Welcome red-headed Orly!

This little girl could be called a baby for all seasons!

I intended to have her done in the first week of January so I bought her a winter themed outfit.  

When that didn't happen, I matched her up with this precious Valentines Day themed dress...

complete with sun glasses!

When THAT didn't happen, I decided to try for St. Patrick's day!

I made this deadline and Orly looks really great in green. 

And just to be safe, I thought I better throw in a nice Easter dress:

I am sending her on her way home today.  

I think I will miss her very much!  

To prep Orly for reborning, I used Genesis Matte Varnish to build up her eyebrow texture and create texture in her mouth.  (I also added a few glass beads to the varnish in her mouth to create "taste buds"  :)

 I used Genesis Glazing Gel to create nail texture.

After I cured those products and allowed her to cool, I coated her vinyl with 

Folk Art Glass and Tile Medium.

This process turned out SO lovely.  

I rooted her head with my own hand-dyed kid angora mohair using a 42g COMPACT needle and many, many, MANY hours!  This baby's head is 16 inches in diameter...oh my goodness...I thought I would never finish.

I used a Chelle's Babies Nursery "Trinitee Sands" body for her.

It was just right making her 20 inches with her chubby bent legs and gave her a chubby little belly.

And a darling little bottom!

I am so pleased with this baby!!  

See you tomorrow!
