My Life-Size "Unbreakable" Baby

This life size baby doll has a head constructed with an old making method...

       This baby doll can wear 0-3 month sizes in real human baby clothes. She has a sculpted paper mache head that is covered with stockinette, Gesso and then sanded smooth before painting. She is my "unbreakable" version of a baby doll that I handcrafted back in the late 1990s. The back of her head, not shown here is reddish. She wears a Christening bonnet and a Christmas plaid romper both which were once worn by my oldest girl when she was only three months old.
       Her eyes and eye brows are painted and her nose and open mouth are three dimensional. Only her head is hand-sculpted. Her body is canvas and her arms and legs were purchased doll parts made from vinyl.
