New Soom Resin Eyes
They were stupidly expensive--not for the eyes themselves, but for the EMS shipping. I absolutely love them,though. Here is the box opened:
It's a slider box, which is fine when you have something only 2 inches or so across :D Here they are
out of the box--the little black specks are dust from the foam they came in, and I just didn't notice it until I enlarged the pix on the computer!
Aren't they cool? This style is like the Oscar eyes, with inclusions of "stuff" in the irises. The color is
"Starlit-Vanity Black."
I ended up paying slightly over 60.00 for them, but I justified it in the name of research. :D
(Now you see why most of my dolls wear Sculpey homemade eyes). Here they are in the re-release of Onyx; the eyes were sold as a side item for her:
The size, shape and feel are just like my very favorite eyes, Dollbakery eyes. I would buy more Dollbakery ones (Michelle is based in the US) but her schedule and my wallet very seldom line up. Dollbakery eyes are hard, clean, very smooth and very refractive, with slightly larger whites and smaller irises so they look amazing in hard-to fit eyes like Iplehouse.

Eventually I hope Safrin will carry the Soom resin eyes like they do the Soom silicon "squishy eyes." Speaking of Safrin, they have a handy chart of what they sell and what is "bakeable"..Soom silicons are apparently, "bakeable" (!)

Safrin, like everyone else in the world, is currently on vacation.
By the way Fabric Friends and Dolls (based in the US, Maryland) now seems to have both Sweety Eyes and Mako Eyes (link goes to the special Mako eyes, I happen to have the gold Moon ones and they are super (they were a gift).
