I looked & looked & then POW I got this crazy idea that I could make one.
I grabbed a marble & an iris from a cheezy eyeball - attached the iris - stuck the whole thing on a rod and grabbed some supplies that I found around the house.
Ready to roll
Anyone who knows the windows of the soul knows that there must be a blood flow.
A red dyed cotton craft ball can be cut and attached to the marble with some nail polish. I used Sally Hansen Double Duty Base & Top Coat. It stinks pretty bad - but works o so well.
Small blood flow is great - but it just isn't enough to keep an eyeball fresh - so the addition of larger vessels is necessary.
For this - nothing beats a red dyed feather. The veins of a feather are just so perfect.
Now we're talking - that is an eyeball!
i forgot to take some pics of some of the process but i will fill you in on the details.
All that work to make an eyeball - but depth is the key to reality.
All the work seen above is coated lightly with Maybelline Express Finish #12 (Snow Bunny)
it gives the eye a translucent white coating over the deep vessels.
a few more coats of clear & then large vessels added again.
Now a change up in coatings.
NYC Long Wearing Nail Enamel is thick & nasty but has a very neat property - it is affected by gravity very slowly & always dries super smooth.
As you can see in this picture - there are air bubbles trapped & that is because i was moving to fast to complete this - oh well!
you can also see the depth created by the initial base of capillaries & vessels under the translucent white.
The back was a little weird also - so I added an optic nerve...
Time to make another one - only better!
