Hi again, I understood from reading up on the sculpt that you can use both 12mm and 14mm eyes on May, but what is the preferred choice for most of you? I *think* I used 12mm for my Minoru back in the day, but I honestly can't remember *hides face*. It sometimes looks like May's eyes are sculpted a little bigger - but I might be wrong on that?
@Katrine I have 14mm glass eyes on my May, I think they fit her really well. Here is old photo of my Hana and May, both have 14mm eyes. Shiny evening by Kaisu, on Flickr P.S. I love the baked skin Shinies, I wish I had the finances when they were for sale, I knew I'd regret not getting any...
Thank you @xaya ! Your girls are adorable It looks like 14mm is a good fit for them both - thanks for posting the picture. I was actually hoping I could use the 12mm I have for my latis, but do you think that would be too small, perhaps? The 14mm looks really sweet on her... Maybe I just have to give in when I finally are able to buy a May and get some nice eyes in 14mm
@Katrine I think the white parts might be too small in 12mm eyes and there could be a gap on the sides depending on the shape and type of the eye. Here is quick reference photo, sorry about the quality. Reference of eyes for Shinyfairy May. Light beige eye is 12mm Hand Glass Craft and hazel brown is mouthblown 12mm from Glassaugen. #Bluefairy #Shinyfairy #May by Kaisu, on Flickr Shiny May with light beige eye 12mm Hand Glass Craft and hazel brown eye mouthblown 12mm eye from Kanis Glassaugen (if I can remember the company correctly, it's been long time since I received these eyes). The mouthblown glass eyes have bigger iris than the other one but both gap from the sides. It could be that if you don't mind that much of the gapping 12mm of certain types could work. I don't like the light beige on her in this size but that's just the type of the eye where the iris is quite small compared to the one that is bigger. And I do like bigger irises too. @Ellesmera Thank you so much. ^^
I'm sorry to add the consensus that 12mms are a "very likely not" for May. I have tried low dome, full round glass 12mm eyes in my ShinyFairy/Minoruworld heads and didn't like the look. There were gaps at the corners of the eye sockets and the smaller iris size did not flatter their cute faces well.
My Baked Minoru has arrived! I spent some time assembling her and picking out a wig and temporary eyes -- Baked Minoru Jr Bluefairy by christina, on Flickr
Thank you! It was actually more fun to assemble her than I thought. I think I'm going to make her a 1970s disco teen with ABBA records and platform shoes
Thanks! I'll have to research 70's makeup for her faceup -- I was way too young to wear makeup back then myself!
Everyone's shinyfairys are so cute! I love all of them. I posted asking about shoes a while back but never got around to posting a photo, here's one to fix that! My Jaden on the Junior body Her name is Violet!
WELP, it's not even the 5th of September yet here, but I've ordered my SF May!! This is my third Bluefairy doll and my second from them directly, but my first tiny-sized doll. I'm beyond excited!! AHH!! I'm gonna sew her so many things while waiting....
I never got around to posting my girl Ani...she's a Junior Leila. I finally got her permanent wig and eyes last Monday!! I've never had this size before, but I absolutely love her!
