Eye Props

On the last step I have put up pictures of the eyes. Please comment if you have any tips and vote if you like it =)

Last year I did my first instructable. This year I will start up with a new Eye. Fast to make and its all in your imagination what you do with it.

A lots in this instructable is visual so not much text to read. Ask and I will answer if you wonder.

This you need:

Watercolor
Water
Brusches, at least one hard
Sharp knife
Old DVD/CD
Plastic Wrap
Permanent Marker, sharp tip
Cotton Wool ball
Toilet paper or something like it
Tothpics

Step 1: Latex the ball

I coat the ball with one layer of latex. When dried I make another layer that I coat with some paper, the more work you put in, the more imagination you have the happier you will be.

Thanks =) And someone noted that he used Glue, cgrone below, and that got me thinking so I actually dipped them in latex when dried and they get a crazy eye-glossy feeling. I thought that the watercolour would be more sensitive than it was. =)

Suizesem did u bake the Sculpey Clay 1st?

I didnt have any clay, I had some paper balls that I have no clue on what the name is in English. So mine are really light and a bit soft as well.

Very nice instructable. I made a few for the fun of it to see how they would turn out.
They turned out great. I tried it with some Sculpey clay as well and this is what came up with. Fast and realistic. I added some Liquid latex to mine and tore it a little to give it the effect of a torn pupil. I found that Clear Elmers Glue gives you a nice sheen and glossy effect as well as seals the eyes.

Thanks for the glue thing I have tried to find a way to make it glossy without destroying =) Latex is the thing to build it up a bit all around. The more work you put in with latex and paper the better it will be. I have two eyes I did work alots more with and when holding it its a bit soft and you get a really bad feeling in your spine. I just love what you can do and the only limit is your self.

Thank you =) I have soon ten or eleven more that I will show. None are the other alike and I have used the paper to build up a more fleshy structure on some. Last year I did my own version of other Ideas but this one is a 10-30 minute job depending on how much time/effort you want to put in.
