Even though Audrey’s head had been opened before, I decided to use the glue stick method for eye chip extraction. It was a little scary (and bizarre looking) but it worked pretty well. I took out the orange chips and painted them brown. I also painted the pupils of my fleige p-chips.

I wasn’t especially happy with how the brown eyes looked, though. They were too dark, and made Audrey look like one of those sad-eyed velvet paintings, all dark pupils. Later I discovered a post on the TIB forum that made me realize a solid coat of paint probably wasn’t the right approach.

So I gave Audrey the fleige chips instead. I actually tried to take out Xanthe’s orange eye chips, but they were stubborn. (The superior bodied girls’ chips are glued, I think. Audrey has an excellent body.) (As for me, I’m just average.)

I’m going to work with the extra eye chips and see what I can do with them. It’ll be good practice. Oh, and my double-sided tape left a huge gap where Audrey’s scalp attaches in the back. Looks like I’ll have to get some super glue.
