Most she sculpts in Polymer Clay, which is cured to a hard, porcelain-like finish.</B></div> <div> <B>Camille uses tiny tools to form a baby from a lump of clay, and uses paints to add realism. The hair is fine strand english mohair.</B></div> <div> <B>It takes many, many hours of careful sculpting to create a baby along with all the fine details that make the baby realistic.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>A resin limited edition of babies is made by a mold being made of the original sculpture. The mold is then filled with colored resin, then pulled from the mold, finished and painted - resulting in multiple babies that all look like the original baby sculpture.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U>Any other questions please ask!</U></B></div> <div> <B>To send email to Camille</B><A HREF="mailto:ceallen@telus.net" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:ceallen@telus.net"><B>  CLICK HERE</B></A></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
