So, I have the flu but have been kinda working on stuff too.  When I am not napping lol.

So here are the new eyes I worked on this week.

 

 

This is the beginning of the work. I made them with a mold I made for a ball jointed doll I am working on and this was the size for the arms and neck piece.  Then I used a nail head to make the first indentations. After that I used a ball head tool to make a second indentation in the middle for the pupil area as I have a hard time doing circles for them. I then baked them in the oven.

Then I used Genenis Heat set paints once they were cooled off (the next day) and mixed different colors to create the eye color. I dried the paint with a heat gun and again let them rest for a day (me too since I am sick). I then tried different techniques to make the black pupil on all of them. Some I had to touch up some I didn't. I again dried it with a heat gun. Then yesterday I got a new set of paint brushes I ordered off of eBay. They are made for painting fingernails but they work fine for the paints and I touched up some colors and added a darker edge around the iris like most eyes have. This morning I used a block nail file to clean up the areas on the outside to make them more even and baked them again. Once they cool completely I will add the resin to the eyes and take pictures of the process as well.
