This is where I get my nail heads for my dolls eyes. Making eyes is so easy I am creating a small tutorial on how I do it;Here are some images of 4 mm nails heads brown and blue.

Elemental Art Doll Progress

This is the beginning of my Elemental "Water" Art Doll.   Still need to finish her head and hands.
Here she is as a Water Element art doll in progress. Lots more to do. 


Beautiful silk from China.

Here's my inspiration for my Elemental art doll.  "Water" is my choice.  This is 100% silk.  And I will use Paverpol to drape the fabric.

Make your doll eyes beautiful!

Here's an example of the different facets of the Iris and Pupil.  There's at least 4 colors within the eye.
If you want a green or brown eye then find the equivalent of each color hue and use the placement of each triangle to place your different hue choices.  I use nail heads to make some of my eyes, see links to go to their home page.  put in nail heads and they will come up.

This is my sculpture made from paper clay.  Practice, Practice, Practice...lol!

I love the mini tubes of acrylic paints.  Because I use so little when mixing and painting the size makes it convenient.  I get this brand at Hobby Lobby.
