Love the Kewpie! And Choca, you are magic with the dolls, I love your new one. Could you elaborate a bit when you describe what you did to the eyes? thanks!...terri

Oh thanks, you are too kind. Mostly I'm just cheap and fixing these girls is therapy... :^O

Here's my Super Secret Technique! 😉
I thinned down some white glue and, using a toothpick, carefully dropped a TINY bit into her blown eyes.
Then I use a little brush to spread it around. This fills in the cracks and keeps the crackled chunks from falling out. The glue dries clear. After it dried, I just used a micron black marker to paint new black irises over the yellowed eyes. It's not an ideal fix, but at least she doesn't have the creepy haunted look anymore.. Here she is just out of the box:

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems,

but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

This is Baby May by Fayzah Spanos wearing a sweater that my Granny made almost 40 years ago for my niece. I have had lots of problems loging in on the Discussion Forum. Something about my "setting". Something must of work.

cynthiakayorphans...How special that the doll can wear your niece's sweater. I know it must be special to you both and your doll baby looks so happy to be wearing it.

Oh, Choca! I never knew, just never knew! That eye save is absolutely fantastic, something I would not have dreamed of so thanks so much for sharing your secret with us! She looks amazing in the before and after!....terri
