This is a Noelle reborn doll kit by the talented sculptor Adrie Stoete, I absolutely love this baby, she is such a cutie, this is one of my favorite sculpts of all time! I enjoyed watching this little one come to life, she is truly sweet. She has 3/4 arms and 3/4 length legs, weighted with glass beads for realism then they are sealed, her body is filled with glass beads encased in polypellets in nylon, surrounded by the softest polyfill I could find. When you hold her she feels like a real baby. Her head is also weighted, so you will need to support it just like a real baby. Her nose has been opened and backed with felt for depth. I used premium mouthblown glass eyes from Germany and I hand applied upper wispy lashes. I used premium med dark brown slightly wavy mohair that is of the finest quality, it is the softest hair. I microrooted it in a pattern that follows a natural hairline with a little swirl at her crown. It turned out beautifully. The hair is one of the most important features on a baby, so I spend days trying to perfect the look! I put one-two hairs at a time and painted wispy hairs along the hairline.
