The head is approx 10 to 12 inches round (10cm in diameter) and flexes to shape as the baby enters the birth canal. Detachable snap umbilical cord.

Today I am working on my Birth Teaching aids. The uterus,placenta/cord and baby. I have not finishes the baby yet, adding some features is next. And then I will work on a crocheted Pelvis. I think this set will be awesome. the baby feels really real in your arms. the head is weighted and bobs back like a newborn does. so you must support the head of even a crocheted baby. ;) the cord will be detachable with velcrow. The Uterus or cervix opens up to a full dialation of 10 inches. the baby can be shown to crown at all various stages of labor and pass through to show delivery.

Batik on Canvas abstract art

2009-06-23T13:51:00.000-07:00

I have painted abstract flowers this week. This is uncharted territory for me but I am having fun. This technique is what I call Batik on Canvas. It's done by applying a layer of removable medium and painting over,then peeling the first layer off to achieve the final result. It's very surprising and you never know what you are going to get.
