Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Making Eyes


Since I don't go for reality.....I do like black marbles  (something I 
learned from the Tuckers). They have a very nice reflective quality that can 
make the eye seem alive.
You might be able to find them at florist shops.....or a multi-store (like a 
Macy's???) In their home division.
They are used to hold flowers in a vase...real or fake.....
I got a container of 600 marbles for like 10.00 many, many, many, years ago 
and have not run out yet.
Of course they are not the only thing that I use.....sometimes just paint, 
or a hole or a little protuding round of some sort of modelling medium 
(clay, magic sculpt, etc.). Also many years ago bought out a stock of high 
quality glass rhinestones - you know multifaceted with a reflective quality. 
They are called black diamonds...I might put those in the eyes in some way 
as well.
I think (at least for me) that the suggestion is what is important.....
