Both, but at the moment I need blue ones for Maizie.

Are these the same kind?

Bobbi at truborns used to sell them! I’m not sure if she still does… I have been wanting to try these forever!

Don’t know how this works with heat set paints, but you can give your eyeballs a wash to give the sclera a bluish tinge.

My favorite eyes are the glass blown from Germany, coming in second place are eyeco eyes… not the ones sold on most reborn sites, but eyes from their platinum line.

Helen Jalland has her prototype of BB’s Clyde on ebay in which she used the Lauscha glass eyes with specially tinted schlera. You can take a look and see how you like them. If you don’t need the ones with the tinted schlera, Dolls by Sandie has a nice variety of colors of the Lauscha glass eyes.

@AmyR777 , can I do the blue wash on glass eyes?

As long as they can be baked, you can…unless you use air dry paints on them.

I generally use Genesis Vein Blue but have also used Gen Phthalo Blue 02. I use a mop brush and pounce it on.

I usually go up a size anyway because I think they look better, same for eyeco platinum. For 22mm, it would be a 23. @AmandasBabies
