AFRICAN TRIBAL REBORN BABY "SURMA"

from CoCo sculpted by Natali Blick

Ltd Edition Long Sold Out- COA 778 / 1000

Please keep in mind that my reborn dolls are not toys so are not suitable for children. Surma is an unique and unrepeatable piece and has to be handle with care.

PAINTING:

SURMA has been reborned with BC Heat Set Paints. This is my first african baby 100% painted with the BC Paints created by Beatriz Clemente and I love the way I can play with my dark african skin tones palletes.

SURMA ha renacido con BC Heat Set Paints. Este es mi primer bebé africano 100% pintado con las pinturas BC creadas por Beatriz Clemente y me encanta la forma en que puedo jugar con mis paletas de tonos de piel africanos oscuros.

 I apply many fine layer of paint to give the skintone depth and realism. I always work for the best and natural result in my african tribe babies. Surma is  delicatly painted complexion with slight mottling, veins,   birth marks, cute moles, tiny nevus, wet areas, shaded nostrils ... And every details has been shaded and bright places.  The final coat is a varnish protection and a texture medium to increase real skin appearance. A complex set of nuances that print realism to her skin.

Painting Effects:

- Hand painted Hair & Eyebrows.

- Tiny nevus & beauty moles

- Tribal bodypainting:  The body painting is inspired by the African tribes of Ethiopia. I chose  very basic geometric figures of great beauty for their simplicity and their irregular and childish points & circles. These details are sealed, resealed and more than sealed but I still recommend taking care of these areas because they are raised motifs.

Rooting: High quality mohair to add a tribal styling detail in the top of the head.

ABOUT FULL GIRL TORSO

CoCo is a vinyl kit with a full girl torso that is assembled by connectors so the baby will remain rigid. You can move her head and limbs but the body is not docile. Even so, for me, this kit is a jewell long sold out and I decided to reborn a very special piece that could be admired in a showcase or display.

MAGNETS:

Surma has 1  strong magnet in the mouth for magnetic pacifier so please keep away from heart pacemakers and electronic equipment.

*Props, blankets, wraps,  tipi, , toys... you see in the photos are not included.

My babies are reborn at the seaside and they all are painted and photographed with natural light. Coloring wraps and props  can project different nuances in the skin tone but this is the idea: to show to my clients how  my skin tone adapt to the different lighting and colors.   Also coloring and brightness can vary depending on the screen of your personal computer.

This photos have been taken in a variety of natural lighting conditions and different days to show the changes in Surma´s  skin tones and her volume.
