How to care for your custom dolls:

---

Dolls should be handled gently. The sealant used to seal the dolls can be sensitive to be finger prints, so avoid touching their faces directly. Handle dolls with gloves if you are comfortable doing so. Clean with compressed air cans or by gently blowing air on the dolls. Soft, clean paint brushes or make-up brushes can be used to remove dirt and debris. Do not use a rough brush, or any brush that has any amount of make-up, paint, or pigment remaining in its bristles.

As a doll lover I hate saying this, but these dolls aren't meant to be played with. Customized dolls are inherently meant to be art dolls for display. Even gentle play can cause damage to their face and body paint, immediately or over time. Whether you are an adult or child collector, I recommend having dolls you preserve, and having separate dolls to play with and style. This can help exercise your creativity, and create companionship with your dolls! :) 

For the plush dolls, display or very gentle play is recommended. 

For one of a kind plastic dolls, display safely on a shelf using the complimentary doll stand. Do not place in the path of direct sunlight. The sealant I use protects against UV damage, but harsh, natural light can still cause fading. For one of a kind plush dolls, I recommend displaying on a shelf instead on a bed or couch where they may be susceptible to damage. 

All dolls with re-rooted hair have either nylon or saran hair. Some dolls hair made from acrylic yarn. For best brushing, use a metal comb. Metal combs help reduce damage to the hair. Use eye brow brushes for finite brushing, like brushing your doll's bangs. 

At the moment, all clothing on customized dolls is not removable unless specified otherwise. Removing the clothing will damage the garments, and possibly the doll. Jewelry and head wear are often both pinned and glued in place, so I don't recommend removing them, unless the doll's description states they are safe to remove. All display props like bags, bottles, books, etc., are removable. 

Many of my products are made with 75-100% wool yarn from merino sheep. Sometimes the wool consistency is lower, anywhere from 25-60% merino wool. All products have their materials listed in their description, so please read carefully if you have allergies or sensitivity to wool. You are always welcome to message me at the email below if you have any additional questions about materials. :) Avoid getting the dolls wet to prevent damage to their hair, clothing or paint.
