Video of baby Phoenix

- Baby Phoenix is masterfully, beautifully and realistically hand-sculpted from clay with such lifelike detail by world-renowned sculptor Bonnie Sieben, and he is hand-molded/cast into in a very squishy soft, cuddly silicone by Kristin Englert! Phoenix is a lovely, larger, newborn size! He is so well proportioned and just a stunning baby boy!! He is exclusively finished (painted and hair rooted) by me, Amy Kate Irwin of Amy Kate Doll Designs.

- Length: 20.5 inches.​

​​​

- Weight: 9.7 pounds.

​​​

- Head circumference: 15 inches.

​

- Flexible neck turns easily side to side with no ball joint; poured in one piece.

​

- Phoenix has a wonderful, soft, artist grade posing armature in his arms that allow for such extra cute posing!  

​​​

- He has an open mouth with a realistic tongue inside and can accommodate a small pacifier or a small bottle nipple.

​

​​- He wears size 1 diapers and newborn size clothes very nicely.

- He is #37 in his Limited Edition! 

​​​

​- Phoenix has been carefully painted in many layers over several days with very soft shading, blushing, baby blotching and subtle detailed veining in just the right places in my own custom blend of colors to achieve a warm, realistic baby skin complexion using the highest quality professional silicone paints and pigments on the market. The paint was then permanently sealed and permanently matted for an exquisite velvety-smooth finish and soft baby skin feel. I have studied the art of silicone painting and have worked very hard to learn and achieve a multi-tonal beautiful baby skin tone for total realism. The matting process is also labor intensive and time consuming, but well worth it to achieve such an exquisite finish and totally take away all the shiny gloss of silicone and get the velvety-smooth feel to the touch. Just a stunning look!  Every inch has been painted with incredible detail. 

​​​​​

- His hair has been deeply and meticulously directionally rooted 1-2 hairs at a time using premium mohair in a beautiful medium brown color with hints of a lighter brown color just around his face. This hair rooting process takes a very long time - many, many hours.

​​​​

- I have painted subtle, little delicate eyebrows and hand rooted sweet little eyelashes.  

​​​​​​​​​​

- Baby white fingernail and toenail tips have been delicately painted, glossed, and sealed on all 10 fingers and all 10 toes.

​​​​​​​​​

- Phoenix can be gently bathed in a mild baby soap if you should choose to ever bathe him. He has already been bathed and is super clean and fresh. Of course, scrubbing or excessively rubbing of his skin during bathing is never recommended on these delicate silicone collector art dolls. While his hair is deeply micro-rooted, gentle care of his hair is also recommended. You can very carefully brush and style his hair with a spritz of water and a soft bristled baby brush and/or toothbrush.

​​​​

- Phoenix is a beautiful baby boy with such realistic detail and so very soft and cuddly! He feels absolutely wonderful to hold and cuddle in your arms!❤️

​​​​​​​​

- My babies come from an entirely smoke-free environment.

***It is not uncommon for silicone babies to have a slight mark or imperfection here and there, which is not considered a flaw, but part of the handmade process and charm and simply the nature and characteristics of silicone that is an imperfect material. Please do note these dolls are art dolls completely handmade and can have small irregularities that are characteristics attributable to silicone and handmade artistry. Every hand that touches the doll from the sculpting, molding, casting, painting, rooting processes strives to produce a perfect doll, but typically this is not possible due to the sensitivity of all materials used and by human hand processes. Dolls that are machine or factory made of plastic or vinyl could possibly be perfect, but not handmade, soft, detailed, more life-like silicone art dolls. If there is some kind of a large, glaring imperfection on a doll, then the doll is labelled as a "boo-boo" doll and sold as such with a discount. This is not a boo-boo doll. Each silicone baby is a one-of-a-kind. There are no two dolls exactly alike.  Because baby Phoenix's silicone is very soft and realistic, he has a lot of natural movement. You do always need to support his head when holding him like you would a real newborn baby. I include detailed "Care Instructions" for all my babies. Silicone babies are soft and move freely as you hold them. When you see and hold Phoenix, you will totally fall in love because he is so cuddly and truly does look and feel like a real newborn baby.❤️

​​​​​​

In summary, I have lovingly painted, sealed, matted, directionally micro-rooted the hair, accessorized, and did a photo shoot and video for this baby just for you - the new mommy to be.  All this reborn work has been done entirely and exclusively by me, Amy Kate Irwin of Amy Kate Doll Designs. Please know that I put my heart and soul into each baby I do.
