I did order the same color in two kinds of eyes in case one didn't work out (assuming getting the same size meant they'd also be the same depth--not the case). Testing would have required building a 2nd puppet, which I didn't have time to do given the holiday deadline (& the lengthy shipping time)...but the bigger problem was that testing the silicone eyes in another puppet just wasn't cost effective since they're $22USD/pair.<br /><br />I'll get pictures of her posted soon. Also in the hubbubaloo of the holidays, my laptop died, making it harder to upload photos to our slow-butt desktop. <br /><br />Lesson learned: Silicone is bad. :)staceyrebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264127285875028327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899066311981982081.post-34063022005785727432010-01-09T21:40:39.569-08:002010-01-09T21:40:39.569-08:00This is why in general I only work with products I...This is why in general I only work with products I'm familiar with, or do a test with new ones before confidently applying them to a puppet only to discover it falls apart.
