I love Eyeco's. It's just a pity that they start at 11mm, I would like to have them in 9 for the tiny dolls. I haven't looked into oval eyes yet, Leaf is the only one with those long eyes.

Thank you :). He was a lot of fun, unfortunately I don't know what became of him. The owner didn't have a body for him and I think she sold him. Maybe he's blank again. I don't know, practise, I guess. I do a lot of lettering tattoos.

I also use Eyeco eyes--when I'm not using glass. I haven't had much trouble with yellowing, but I also have heard that the putty is usually to blame. A silicone putty works best with the soft glass eyes. For elongated eyes I like oval shaped glass eyes. I never have a problem with gaps with those.

That's a super interesting face-up on Luwen. How did you get the words to look so perfectly as if they were set in type?

I've heard of the yellowing issue, but I've read it might depend on the putty. Putty with oily substances seem to cloud eyes. I've not had the experience yet, maybe because my dolls are stored in the dark and I only take them out for pictures. Sorry to hear you had that.

That is a very interesting comparison, thank you for doing it! I personally have a thing with doll-eyes, and get so frustrated at my own dolls when the putty shows up at the sides D:

I have owned Eyeco eyes, and their odd sizing is great! However, mine got really, really yellowish and in the end, they did not look well at all.
