Hello!
In this video I will show you how I make eyes for my polymer clay creations. There are 2 ways I use to make it:
* Painting glass cabochons.
* Sculpt it from polymer clay
Both methods are very good. The first one I use if I need some unrealistic or very simple eyes.
Eyes from the second method I use in my anatomy learning, I learn how to sculpt heads, faces etc. and use these eyes. They look like real and help to make alive your sculptures, even if it's a test sample :)
