So I’m not sure what’s happened to my reborn but she’s gone a mess. She’s always been handled carefully, kept in a safe place etc but somehow she’s no longer the doll I originally bought. All the stuffing has sort of dropped down the body so there’s nothing in her shoulders, I can actually feel the neck as there’s nothing around it at all and the body feels way too heavy. I’ve ordered a new body but when I swap her I want to also either change or reposition her eyes as one in particular has moved (think it’s loosened or dislodged).
I don’t yet know how they are fixed in until I remove her head. Are they going to be glued in or just slid into the sockets? Will they be easy to remove if they’re wholly round? If I do get them out how do I put new ones in?

. I will take some better pics when I’ve fixed her up, these aren’t good as I was trying to hold the camera and the light in front of it and her head up so the eyes would show! I’m very fond of her, she was a custom and I feel rather guilty for taking her apart but her body has gone seriously out of shape. It’s kind of stretched and looks way out of proportion (held too much? too heavy?). Is it frowned upon to fix up another artist’s work though? It’s still their work in the painting and rooting and obviously I’m not going to sell her, but she needs a little tlc. I mean no disrespect or upset to her artist.
