I'm excited to present my baby Layton, along with his fraternal twin sister Irys (who is featured in a separate listing). Originally, Layton's sculptor, Joanna Kazmierczak designed this beautiful baby as a girl, naming her Lily. However, once I finished, it seemed more fitting for him to be a boy. I decided to pick a boy's name that began with the same letter, I settled on Layton, which is also considered a gender-neutral name. As a mother of fraternal twins myself, who are now nearly 16, crafting these two has been especially delightful, reviving many cherished memories. I hope the love and care I've poured into their creation shines through for you.

I am temporarily away from my workshop until next year, so the pictures of them are taken from my home, in front of a window with natural light. You can see more of him through his Facebook photo album link- Facebook

I have used Genesis heat set paints to develop his detailed skin tones. Layton has beautiful skin with fine lanugo hair on his limbs and face, nails that are tipped and sealed, painted eyebrows, a gently varnished mouth, and I have used 'IArtReborn, Matte Skin' medium to finish his delicate skin texture.

I have hand-rooted Layton's hair using baby brown 'Slumberland' mohair, which is exceptionally soft. It has been sealed from the inside to allow gentle washing. I recommend using a spray bottle with a mix of diluted baby shampoo and water. He will arrive with his own baby brush.

Layton is ideally sized for that perfect baby cuddle. He fits into newborn to first size baby clothing, and I've weighted him to approximately 5.5 lbs. I've made him extra floppy, giving him a highly realistic feel.

Layton has full-length arms and legs connected to a premium soft cloth body. Baby lanugo hair has been added to his limbs, and his arms and legs are weighted evenly with glass beads and pure fiberfill. His head is weighted as well, with extra weight placed in his bottom, all encased in fiberfill. His head is extra floppy, you will need to support his head like a real baby.

If you're thinking of adopting Layton for a young collector, it's important to remember that Layton is not a toy but handmade art, complete with small parts. He must be handled with care and love.

Layton has a magnet fitted behind his mouth to hold his magnetic dummies.  (Please be aware that these magnets are very powerful and can be unsafe near pacemakers. If they need to be removed, please contact me first.)

Layton will be prepared with a lovely box opening, 

A Christmas outfit will be included if he is adopted before December 2024
