After almost a month of having a blank face, Saiko's eyes finally arrived a couple days ago! I ordered a nice and simple pair of green decal eyes from JunkySpot along with some shoes and socks for her. The shipping took a little bit longer than usual and I am not exactly sure why, but I don't mind that much. I was so shocked to see that it arrived, especially since my boyfriend had lied and told me that it hadn't.
I used like three different tutorials to help me with putting her eyes on and I was still super nervous that I would mess them up. For my first time using decals I actually did a pretty good job. My biggest problem was the eyebrows because they kept scraping off for some reason. I don't have any idea how I can fix them so she will have to have some funky eyebrows for a while.
Based on my experience with the decals and how annoying they were I still think that I would rather use them then paint a face onto a doll. I tried that once with an old Bratz doll and...woah it was hhorrible!! So, for anyone that is looking into buying their first doll and don't trust their ability to paint a tiny face, I definitely think that decals are the way to go! Of course you'd still have to paint some kind of mouth on your doll, but that doesn't seem too difficult. I think that all I need to do for Saiko's mouth is a little bit of blushing on her lips. I definitely don't want her to have an makeup or cheek blushing, I just want her to have a simple face for now.
Thank you for reading!! Please comment telling me your opinion on Saiko's new eyes!
