What I love about this is that you make the eyes separate from the face, so if you don't like the way they look, you can try again. I practiced making eyes on paper before painting the felt.<br /><br />Fiona has templates for the eyes, and if you feel nervous about using a tiny paintbrush (I do!) you can dot the paint on with a toothpick. I do this all the time :-)<br /><br />Enjoy this wonderful book; it was Fiona's beautiful faces and eyes that drew me to this book.<br /><br />BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174223079054928870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-17510381547146014902012-03-19T12:37:20.799-04:002012-03-19T12:37:20.799-04:00Gorgeous!

I can't believe I've never seen it before! What a wonderful treasure trove of inspiration and ideas! I can't wait to use one of your patterns to make a doll for my daughter's Easter basket this year. I just started crocheting dolls (mostly disney princesses) last summer.
