Second Nature Nursery presents baby Luke, reborn from a 16inch Berenguer ''Sucky Lip'' sculpt.
Luke started off as the lovely Berenguer ''Sucky Lip''. He has been reborn by Artists Charlotte Mather and Helen Stephenson, the mother and daughter team here at Second Nature Nursery. Starting with stripping his factory paint and having a long soak to remove all residues. Luke was then painted with very thin layers of Genesis Heat Set Paints. Each layer laid down with a mottled effect in transparent skin tones. The effect is that of real skin that changes in the light. Just look at the little stork bites, veining and capillaries, so like a real baby. All detail was added between layers and Genesis is heat set so it is permanent and lightfast.
Luke's hair is handrooted with beautifully soft Mohair in a light honey blonde colour, it is sparse to represent such a tiny preemie. He also has hand rooted eyelashes that frame those sweetly sleeping eyes so perfectly. All his hair is double sealed on the inside to allow it to be gently brushed and styled by his new mummy.
No detail has been overlooked, from Luke's freshly clipped nails to his carefully picked outfit. He has been given barely there eyebrows to frame his eyes. His nails and lips have been triple sealed with Satin varnish for protection, see how natural they look. He comes to his new mummy in the outfit he wears from Vertbaudet along with matching cardigan, bootees, mittens and hat with a birth certificate and co-ordinating baby blanket.
