Boggling, also known as an Eye Lid Lift, does just that...it lifts the eye lid so that less lid or no lid is showing. This procedure can be done on EBL and SBL Blythes and does require that you open the head. The earlier BL Blythe eye lids are already "boggled" or "lifted" in their stock condition.

  • Using a razor knife, shave the plastic in the area shown below (red line).
  • It is IMPORTANT to shave only a small bit. All it takes is approx. 1mm. If you haven't removed enough, you can always easily go back and shave a bit more. If you shave too much, it will be difficult to build that area up again.
  • To check and see if you've shaved enough, you can put JUST the eyelids back into the head and push down on the piece where the spring is attached, to see how much eyelid will show.


 

  • Some EBL Blythes have posts in the back of the head.  If your Blythe has these posts, they will need to be altered as well in order to achieve the boggled effect.
  • You will need to shave away a bit of the plastic on the posts where indicated in the photo below.
