She is a beautiful Abby! oh my word ... do you sculpt a baby in one day?

Abby · Senior Member

Not usually! The bigger ones take ages, but this one's tiny and not very detailed, she's purely a paint tester!!

Abby,
I checked out website and I have to tell you your portrait babies are stunning! How much do you usually charge for a newborn size portrait baby?

Thanks Tina! Funnily enough I've been re-vamping my site all day and have just re published so it looks completely different! I usually charge £250 for a life sized baby, less for smaller ones, the portraits do take a lot longer than regular sculpts cos they have to be just right. Thanks for your kind comments and interest!

That was me before, don't know why it came up as anonymous!!

Good grief, girl! You are one awesomely talented lady! Do you make sculpts for others to reborn? Hugs, Melinda

Abby · Senior Member

Thanks Melinda! :) That is my ultimate dream to have a kit made of one of my sculpts and to see it reborn by others, but I have no idea how to go about it. I had a brief look around and it seems to be very expensive to have kits cast,I could only find one company and they charged about £700 I think for only a few kits.

Abby, if you ever figure out how to get a kit made and need someone to reborn it, I gladly volunteer to reborn the baby for you!

Do you like the way your sweetheart rose paints turned out? From the photos, I think the color is very true to life for a Caucasian baby.

Tina W. · Guru

I will keep your site in mind. I always wanted clay sculpts of my two children but sadly am not that talented myself to do it.

Abby · Senior Member

Thanks everyone! Tina, if you ever do want them done please do let me know, I love doing portraits (and I'm flexible with prices).
Linda, i'm not sure about the paints yet, I won't be sure until I've tried them on a larger baby. They are quite different to genesis, very translucent, they look like pots of jelly! They don't have the chalkiness of genesis which is a good thing, but I did think the colours in the sweetheart set were a bit dull, can't quite put my finger on it, but I thought the same when I've tried genesis pre-mixed sets too, so maybe it's just me!

Every camera, monitor, etc. can display things differently. Lucky me to have a laptop that makes those paints on your doll look very real. Have fun with the paint experimentation.

Linda, I tried the paints again today and I am now sold! As they are translucent you do need more layers, but the result is very natural and delicate, I'll post a pic of the new baby when I've put him together so you can see if you agree. i think I definitley prefer them to genesis.
