I was helping a friend clean her parents home and she was discovered in there among many other dolls. I am hooked on holding her, she is the snuggliest thing I have ever owned. She really is such a special doll and I can feel that in her. Thank you for your work and I’m sorry to hear that people took advantage of this idea. I am however so happy to know the history and I feel like I really have a special baby that was hand made with love.

One for me and one for me to gift to my sister in law. I saw them on the shelf and fell in love--exquisitely crafted porcelain faces and the soft furry body was like cuddling a baby--the perfect weight and shape for comfort. My husband passed away in 2005 and I moved to MN (closer to family)packing my beloved Ark Baby with me. My sister in law passed away several years later too. Her Ark Baby disappeared but I still cherish this beautifully handcrafted gift that was made by a small group of ladies in a labor of love. I keep hoping to find another one someday. Blessings to the gifted artisans.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07264319903432046261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284019363271881618.post-15314713308430905192019-09-16T01:21:50.922-07:002019-09-16T01:21:50.922-07:00Are you still selling these adorable babies?

I"m very sad to hear that people can be so cruel just for profits. You truly made these babies come to life. In fact, I purchased seven of your babies at an auction in Palm Springs, CA.years ago and I wouldn't part with any of them. I have them displayed throughout my home and love them. My daughter and granddaughter were admiring them and found your website about their beginning. Again, thank you for sharing your story and for your dedication and love making these babies. I will cherish each and everyone of them. You are so talented and truly loved for creating these angel babies.

Porcelain face well made, it didn't sell, when it came time to dispose of the left overs, I was doing a buy out of a few left overs, when this now known Ark baby fell into the box of stuff, I pulled it out three times, every time I turned around it was back in my box of stuff, after the fourth time I gave up, I didn't want it, but it was determined to go home with me, weird I know, it is one with a teddy bear that the head is in one hand and the body is in the other, and she is crying. now I know her history.
