| Sculpting is an artistic outlet for me, and I put my whole heart into every one of my creations. My artistry is self-taught and each sculpt that I do takes an eternity to create. Polymer clay is durable and strong and has been used in doll making for years by doll artists. Having the look of real skin tone, and the feel of porcelain, it is the perfect compound for sculpting art dolls. More shatter and chip resistant than ceramic or porcelain, it is the perfect medium for sculptures. Most of the "babies" that I make are tiny: under 2 inches. Being very detail oriented, my continuing goal is realism. My tools are extremely small. The tools I use the most are: a very small sewing needle and a wet paint brush with about 9 hairs in it. In combination with very strong reading glasses, a lamp with high magnification is used so that I get every detail right. No molds of any kind are ever used. A special technique for color is applied before curing to give baby's skin that healthy baby glow. My full sculpts usually have a bit of hair applied atop their tiny head. I favor Tibetan Lambs hair and the tiny locks are applied individually. I gloss the lips, toenails and fingernails after curing. This gives each doll a realistic appearance. For Bundle Babies, the head, neck and torso are sculpted. No limbs are attached, and the soft swaddling layers are then permanently fastened to the clay. Therefore, the bundle baby's blankets do not come off. My art dolls cannot be duplicated. They are truly original "One Of A Kind" (OOAK). Every single one begins as a ball of clay, to which imagination is added, with tender care and a lot of patience and time. With each art doll, you receive a signed certificate of authenticity. My full sculpts are also signed, numbered and dated. All hats, blankets and pacifiers are handmade by me as well. Having always loved children...especially babies, I look to real photos of babies as a guide while I sculpt. I am truly inspired by my three grandchildren! You can find me easily on eBay by searching for seller: babydearbaby or including "BDB" (Baby Dear Baby) in your OOAK search! I am grateful that you would allow me to enter your world for a moment.
