October 4th 2007
*4lbs 15.3ozs* 22 inches head to toe

To show this baby's true coloring all of her pictures were taken in natural daylight

This beautiful baby is made from the softest quality vinyl from Bountiful Baby

She has been carefully balanced & weighted from head to toe with the tiniest glass granules sealed and surrounded with very soft high quality polyfil

There is no sand at all in this baby so she meets regulations for overseas traveling

Her hair was ultra micro rooted with the highest quality dark brown newborn kid mohair

I made her body from the softest doe suede material with fully jointed and moveable limbs

Hope has full length limbs and has beautifully colored and textured "living skin tones, when you look very closely at her you can see she even has a slight hint of soft down on her arms and legs

Hope does not have a magnet in her so she is safe around all electronics and pacemakers.  I can add one upon request from her new mommy

She has a beautiful wardrobe complete from dress to play to bedtime

Hope can wear 0-3 month clothing

Hope has been carefully colored with my own special blend of Genesis heat set paints that will never fade, crack or peel.  I have been working over the last year with many trial and errors to develop my technique with these paints to achieve the most realistic living skin tones with a slightly blushed or mottled look.  The finer skinned areas have a gentle hue of bluish/pink for the look of a true baby and to create amazing realism.

Her veining is visible but not strongly enough to create a high contrast.  Hope's skin tone is amazingly lifelike and realistic.  I truly pay attention to every detail and crevice and baby fat roll.  No spot on this baby has been overlooked from her darling manicured toes to her sweet little red tipped nose which has been opened and backed with felt to give the illusion of real breathing.  I have included several close ups so that you can see the extreme detail and realism of every part of her.

The detail that can be achieved with the Genesis heat set paints is amazing.  These close ups of her tiny delicate hands and darling little feet show that detail and realism.  She even has little dry patches on them

Hope's scalp has been delicately and realistically detailed and then I micro rooted her hair with incredibly soft dark brown kid mohair with the tiniest ultra rooting needle available.  Her hair has been sealed from the inside with waterproof sealer so that it can be carefully washed and styled in a wide variety of sweet little girl styles.

Hope has a complete full head of hair long enough to be put into pony tails and a beautifully swirled crown so it can also be worn down in soft waves and curls.  Hope's hair was left natural in most of her pictures so that you can see that it really is quite manageable without having to be wet down every time.  I have included several pictures from every angle I could to show off her beautiful hair.

Hope also has extremely poseable limbs as demonstrated in the picture above.  Her arms can be straightened or bent and will stay in place.

Hope will come home with all of the clothing seen in her pictures as well as her embossed bunny blanket, an extra diaper, frilly socks and handmade crotched booties (made by audrey28 of eBay) a personalized Baby Cre8tions diaper shirt, her birth certificate and picture CD of all the pictures here and then some.  Almost 100 pictures in all.

Testimonials

Gia, I am so happy I came across your auction, I have seen many Reborns over the years but nothing as incredible as yours, I've always read many reborners who print "Strict Attention To Detail No Crease Left Undone" but you are a true artist with a very bright future ahead, I have never seen true to life babies like yours.  The nail beds done to reality, his eyebrows perfect strokes & his smile he's almost drooling.  I could go on & on but I know you'll blow up so that you won't have any time from being so booked.  I'm looking forward to your future works, Just Amazing!
