1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Good eyes for tiny heads and narrow eyes? (8mm or so)

Jan 5, 2009

    1. Ok, so the title is kinda vague, but the gist of it is, I'm trying to find eyes that will catch the light BEST in small heads, with narrow eyes. I have a pocketfairy didi, and I've tried a couple of pairs of glass eyes in her but no light reflects out of them at all :X

      I'm wondering if urethane eyes (ED is what I'd go for) would reflect the light better, or is that eye just too small to have any decent light in it and I should just give up and not waste my money on eyes that won't do much ;)

      Thanks all :)

      (PS if anyone has photos of ED eyes, 8 mm in a doll, I'd love to see them!)

    6. If you go ED I suggest milky for 8mm they tend to reflect light better for photos

      Those raw-kiss eyes look great. Looks like metallics.

    7. Right now I'm using acrylics but Masterpiece soft eyes are amazing too. Pricey but special.

    10. Masterpiece makes metallic and metalized versions in small sizes, I've used them and have been very happy with the way they really light up tiny faces. Drawbacks... they take a long time to deliver, I've heard some people have had quality issues, and they can attract dust. I don't seem to have any of these problems and really like the metallic eyes for tinies.

      I'll have to try Raw Kiss, I haven't tried them yet!

    11. Thanks so much! I like the "iris eyes". They are very reasonable for glass eyes, too
