So, I impulsively bid on a different kind of baby. She looks like nothing I have ever seen! I cannot sew to save my life (my wallet thanks me for this particular skill deficit), so I was just floored when I saw this.
I did not know these were even a thing ![:star_struck: :star_struck:](//discourse.bountifulbaby.com/images/emoji/twitter/star_struck.png?v=9)

Is this a Jan Shacklford baby?
I don’t believe so. I first saw her in a reborn selling group on facebook.
Oooh, I think you do have a Jan Shackleford Baby here. If not it is a very good copy. Everything from the paint style, ear placement and stitching to the fingers looks just like her babies.
Oh she is cute! I used to make soft sculpture dolls and I loved making them. The sewing is not that bad, but sculpting the features is the tricky part. I love how they did the eyes and mouth on this one.
She’s really cute. I want to know how they did the fingernails.

Oh wow she is beautiful! I bet she is super cuddly
My mom used to make babies like that back in the 80’s. Theyre so cute.
I love cloth babies! Sometimes more than reborns, but don’t tell anyone I said that ![:joy: :joy:](//discourse.bountifulbaby.com/images/emoji/twitter/joy.png?v=9)
They’re just so snuggly, and the well-made ones pose more realistically than reborns with full limbs. They seem to retain more heat too, so holding them for a long time is lovely.
This baby was actually based on Realborn Owen asleep. When the artist made her she used Owen as inspiration! She does beautiful work. Good luck. I hope you win her!
