Disassembled "children"
Belgian artist Beatrice Van Landergehem does everything to give her dolls the most natural look. Nostalgic grandparents are ready to pay her several thousand euros for the opportunity to buy a baby that looks like a real one.
The dolls consist of several parts: the limbs and heads are made of vinyl, and the body is made of cloth. The materials are carefully processed, and the "skin" is dyed several times to give the tone a natural shade. The specialist carefully works to ensure that the hair and eyelashes of the dolls look as natural as possible, as well as the weight of the toys, so that customers feel like they are holding real children in their hands.
