I finally, finally got brave enough to open Audrey’s head all the way, and take out the eye mechanism. It wasn’t easy–for one thing, I thought I was going to break the side of her face–but I did it. I decided not to take the whole thing apart, though. I carefully painted the eyelids with two coats of acrylic paint, then coated the lids with a thin coat of varnish sprinkled with extra-fine glitter.

Using the directions I posted a few days ago, I added glitter to the orange eye chips I had taken out earlier. They turned out so well that I decided to remove Audrey’s pink chips and use the newly glittered ones instead.

While everything was drying, I sanded Audrey’s eye holes and applied chalk pastels as eyeshadow. I put her back together (hooray!) and added a row of eyelashes as a finishing touch. Audrey will be getting a new lip sticker, and then she’ll be ready for her big debut.
