I just love my new eyes!
It took some extra time and procedures, but I think my new eyelashes are great (no other bear in our den has them, so I'm feeling pretty special!) and they say my eyeliner is guaranteed never to run or be uneven. Isn't cosmetic surgery grand?
Oh yes, my new nose is taking shape nicely too. This is the same soft fabric that my feet were re-done in, so I'll be all color coordinated.
There were some "equipment issues" in the operating room today, which is why my nose isn't complete yet, but I'm not too worried, I'm sure they'll get it taken care of
Love and bear hugs,
D
Surgeon's note: the equipment issues were that the clippers I have used for at least 6 years gave up the ghost and had to be replaced!!
Well I have heard about contour lines, a bit like needle sculturing, this procedure is done with a local aneasthetic and GAURANTEED to give you a lift, taking years off of you. I do hope that the surgeon took care about the local aneasthetic as we do not want any horrid experiences happening in the work place when we are undergoing surgery.

Oh my, and it just seems more and more of these "grand dames" are leaving us, aren't they......no Betty Grable legs here, but maybe "Bette Davis eyes"!!

Well, here's the quick and dirty on the how.....
the eyes are the clear glass ones I get from my most favorite supplier (Dale of course!).
Then I go and raid the nail polish drawer....2 coats of clear with glitter, 2 coats of pearlized pale blue, 2 coats of pearl white.....
the "whites" of the eyes are wool felt, the bottom layer under the white and the eye lids are the upholstry fabric that matches her feet.
The eye lashes are the individual "clumps" of eyelashes available from our local Long's drug store, each group was glued to the underside of the eyelid BEFORE the eyelid was stitched down.
When all that was done, I used the Coptic markers I bought from you to do the eyeliner.....
So, there you have it....credits all around to you, Dale, Shellie and Scott too for sharing what they do with eye treatments
Donna's Duin BruinsYou did a great job putting it all together!
