Okay, Fin to Baby Dr. Sheldon Cooper

So...yeah, Amy and Michael decided that since I mentioned that Fin reminds me of Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory, that Sheldon is his name now and I am to market appropriately, lol.
I have to admit that this sweet little guy is a near doppelganger baby for Big Bang's Jim Parsons. But I really liked 'Fin'!! Oh well, I am still in love with this tiny creation.




 I can't walk past the babies' crib and not stop to cuddle him. I really am excited to start rooting him. I just received his mohair today. But, that will have to wait, as I am rooting my East Indian baby first. On another note, I am so excited about his pacifiers! These Dr. Browns paci's are so spot on with his little outfit I can hardly stand the cuteness! The nibble design is pretty cool, but I won't be using that, lol.

"Tessa" by Didy Jacobsen & "Faith" by Heather Boneham

Almost done. 
I have had such fun bringing these cuties to life! Especially little Fin. His sweet face and elegantly long fingers and toes are to die for! I ordered their hair this morning and am working on the finishing details, realistic brows, some capillaries, textured lips and the like. I decided to not immediately order hair until now because I feel that the paints, even though heat set and permanent, need a couple of days to cure. This will give it time to just get a little stronger on the vinyl.



They both have opened noses and the brows are slightly textured. I am still working on adding more texture the them and also the little noses and eyes with a 3D illuminating effect. I am quite pleased with them. Can't wait to finish these little beauties.

Faith to Finn and Tessa

This week I am working on two really cute sculpts that I am really enjoying. 
Faith by Heather Boneham and Tessa by Diddy Jacobson.
Immediately after I received Faith a couple of weeks ago, I looked at her and thought, "I see a little baby boy". I thought that after painting began I would change my mind. But that is not the case, I still see a sound sleeping tiny newborn boy. So I decided that he needed a delicate boy name for such delicate features and have decided on 'Finn' or 'Fin', which I haven't really decided.

I'm working on his layers at the moment, baking and blushing. I love how tiny he is!
Also adding extra depth layers to Tessa, which I will find a new name for her soon. She will be my ethnic North East Asian Mongolian inspired baby.

Since Mongolia is the land between China and Russia I am thinking of grey eyes with light brown mohair and the Asian olive complexion with those wind blushed cheeks.
Sorta like this.

It was those cheeks. So cute. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.
I just shipped off my last baby, little Molly to her mom in Maryland and forgot to include my new business cards that just came in. Oh well, next time.

I'm really happy with them. One reason I will always use Vista Print. I really like their designs, even for their free cards.
