Kit matching for Grandma memorial

Baby Talk
1

I know this is probably not the best way to go about this, but I need advice on a kit or 2 that could favor my Grandma (not looking for an exact match, just close enough). She passed away Friday and we just had the funeral today. I would like to make myself a memorial kit of her.

I only have a few pictures of her older…no baby pictures (the 2nd is my favorite cause she actually smiled for that one). I found 2 kits that I think would be close to either nose/mouth/eyes. Is there any you would recommend?

I think Cecilia is a good match, the dimples really stand out.

Hugs @AmandasyReborns I like Shaya but Cecilia’s nose is better. I think it comes down to open or closed eyes.

Thank you ALL for the help! :revolving_hearts: I really appreciate all the advice from @PenelopesRebornDolls, @jlesser, @AnnieSokay, and @cherielynn09!

Sorry it has taken so long to reply…been going over and over the considerations trying to decide what to do. I have ultimately decided, at this time, not to go with either one, as I think that would put too much unnecessary stress on myself to get them to look like my Grandma.

I have decided, to just make myself a baby with her eye and hair color and name it after her. The best way I feel I could honor her memory is with one of the most recognizable kits (in my opinion) and my dream kit, Saskia by Bonnie Brown. I already have her, just never decided what I wanted to do with her…make her human or alternative. Now Saskia has a purpose and I can’t wait to eventually get started on her. :two_hearts:

I don’t know how many times I’ve had my mind made up about a doll then changed it, lol. I really wanted to do a portrait doll of myself but lost interest. Now I am going to make a portrait/memorial doll of my Mom out of Gabriella Schick. She looks enough like her that it should work, lol.

Lol, I’m one of those people who thinks newborn babies look like other newborn babies more than anyone else. In other words, wait six months and I can start to figure out who the baby looks like
