Baby Sena

4/24/2019

4 Comments

 
Little Baby Sena from SupiaDoll arrived yesterday. She is my Christmas gift from Jan. I had wanted to keep her arrival 'secret' until after she was painted, but the artist sent along so may free gifts that I just had to take some photos to share anyways...
Picture
Baby Sena is just 15 cm tall, and will be joining my Victorian family once she's painted....
Picture
The artist sent along several gifts - the little pink tutu, and a bunch of Korean treats....
Picture
My Sena will be a 'baby', as opposed to a toddler, so I created an 'ultra-sound' to announce her expected upcoming arrival....hopefully at some point in the not-too-distant future....

(I know they didn't have ultra-sounds back in the Victorian days, but who cares??)

Dear Martha, what a cute "birth" announcement.
I can't wait to see the adventures she will have.

Thanks! First she has to get painted, and I have no idea how long that will take.

She really is (make that soon-to-be) an adorable and interesting addition to your Victorian family. I love the ultrasound announcement! And you're right, who cares if they didn't have ultrasound back then, this is the delightful world of make believe!!

I decided that she would be a girl. The family already has two girls and a boy, but I prefer making girl clothes. And who says I have to be 'equal opportunity'?

I had hoped that she would have fit into one of the tiny porcelain baby's clothes, but they were too big, so that means I have to make her something. And not just 'Victorian', since her family can also live in the present (even though they haven't the past year). Which means making contemporary baby clothes too. So I guess an ultra-sound would be okay for that version of them after all.

By the way, I used an ultrasound photo of one of my granddaughters to help create this dolly version.
