My name is Yve - I was born and bred in Germany, but I live since several years in the beautiful Garden Route and Klein Karoo in South Africa.

I'm the mother of two gorgeous twin-daughters 

I love to create these highly realistic baby-dolls, because I am deeply fascinated by the art of transforming vinyl pieces into a precious, true to life artist baby~doll.

After many hours of work they look and feel like real babies, they are perfectly weighted with tiny micro glass beads and hand-painted with superb quality Genesis Heat Set Paints, which is applied in many light layers for a very natural life-like look, that will last for generations.

All my dolls have detailed veining, typical new-born mottling, and a realistic baby blemish.

As a professional artist, each life-like doll I create is unique to itself, and all are hand painted and put together by hand, the micro rooting of the lashes and the fine mohair can take up to 30 hours.

The mohair can be dampened and styled as you like, a baby brush is the best of use on it. The nose is delicate shaded, the eyes and mouth are slightly moistened to give a more realistic look.
