I finally got her
eye sockets to fit her 8mm eyes better. I even considered getting some 6mm
eyes. But I found some really creative doll eyes that I could paint myself and
then glue them together like Blythe eyes. The thing is, the smallest ones I
could find are 8mm. I ordered some smaller bungee cord for her arms. The one I
have is too thick to fold. I think I might start polishing her head and give her some color and eyelashes. I worry that I will get carried away and bore all the way through her head and have to start over. I got some extra eyes to practice too. 3M putty holds the eyes in well with stone also. It took a week for the glue to cure around her magnets. They kept coming out every time I opened her head.
Waiting for paint and glue to dry is the hardest part. I realized that if I use Tung oil to polish her, that means I can use oil based paint on her if I want. I still like the translucency of the water based products. But it's more possibilities.
Topaz with golden eyes.
