(SALE PENDING) Catalina...a baby Sasha for January!
It has been a very long time since I worked on a custom Sasha baby; and in fact, it's been too long since I worked on any custom Sasha creation. I have had these baby parts here for over a year.. in a bin just waiting. She began with a Sasha baby boy head and an early sexed baby girl's torso and matching arms and legs. I couldn't just "parts" this doll out - she needed to be a new creation!
Catalina has been restrung, and all her parts thoroughly cleaned. She does have a shiny appearance; after all, her parts came from two Sasha babies that were very, very well loved! The head had features damage, and all the features were removed and repainted in a Sasha studio baby style. Her mohair wig of natural fiber is also inspired by Sasha Morgenthaler's studio babies.
I didn't want to dress Catalina in a new looking outfit, rather I wanted her to look like an older studio baby, so she is dressed in a handmade antique sunsuit from the 1940's. It has a little yellowish staining on the front and a seam under one arm that is a little open, but it all adds to her charm. Like Sasha's early babies, her cheeks are very subtly and gently blushed.
Catalina is $195 and will arrive with a certificate and signed on her foot. International shipping available - Paypal accepted. :)
