4th baby??? AWESOME. I love the mottling and hair! So adorable!

Thank you so much! :hugs:

Thank you! I took the baby out to the grocery store for “marketing” (I’m selling the baby on EBay) and I got a huge crowd around me when a lady asked me how old he is And I told her is not a real baby :laughing:

Have you tried rooting with shorter hair? I cut mine into thirds before I root most the time. Then you dont waste much or have to cut much off.

Using hair cut to the length you want it or close to the length you want it means you don’t always end up cutting it. Sometimes you only end up trimming it or doing nothing depending on how it looks on the baby. It contours to their head better and looks more natural. I usually cut my hair down to around an inch and 3/4s to 2 inches and root with that. Also because you use less hair, you can root more babies with the hair you buy. I finished a set of a and b twins with less than 1/4 ounce of mohair. Good luck!

I really love your Iris, @NancyW. Her sweet face, complexion, her hair. Everything. Was she a planned keeper or did you make her and decide that you couldn’t part with her?

thank you! I made Iris for myself last tear for my birthday and I made Peggy for myself for Christmas, last year. They both were suppose to get twin brothers, but well, you know how that goes (the shoemakers children need shoes) LOL

Absolute gorgeous

Beautiful!
I love the way you did her eyebrows and what a lovely skin tone! I still have two kits left, my first one that I just finished is light skinned (custom redhead) so it would be fun to do one with a darker skin tone.
