My dream baby is finished! (Miracle LLE) IMG Heavy! :)

[Sis]

I must begin by saying that I would not be holding this incredible baby in my arms right now if it weren't for two amazing ladies here on DF. Long story short, I was literally taking off in an airplane at the moment of the pre-order for Miracle. One precious DF lady offered to order Miracle on my behalf, but Miracle sold out so fast that the lady wasn't able to get her. But did this sweet lady give up? Absolutely not! She hunted high and low and eventually found a Miracle that another DF angel was selling, and I was able to buy her just hours after the pre-order (once I was back on the ground again). Without these two amazing gals, I would not have this sweet baby girl. THANK YOU BOTH!!!!!!

Never in my wildest imagination did I think that I would be working on an LLE baby after I've been reborning for 16 months. It is truly a dream come true! Miracle presented a challenge for me--I've never had such difficulty painting a baby before. Maybe she was hard because I was so afraid of doing something "wrong."

Even so, I am SO pleased with how she turned out. I tried a few new techniques on her--mostly on her hands/fingers. I love how it turned out. And oh my, Laura Lee did such an amazing job sculpting this baby! She curls up in your arms so naturally and feels the most realistic of any baby I have made yet. I am so in love with her!

Okay, I'll stop blabbing now. Here she is, my dream baby: Clarissa Adrianna

Thank you very much! Usually I don't like reborns that show emotions, but for whatever reason I absolutely love her little squeezed-up face and wide open hands.
