Here is the test eye I made from the UV gel .
I think I like the other one better. This eye seemed to grab hold of the paint and not let go. It got cloudy after baking also. I like the technique but like the
polyclay technique better.
Same as before, I made an indent using a pencil to accept the eye.
Here is the eye in the clay.
Some lid worms are added.
Lid worms are smoothed with knitting needle then smooth flat paintbrush. I also added an eye pin so I could add some dangles later. I baked the piece at 250 for ten minutes.
Some Genesis colour is added. then the piece is baked again for five minutes.
I added more detailed paint but pretty much know at this point that this technique for eye making isn't going to work as well as the other. I baked it again for another five minutes to set the pigment.
I decided to frame the piece in
bugle beads.
I added an amber dangle.
and as always a bow.
Here is the finished piece.
