Alessandra, the big mushroom baby

A baby is as pure as an angel and as fresh as a blooming flower.

Alessandra, 15 inch Natural Fibers Doll

Hello everyone. I hope you are all healthy and happy these days. I am very happy but health has not been great these last couple of months. Still, I am here working and making new babies every day. I want to introduce you to Alessandra. Going with this month’s mushroom theme, I decided to dress her up in mushroom clothes also, because, well, why not. I got a little excited with her outfit and might have made too many things for this outfit. I don’t know, I think she looks adorable. I went a little more minimalistic with her sleeping gown because she actually does not like too many clothes when she is sleeping. She gets hot really fast while sleeping.

If you are thinking of adopting this sweet girl you should know that Alessandra loves the rain, but only when it is hot outside, because she actually likes playing in the rain. She also loves mud, mud pies, mud castles, and paper boats floating in the fresh puddles. Is good that Summer is coming because during winter we might need to think of new ways to enjoy the rain. Alessandra also enjoys being read to, dancing in circles while you’re holding her, and playing peek-a-boo. Her favorite food are clementines, she gets excited when she gets to open them by herself.

Alessandra is a sweet girl with an easy going personality but she does like to sleep with someone. She is definitely a co-sleeper.

Alessandra is a 15 inch natural fibers art baby doll. She’s fully soft sculpted and anatomically correct. Her skin is Laib Yala in dark brown. Her limbs are fully lined and firmly stuffed with clean wool and glass beads. Her torso is needle felted in two parts and weighted with glass beads as well. Her head is floppy. Her arms and legs have been hand sewn to her torso three times to make it extra strong. They are very floppy as well and bend at the elbows, shoulders, thighs, ankles, and knees. Her head is firmly needle felted and soft sculpted in the mouth and nose. Alessandra’s hair is a a hand crocheted black wild brushable mohair wig cap. It has been hand sewn to her head. This type of hair can be gently brushed. Her blushing has been made with colored pencils, chalk pastels, and a red bees wax crayon. It is not permanent and it can be refreshed with a bees wax crayon.

Alessandra is not a toy. She’s an art doll intended for gentle play by an adult collector or an older child 10 and up. She likes to play and cuddle but you need to be gentle with her like you would be with a real baby.

Alessandra’s adoption fee is 1,120 USDollars plus shipping. Shipping inside Mexico is free with standard mail with tracking (It can be upgraded to Mexpost or private courier at the customer’s expense). Shipping outside Mexico needs to be by a private courier and fully insured because she is a weighted doll. Shipping to the US is 75 USDollars. Other parts of the world will need a revised shipping quote. Customs fees and taxes are the responsibility of the buyer.

A short, 2 month/ 3 payment plan is available to purchase her. However, at least 1/3 of the doll’s price needs to be paid upfront from which a 50 dollars non refundable deposit will be taken. The doll and shipping cost need to be paid in full before the doll gets shipped.

If you wish to adopt Alessandra make sure to fill out the form at the end of the post. If you are unsure that your entry went through, just send me a private message and I’ll confirm it to you.

Please only fill out the form if you are completely sure you want her and are able to pay for her either in full or following the rules of the payment plan.

I will take entries for Alessandra until, Saturday April 27, 2024 at 6pm CST. If more than one person is interested I will draw a name. Once a family has been chosen I will send a PayPal invoice that is due upon receipt. Because I know we all live in different time zones, the person that gets selected will have until Sunday April 28, 2024 at 6am to pay for the invoice. If they fail to do so, I will draw a new name.

As always by commenting you agree you are 18 years or older and please do not comment for someone else, that is just not fair for others.

If Alessandra does not find a home in the time stated above, she will be announced on Instagram and Facebook as ready for adoption.
