Pippa is a (NEW TO 2026) sweet sleeping baby, poured in super-soft silicone, is around 20" and weighs about 8 lbs 13 oz. She fits 'newborn' or 'up to 1 month' size of clothes.
Pippa is sculpted by Anne Miller, and moulded and poured by Carolyn Doughty and is poured in our soft blend 'mallow' silicone which is the highest quality blend of prosthetic grade silicone. Pippa can be made as a boy or a girl, please choose below.
Pippa has been thoroughly cleaned of mould agents so there is no need to wash baby, and is lightly dusted with silicone velvet powder for transport so is peachy soft and can be painted directly onto the surface.
Pippa will be poured to order so could take up to 6 weeks from order to receiving your baby, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
PLEASE NOTE WE HAVE LOWERED OUR PRICES IN 2026 despite the increase in the cost of materials we use.
Please note: Silicone kits are individually hand-cast and hand-finished artist pieces. Small seam lines or minor surface variations can occasionally occur and are a normal part of the handmade silicone casting process. Unlike factory vinyl kits, silicone blanks are not machine finished and may require light preparation by the artist prior to painting.
SOFTNESS OF SILICONE
We are now offering you a choice of the softness of silicone you would like for your baby. Normally we pour our babies in silicone 25% - 30% softness, the smaller babies we would pour slightly softer, the larger babies can be more difficult to handle in the softer silicone.
- Super soft 20-25% - this silicone is beautifully soft and cuddly and suitable for any size baby, with or without armatures.
- Our mallow silicone is buttery soft and you will get those lovely wrinkles on the skin surface as you move your baby, once it is painted. It is suitable for smaller babies with or without armatures, but if you choose this option for larger babies (19" or larger) we would recommend you have full body armatures fitted to make baby easier to handle.
- We don't recommend you choosing to have your baby poured in straight Ecoflex 20, as the baby will be harder, more rubbery and will spring back into the original position when posed. But we are giving this as an option as some customers may prefer this.
- We are also offering to choose which softness for you, which is absolutely fine and we will choose a percentage that we feel fully compliments your baby.
We can insert soft metal armatures into your baby - if you would like armatures please add this at the point of ordering.
Information about Wire Armatures
Full-body wire armatures (including spine, limbs and head) must be installed before any finishing work begins, such as painting, fixing or rooting, as the armature becomes an integral part of the silicone structure. When used with care, armatured dolls can remain beautiful and functional for many years. However, wire armatures are subject to metal fatigue over time. Repeated bending—particularly in the same area of a limb—may eventually cause the internal wire to weaken or break. If a wire does break, it cannot be repaired or replaced, and there is a risk that a broken wire end could migrate within the silicone and potentially work through to the surface. For this reason, armatured dolls should be posed gently and treated as display or light-handling pieces rather than fully poseable toys.
