I hate to give up on a project but for now I'm calling the Dolly Warmer a failure. The concept was a simple heater to about 100*F to warm her to around 80*F safely.
As it sits after an hour it only brings her temp up about 10*F, around 65*. The problem is available current, even with a fully charged car battery it just doesn't get up to and hold temperature.
I will try another, larger battery but it doesn't look good unless I can score a power supply that would do a constant 15A @ 12VDC.
This was worth the experiment since I had most of the stuff laying around.

Worked perfectly.
I've been told most eyes are similar size. What size large fake pearls, did you use? I've got a 6ye head. Approximately 32mm eyes I'm told. I'm thinking of doing the same thing with playing marbles.

Finally modded my 140's eyes. Does anyone have a good source for additional 32mm eyes?
