Alright, the 18mm glass lenses worked out pretty nicely for the big cat eyes...

Wowzers! That looks purrrrrrrrrrrrfect RK!
I like this one - almost looks like they're glowing.

I think that's much more effective for cat eyes when the iris almost fills the whole eye.
Thanks for posting!

No problem. Don't want to hog your whole thread though w/ my pics. These may be some better shots. My $50.00 camera does better close up or far away.
Compared to Nikki's vinyl mannequin head, this vinyl stylist head is pretty stretchy and conforms to the eyes very nicely. I can push the eyes out some and pack paper towel behind them giving them a little more exposure.
Still need to add eye lashes too.
I promise my next head will not be so freaky. It's just fun to make up bizarre stuff.

when I finally 'doll up', I would like to commission you to do a set for each of my dolls. would you be willing to create a price list for us based on a few common sizes? Thanks so much... fantastic ingenuity.

Thanks again mi6c and RK for the closeup pics!

She may be a little freaky RK, but it's a sexy freaky!

Dollectable, thanks for the compliment and your interest!
In order to give prices and advertise here on TDF I must become a vendor.
I've been giving serious thought to that lately but haven't decided whether or not it would be worth it going by the small amount of interest I've received.
Maybe I should just go for it and see what happens?

Anyway, for the time being, feel free to PM me for more info.

Thanks again,
MF

Mind blown! You know you always have my support and definitely more than a few orders!

OK, I have Aurora's head set up for some MF eyes. Hopefully she's not as spooky looking as Dominique. Unfortunately when the flat eyes were cut out the RH eye seemed to open up a bit more than the LH side. Could have been a small slice w/ the scalpel on one corner that let it expand open a little more.

That's a sweet looking face RK! Very nice!

Is that the hazel lens?

The eye openings look OK to me. I like how you did the makeup!
What might help is if you could adjust the eyes so that the upper eyelid just touches the top of the pupil. She just looks a bit startled.

Thanks
The styling head is Chantal by Hairart. The hair was all cut off so it only cost me around $15.00 shipped. The eyes are blue. The make up is my std black painted eye liner and just a trace of smokey grey powder eye shadow. I'm going for a cute look so I didn't want to make it all too heavy. The lips are just a smooth airbrush job and really need some build up texture. Same w/ the eye brows.

I think the LH side eyelid slopes a little quicker or flatter on the outside than the RH, but yes, the RH eye did need adjusted up a hair to match. I thought I had it pretty good in my lap, but dropped the head trying to get the spring hook installed on the neck!

It doesn't take much misalignment and camera angle to make it look off.
