Presents to you
The Dakota Sculpt
By Heather Boneham
Length: 15 inches
Weight: 3lbs 2oz
This precious bundle of hugs is made from extra Soft Bountiful Baby, BabySkin(tm) Vinyl, about 15 inches long, with full vinyl legs, and 3/4 length vinyl arms. Dakota's head circumference is approx. 12.5 in. The body is made from a doe suede fabric that is both soft and skin toned to both look and feel like real skin. It is also jointed for easy movement at the shoulders and hips. These babies do not just 'look' real, they are weighted to 'feel' real when you hold and cuddle them close.
Nothing but the best! I use safe, non toxic, non allergenic glass beads for weighting the dolls, encased within the middle, as well as in the limbs and head, all sealed away under safe, plastic plugs.
At 15 inches and just at 3.2 pounds, 'Dakota' will wear Preemie size clothing quite well and you will love buying clothes and dressing and undressing this cutie.
Dakota has a magnetic pacifier, or dummy as well as an additional magnet in the top right side of the head, so mommy can add a hair ribbon if she decides to dress baby as a girl.
Caution: as with all magnets, they have a + and – side so before magnetizing any additional bows, one must be certain how the head magnet is placed.
Dakota is actually gender neutral and you can decide for yourself and name this Gift of Love, I simply had to decide when dressing today.
I use only the best quality products for my babies. I start with Genesis Heat Set Paints, and the best natural mohair, then take the time to 'micro root' them one strand at a time, just as 'real' hair grows. Then of course, 'Awake' babies have beautiful, acrylic eyes that seem to look straight at you. All this takes a great deal of time and patience, but you would notice the difference if it were rushed, or skipped, and so would I.
Each baby is a One of a Kind. Dakota is perfect with delicate veining and soft mottling, and natural hand rooted eye lashes and eye brows.
I think you will love the curly, medium brown, locks! Who will be momma?
He is truly a precious, adorable infant that so looks like he just came home from the hospital! He just begs to be cuddled and nurtured.

Care Instructions
**Please take note the one imperfection that in my mind makes Dakota less than perfect, and therefore is being offered as a "BooBoo Baby" is this: Before microrooting the hair onto the head, I 'map out' the hair pattern on the scalp; this time the colored pencil I used, stained little Baby Dakota's scalp a slight reddish tinge, particularly in front of his/her right ear. I have taken a photo and tried to display that and can try to take more upon request, but that is why I am offering this baby at a discount.
while these dolls are assembled carefully and lovingly in a smoke-free home, and have anywhere from 40 to 100 hrs invested into them, they are considered collector's items and not toys. When cared for as such, you can expect to receive many years of enjoyment from them. However, they are not sturdy enough for a child to play with, and do contain small parts. Please never leave these baby dolls unattended with a child under the age of 12 yrs old, nor handle them in a rough manner. Again, these are sold as collectors items. Please treat them as such. :)
**It's true, there are less expensive babies available out there; some are made with sand, rocks, cat litter or stuffed with simply poly fill. Some are quickly painted with a slight blush to the cheeks and sold to you bald or with 'plugs' of low quality 'hair' and then yes, they can put them out faster and sell them to you cheaper. But then what you are buying is simply a toy. If that is what you are looking for, you will have no trouble finding them. If you are looking for a lifelike, reborn, one of a kind pieces of art, look for work that is done by artists that take the time to do each baby as an individual creation. We care for our babies and hope you will also.
