I found out from the eBay seamstress how I could have glass eyes installed. So I did, even though it was very expensive. When my Ellowyne returned with her new eyes, I was amazed at the difference. The glass eyes added a whole new dimension to the doll. I knew that I had to learn how to do this myself so that all of my growing Ellowyne collection could have glass eyes.
So through trial and error and some online research, I have taught myself to install glass eyes in Ellowyne Wilde dolls. I have also installed eyes in Madame Alexander's modern Cissy and Coquette, Tonner's Tyler Wentworth, and also in Susan Wakeen dolls. Most of my dolls now have glass eyes. I am now installing eyes for other people, and you can see my work by clicking Ellowyne Glass Eyes by Monalisa.
For Ellowyne, I install through the neck opening. Nothing is cut except for the painted eyes. On wigged dolls like Cissy, I cut the pate open, then open the eye pouches.
Pricing
I am sorry, but due to the rising cost of fuel and seemingly everything else, I have had to go up on my installation price.
