I just checked out a few of your tutorials, and it looks simple enough for just painting the backs of the eyeballs.. But how do you actually secure them into the pony? Im really excited to see more tutorials as you have time for them! I have so many questions bubbling up. Would you mind if I made a list of my questions and PMd you?

I would love to see some close up shots of those eyes!I like shareing, I had been making customs eyes for well over 7 years. Selling them on the BJDs fourm Den of Angels. as well as posting up tutorials and helping other make eyes. The reason I wanted to share is to see what other people would do with adding these eyes to thier custom ponys. Uhm....So pretty please?

WOAH, those are awesome! I don't collect BJD, but have always thought the eyes on them were pretty amazing...so to see them used on a pony is just LOVE! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and where to buy them! That is really cool of you. ETA: Do you have any plans to sell ready made eyes that could be bought and then put into a custom?
oh lawdy dem eyes!!!! so piercingly beautiful! the second's eyes look like marbles I used to play with with my bro... so beautiful, I wish I could have her♥the rose on the first is so well drawn! It looks like the rose from beauty and the beast :3
I have a question... eyes that are already made... how do you dismantle them?

Honestly I did but according to your links the place that sells the 'oval' eyes says they need to be dismantle I would buy the already dismantled ones but they are not the shape I need Still the site is useful and I'll be looking back there
The oval eyes? oh ok, I have a photo tutorial that shows how to dismantle them, it's not ready to be posted up the website yet, but It will be up soon! Meanwhile, I offer photos from the tut. (This method will slightly damage the eye-base. but if places correctly in the pony, the damage of the pin-hole will not show)Step one:visitors can't see pics , please register or loginStep 2: visitors can't see pics , please register or loginStep 3:visitors can't see pics , please register or loginBasicly Your making a hole on the base on the side of the iris then useing a pin to stick under the iris to pry it up and out. (Hammertime!)
These are stunning, I love your eyes I have some exspensive ones ready painted that I was going to use but I think I got the wrong size or I cut the wrong size hole so I gave up, I would love to see how you cut the ponies eye holes to know how they fit in and what size eyes you use? Can you do a tutorial for us and what glue do you use to keep them in? I'm not too keen on the eye lashes though! By the way your painting is stunning, that rose is beautiful!
