Crafted by hand, Cassandra Camille Allene, 35, will soon spend several weeks creating each one – starting with just a ball of clay.
Featurs are delicately carved out of the clay as using a craft tool, finishing with an adorable, tiny newborn baby’s readymade to show off to her customers.
Explaining the process, Camille said: ‘Starting from a lump of clay, and tiny tools including toothpicks, sculpting a lifelike or miniature baby begins. It takes many, many hours of patient contemplation to form a realistic baby and finesse with fine details – including wrinkles and fingernails.
The babies have sound like artwork of different sizes ordered out of the clay, or they provided an intricate contrast to enhance their tiny wrinkles and creases.’
The base of babies’ hair is crafted to imitate fine baby hair and are blushed with paints for realistic flesh tone to enhance them. Some Small Babies have pearls in their navels or they perhaps an enlarged contour to emphasize their tiny wrists and creases.
Cassandra said: ‘The first miniature baby I made was curled in a fetal position, and I even gave it an umbilical cord, as if it was still in the womb. The shape and size of the baby seemed similar to that of an eggshell. I tried this, and the baby’s perfect profile inside an eggshell – thus, the “Egg Babies.”
‘The sharpness of and textures of different parts of tiny babies’ ears or they provide an interesting contrast to each sculptor’s of babies, or they probably an exaggerated proportion to emphasize their tiny wrists and creases.

Cassandra said that her customers love her work – with many people buying for both sentimental and heartwarming reasons – including bereavement or grandchild’s graduations.
She said: ‘They rely on touch, people are heartened by the warmth of their own child or grandchild’s warmth, or they are holding a part, like two little treasures found in one shell!’
