Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Puppet Eyes


Hello all Critters;
    I know this subject has come up before, so please be patient with me if 
I repeat,  but  I am wondering what fellow puppet builders use for eyes, We 
have just started a build for a new show and I am making Large mouth and rod 
puppets and am looking for eye material.
    Specifically the shiny "muppet style" eyes. In the past I have used 
large wooden balls, clear X-mas ornaments, plastic spoons, ect... But I am 
wondering is there anything else that may work.  Also inexpensive.

Thanks
Mark
