These pictures show a woman who makes realistic baby dolls for up to £5,000 each - with customers including mothers who have lost a child.

The unbelievably life-like dolls are sculpted from clay and then poured into silicone before details are added using specialist paint.

Each one is handmade to client specifications and can be fully customized right down to hair colour and skin tone.

Ellie Habibi, in her 20s, a professional doll maker from West Yorkshire, builds each one from scratch.

She has amassed thousands of followers on social media with her lifelike creations.

Most are bought by collectors - but some by grieving mums or older parents with an empty nest.
