SIZE GUIDE FOR ADULT DOLLS EYES


If you are making dolls to the correct scale, then use these proportioned measurements.
Fairy sizings are different, and are at the bottom

 a 6 foot human has a 12-13mm iris
Therefore:
3 foot doll; 6mm iris
18 inch doll ;3mm iris
12 inch doll ;2mm iris (12" barbies have just over 2mm irises!)
9 inch doll ; 1.5mm iris
6 inch doll (12th scale); 1mm iris
4.5"; .75mm iris

BUT
People usually prefer to use larger than life eyes for polymer fairies -you may not have even noticed this!
It's all a matter of your particular taste and style
Choosing a size a little over scale will give your fairy an appealing child like quality but the more you increase the eye size, the more cartoon like the sculpture becomes
Here are my personal size recommendations for ADULT fairy eyes
12 inch fairy ;2.5 -3mm iris
9 inch fairy ; 2 -2.5mm iris
6 inch fairy ; 1.5 -2mm iris
4.5 inch fairy; 1 -1.2mm iris

CHILDREN AND BABIES

Babies eyes are only a little smaller than our own!
They are fully grown by the time they are young children
When making realistic babies eyes, you should sculpt the eyes so that very little of the whites are showing
For simplicity, the following paragraph refers to 6inch fairies and her children

If you are making a baby, 1" or smaller(measured in foetal position), use.8 to 1.5mm irises.
You could use this size of eyes for a young 3" fairy child
For older children and teenagers you can use the same size as the mothers eyes (1.5 -2mm)

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR SMALL EYES 1-5mm and smaller
.
I reccomend that only lightest coloured eyes are ordered for eyes
For 1.5mmm or smaller, all the darker colours look like little black dots, and you really can't see the difference between sky and bluebell for example.
For brown eyes I use honey colour paint, this has the result of dark brown eyes on such a tiny scale, so if you really do want me to use walnut paint you will have to specify this.
Dont worry too much, I will email you about this before I start work on your eyes. We both want to be sure about these important details.
NOTES FOR ALL SIZES
Another thing we can discuss before I start is if you want a varied sizing. For example, if you dont actually need all the pairs to be the exact same size as each other. My measuring is pretty precise to about .1mm
but if you are happy for me to work to a looser specification of .2 to .3mm, your order will be quicker and you get a slight variation to choose from if you make your dolls in different sizes.
