Glass Eyes From West Germany?

Having repaired two dolls recently, I went back to continue making one of the dolls I was making last year.
I've chosen these beautiful green eyes for this doll. Last autumn I found this pair of eyes at a doll fair in Kensington High Street, London.
I don't know who made them but it says W. Germany on the case.

eye size : 16mm

Doll's Make-up

Even though there is often a plenty of time to prepare for an exhibition, I always change the colour of the doll's lips, and the thickness and angle of the eyebrows on the doll's face a few times at very last minute. As expected it happened again for the Wandsworth Fringe. I changed the lip colour to coral pink from fusia pink originally this time. I still need to make the dress for this doll, but she has been discharged from my dolls' hospital.

Thank you very much for everyone who came to see my work at Makers Uncovered event as a part of Wandsworth Fringe. It was a great aopportunity for me to introduce how to make ball jointed dolls.
