MannequinFan Eyelids Now for DS Dolls!! Woot Woot!
Super Super Hats off the ManniquinFan for this wonderful addition to DS Dolls. The items from MannequinFan were sized correctly for the DS eyes. In testing, the DS eyes were bit challenging because of the rather complicated system that DS uses. In the end, MannequinFan was able to fashion something compatible. Now, I'm still working on the coloring a bit. Because DS uses a dark eyeliner, blending the lid was a bit difficult. If done right, I should really strip the coloring from the DS eyeliner and color the new MF eyelid the skintone. But stripping the eyelid color has its own challenges as well - so I'll have to think about that some more. For now, Nadia is looking much better in sleepy poses. And I'm thinking that there's going to be a new full pictorial of her soon! Again - I really appreciate that MannequinFan took the time to consider us DS owners. If you want a light, simple project to upgrade your DS; one with a HUGE benefit for posing emotions - definitely reach out to him. You won't be sorry.

Re: MannequinFan Eyelids Now for DS Dolls!! Woot Woot!
First of all I had to remove the eyelids. There is not way to hide it per se. I was going to try to trim it down, but alas that's just the same as removing it. I removed the lashes carefully with an Exacto knife. Now - over the months, I caused a series of small tears to Nadia's eye sockets. This was really unavoidable if you remove her eyes at all. In an attempt to better understand my doll, I did this about a half-dozen times. And that was enough to cause little tears (despite being super careful each time).Kazuya wrote:Great idea. I’ve been considering getting the Kayla closed eyes head so this is of interest. How did you blend the top and hide the lashes?
So the first thing I did was to fill in the tears with Sil-Poxy.
https://www.smooth-on.com/product-line/sil-poxy/
I opted to use more Sil-Poxy to "Fill" the tears instead of using it to "Bond" the tears. I've used Sil-Poxy to bond tears before. It works great! But I figured that since there was a stress point, might as well fill because it would reduce the stress point (avoiding future tears). After the filling was done (and curing), I started to color in the parts that were discolored from the tearing and the lash removal. I used a fine sharpy because I felt the control would be best. I don't have a lot of sophisticated art tools unfortunately. But for black on black it worked very well. I then sealed it with a small layer of Sil-Poxy. The top-coat of Sil-Poxy also allowed me to blend the blend the sharpie a bit. It was really easy to control with a sharp cotton tip. For blending the eyelids - I did something that I'm not sure was the best way of doing it.
I used powdered color (like typical stuff from walmart - I can get the exact kit names if people really want it).
The reason I used powder instead of paint is that (1) I didn't know what I was doing, and (2) I wanted to be able to slowly increase and decrease the colors. I figured that paint would be more "one and done". And the color matching would be key to making the illusion work. As it were, I always knew I would do this to my doll. In fact, when I made my build-doc for Doll Sweet, I SPECIFICALLY asked for NO EYE-LINER and No Upper Eyelashes. They just chose to ignore my request. But at least they didn't add the eyebrows. That was important so I could have different eyebrow expressions. So - In order to fix that (since I'm not adept enough to remove silicone make-up), I made the top black to match DS make-up. And then I blended it down to a skintone. I could have made the whole thing black, but I was trying something different. Straight black may work better, and for Reetzia's eyelids I might just do that. I used several layers and sealed each layer with some matte clear spray sealant from Home Depot. For the eye lashes I bought some nice ones.
Ardell Color Impact Lashes, Demi Wispies Plum
https://www.amazon.com/Ardell-Color-Imp ... B00CA0F6Y8
I bought the hype that enhances the eye color. I don't know if it did. I'm leaning "yes". Either way, it looks real nice.
The only warning I would give is that the Demi Wispies are a real pain to get off the packaging. Like .. SERIOUSLY.
Its easy to ruin it if you pull it off wrong. So have a pair of tweezers and an Exacto handy.
The upside is that if you get the glue off with the lashes, it sticks right to MannequinFan's new eyelids. Just use a sharpie to blacken any fake-lash parts that stand out.
Guys, this is the first time I'm doing this - so I wouldn't say this is a perfect tutorial by any means. But I hope it helps!

Thank you - I know a lot of people don't think too much about this - but giving back in whatever way I can to the forum is important to me. If it wasn't for TDF, I honestly would never had gotten a doll. And despite rarely having time to play with her, I really do enjoy doll ownership!Jimbofod wrote:Wow, you're on a role! Thanks for the detailed walk-through and photos. Even for the basic eye repair, I'm sure this will be helpful for many people.
