The sculpt

Karensa is the result of my research into true newborn proportions and is based on several scientific studies on real infants. I have aimed to replicate a baby that was born a little late, so is quite chubby, and is now about 10 to 14 days old and has lost her/his umbilical and the very puffy face at birth, and starting to gain more weight. Still occasionally doing the “newborn scrunch” but starting to have more relaxed hands and feet.

Karensa has a multi layer skin, which means the skin creates the sweetest little fat rolls as she/he moves – its not wrinkles – its true chubby folds!
