Emilio's New Eyes.

[leene_chan]

Ta-da!

Actually, we were planning on giving these dark kite purple eyes to Maya, but now that I've made up my mind to sell Emilio's default eyes I wanted a pair of violet eyes to keep on hand in case I felt he couldn't look like his namesake any more ^^;;....

I'm getting the hang of changing his eyes, but it really is a pain. The best thing for me to do has been to stick the eye on my finger with a blob of Tallina's wax, lower it into his head and push it in gently like a contact lens, then fix it in place with more wax. My hands are scraped up a bit, but I guess there has to be a price to pay for him being so tightly strung!

Thinking of Christmas and Ciel. I would love to give her short hair. But I don't want to have to buy another wig...;_;...I wanted to make her look like one of those Lost Angel SDs because I already have a white wig! I guess that nothing is written in stone.

that's how I put eyes in too! :P He looks good with the dark purple. I'm trying to imagine them in Maya, but I like her in those light blue ones.

Really? :D No one ever talks about exactly how they do it. It was all a big mystery to me! It's such a pain with the SD13 style headcap, but I only have one doll like that. Maya, Fuuka and the three minis all have easy-open heads.

The light blue were a color that Kristen ordered on the spur of the moment because they were about to be discontinued. She suggested we swap the eyes (Emilio was supposed to get the light blue) because this cute custom Aya-boy we saw once on a Japanese page had light blue eyes and he/she was really striking! ^o^

Thank you ^_^! They're the #11 dark kite purple. I can never remember them for their numbers--that's where your page comes in handy!
