Have you ever opened the eyes of a sleeper baby?? I've closed the eyes of an awake baby - it was a knoops hannah, i sculpted closed eyes on her with super sculpey... it worked out really fantasitc.....

however i'm thinking i'd like to try opening the eyes of one, but i'm a little nervous as to if this will look natural or not... wondering if anyones done this before or knows of someone else who has.

Good Afternoon,

I would love to see a picture of you Hannah with closed eyes. I have never attempted to close eyes, but I have opened them.

It was some years ago, when pretty much the only dolls around were Berenguers. Boredom go the better of me, and the dolls weren't overly priced. So I opened one eye of the snookie face..To make him look like he was just opening his eyes. I simply just cut it with an exacto blade and then with a very hot rod like metal, that I heated over my stove top..I slightly melted the edging to not make it appear to not look split. I also opened both eyes on a Berjusa..He did look alittle odd..And I didnt finsh him..lol... I wish I had a picture to show you of the snookie but that was some years ago..And somewhere in time got deleted off my computer.

Kat
