Description of Sili

      Sweet Sili is a sweet, realistic sculpt by Sabine Altenkirch. She has 3/4 arms and full legs, a soft vinyl belly plate with a doe suede contoured cloth body. She is weighted to nearly 5 pounds with Glass Beads and Poly-Pellets. All internal weighting supplies are professionally concealed, glued, and lined respectively. She has strong magnets concealed behind her mouth for her pacifier. Her pretty Blue are German Lauscha Handblown Glass.

         Sili's Mohair is a soft and shiny light blonde color. (Hair Styling suggestions found here.) Her silky mohair is directionally hand rooted with an ultra fine German 43G forked needle - only one or two hairs at a time in the pattern of natural hair growth. Sili has a swirling crown. Her whispy eyelashes are in light blonde. All her hair is sealed inside with two layers of Water-proof sealant and lined with felt. It can be gently washed when necessary. Spritzing Mohair conditioner and a little Baby Oil will keep her hair styled and lovely! I like to style the baby's hair while wet and let it air dry in place.

 

       Sili's fair skintones were created with Genesis Heat Set paints in a rainbow of colors in dozens upon dozens of layers to create depth and realism. She has painted light blonde eyebrows. All of her skin is sealed with a thin, textured layer of transparent medium for protection and added realism. Her mouth and tongue, lips, eye waterline, nostrils, and nails are coated with either a glossy or satin medium for appropriate realistic finishes.
