2021 Professional Doll Makers Art Guild’s de Gold Awards – 3th Place limited edition baby

Onze oudste dochter Aaliyah was vijf jaar oud toen zij de wereld van reborn baby’s ontdekte. Wetende hoe kostbaar en kwetsbaar deze prachtige baby’s zijn, vertelde ik haar dat ze eerste wel een paar jaartjes moest sparen. Trouw stopte ze haar verdiende centjes voor klusjes en goede rapporten in haar spaarpotje om mij anderhalf jaar later te vragen of ze misschien genoeg gespaard had. Samen zochten we online naar een lieve baby voor haar kleine moederhartje en met de komst van Thomas Asleep – gemaakt door mijn collega in kunst Mirte Kooi – was bij mij de liefde ook aangewakkerd.

Nadat ik de eerste twee jaar sporadisch een reborn pop had gemaakt, besloot ik eind 2017 een doosje polymer klei te kopen. Spelenderwijs probeerde ik een gezichtje, handjes en voetjes te maken, met onze zoon Ezra als mijn voorbeeld. Hoewel alles nieuw en zeker niet makkelijk was, bleek het creëren van een baby in klei een heerlijke en ontspannende bezigheid. Na ruim vier maanden was mijn eerste sculpt af en stond ik aan de voet van deze gave hobby. Stap voor stap doorliep ik allemaal nieuwe uitdagingen. Het maken van een silicone mal met moedermal, het pigmenteren van silicone, mengen van chemicaliën, aanschaf en gebruik van de vacuümkamer en uiteindelijk het gieten van mijn eerste silicone baby. Elke stap is enorm interessant en brengt specifieke behendigheid met zich mee welke ik mijzelf gaandeweg eigen heb gemaakt. Toen uiteindelijk mijn eerste silicone baby uit de mal kwam, bleek er nog veel meer te ontwikkelen. Het preparen, schilderen en matteren van mijn baby en tenslotte het één voor één insteken van haartjes middels microroot techniek.

Elke stap blijft uitdagend en brengt mij enorm veel plezier. Ik hoop dan ook nog vele jaren te mogen genieten van deze kunst en het maken van lieve baby’s. Mijn naam is Manouk Waij, welkom in mijn studio ~Mini By Manouk.

Did you know a perfectly rooted crown isn’t actually rooted in a swirl?

Ik doe dit nooooooooit. Eigenlijk maak ik enkel mijn eigen baby’s. Van een doosje klei tot aan de laatste haar op hun bolletje. Maar mijn man heeft de mogelijkheid om BB’s nieuwste silicone baby Steven voor mij mee te nemen. One lucky mom in Nederland straks, want naar mijn weten zijn deze hier nog niet in omloop 🙌🏻 Foto’s zijn niet van mij, maar als voorbeeld, partial Steven wordt mijn volgende project ❤️

Oh how much I love this sculpt 🤗 Arlo is not available, sorry.
For my Facebook followers: I am unfortunately blocked from Facebook for 5 days and also 28 days in groups. I can’t respond or post my babies for now, but will be back as soon as they release me again. No big deal; I am part of breast cancer groups and forgot to block details when posting reconstructive surgery pictures 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well… 🙃

Unfortunately it doesn’t end here, be aware people!! 

Scammers can have many videos or pictures because they initially show interest themselves. They pretend to be afraid of being scammed and ask for more and extra detailed videos. They don’t end up buying the baby with the original seller, but use these videos to scam others.

This Arlo is NOT available. He is happily in his crib with his mommy, she has no plans on selling him.

Unfortunately scammers are having a lot of ground in our dolly world. What can you do to not become a victim to this?

❤️ Buy from a reputable artist directly
🧡 Dive into their work, posts and reviews and contact them. Have some conversation before adopting a little one
💛 NEVER use PayPal’s Friends & Family to somebody you don’t know. You are not covered in that case
❤️ If you decide to purchase a baby from a mommy, let them make a video for you. A video with them holding the baby and with specific questions answered or performed. For example; can you lay a spoon next to the baby while you video it. This can help you ensure that person is really in possession of the baby
🧡 Become a member of scammer groups on Facebook and scan the name in the search engine if you aren’t familiar with the seller.

Somebody has been scammed last week with this picture. The buyer asked for a safety picture with a smiley face on it, so the scammer photoshopped that in there too. 

Afterwards a quick search in scammer groups answered for me that this lady is in fact known for being a scammer. It is shocking however how ‘good’ safety pictures can be photoshopped and how aware you have to be every time.

Work in progress; skin complexion and tiny veins on the chest. No blush came around the corner yet, not even on the little nipple 😉 This is the build up of 7 layers, I have about 5-6 layers left on the front 🤗
