Earlier this week I posted a question about artificial water. It was to fill a small bottle with eyeballs in it. The eyeballs will be (roughly) Aurora Jekyll and Hyde scale. Well, I finally got a little more work done on them and thought I'd let you guys see them. I have not yet attached the ganglia, but I have some fine colored silk thread that should do the trick...I'm thinking reds and blues and greens. I should say from the start, I used decals for the iris's. I'm going to need at least twice as many as I have here.

Those eyes have it, all right!

I would have offered to send you some artificial eys, but they are for sheep. Yes, that's right, I only have eyes for ewe!

Eye should stop now...

BTW, they look VERY good! Are those beads being used for the eyes?

Well if it were last month EYE would say the 'EYES' of March are apon us. But it's April so never meyend.

Yes! That's the best eye could come up with....sorry.

And like what's his name said, you might better test the integrity of the iris decals to make sure they aren't damaged by the 'water'. Coating them with a good coat of Future may help?

Beye, beye,

Thank you for the replies, fellas...you guys cracked me up, and made my day.
Yes, those are little plastic beads I found in one of my craft boxes. Actually, they are silver metallic. I just filled the holes with putty, gave them a light sanding, and primed them with plastic primer. After that, I put a coat of Gesso on them, and the rest is just painting, applying the decals, and attaching the "stems" to them where the ganglia will be attached. It's not really hard, but it is a bit time consuming. I spent so much time l :freak::freak: king at them, Eye could see them in my sleep!

Sorry for the goofy Eye-cons...:beatdeadhorse:

Click to expand...

And "Eye" appreciate you not getting upset over the "pun"-ishment you received!
I think hal9001 had the right idea and seal them with future before you try embedding them in the water mixture...
