring 24" in length.  But his head measurement wasn't large enough to be reproduced as a toddler doll, so he was adopted out as a OOAK...but that's not the end of the story!

The Rest of the Story is....Joey was purchased by Ashton Drake Galleries!

He's now known as "Picture Perfect Boy".  Good job, Joey!

Cecelia was the last of my 2005 babies to be adopted.  She is 100% Prosculpt, with partial limbs on a jointed flannel body and measures 14" long.  Cecelia has been adopted.

Elysia....

Elysia is a full sized newborn baby girl with full length limbs, baked on mohair and a soft weighted jointed body. She was created with Prosculpt and painted with artist oil paints.  Elysia is adopted

This is "Micaela" a full sized baby girl with full length limbs on a weighted soft jointed body and baked in mohair.  She was painted with Genesis heatset paints.  Micaela has been adopted.

Meredith was created with Baby Prosculpt.  She's 19 inches long with 3/4 length limbs attached to a jointed stuffed cloth body.  She has a light brown clearcap mohair wig.  She's been adopted.

This is Chloe.  She was created from 100% Prosculpt and is 14.5 inches long (about the size of a micro-preemie baby) with baked on hair and full length limbs attached to a doesuede jointed body.  Chloe is adopted.

This is Francesca.  She was inspired by the online story of a real premie baby.  She is 15" long with full limbs attached to a jointed doesuede body.  She wears real NICU clothing.  She's been adopted.
