I'm so crazy about the doll eyed accessories ever since I saw them for the first time last year and I was thinking about ordering some from eBay to make hairbows too. Some eyebalss, I mean. But they're so expensive...I'm too lazy to make the eyeballs myself and since I don't think I'd make more, than a pair or two, it's not wort for me to buy all the crafting too. But thanks for the idea, I've never though of checking a doll maker, if there's still anything like that in the 21th century...o.O<br /><br />Anyway...your eyeballs look awesome, even the first couple of them with the yellowish tint and the bubbles. The second batch is already close, if not straigh out Kreepsville quality, although I guess they used stickers for the iris, which will always give a smoother look to the final product.<br />Besides, the last pictures are supercute and stylish with that crossbones shirt! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486103715531710138.post-65450394996520885372013-09-29T02:09:54.118-07:002013-09-29T02:09:54.118-07:00Ok, so the cure time is quick, but what I meant to...Ok, so the cure time is quick, but what I meant to say was that in the attempts to layer it, it didn't seem to want to stick the smooth surface it created after curing. It's more of a goop like glue stick in it's semi-liquid state, so that would add to the difficulty of trying to spread it on-- but I completely appreciate any advise you have to offer!Madame Mari Mortemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092879436628518422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486103715531710138.post-1182110708095492342013-09-29T02:05:01.827-07:002013-09-29T02:05:01.827-07:00I'm super flattered that you think so-- it was...I'm super flattered that you think so-- it was all thanks to stumbling onto your tutorial. The quality of your tutorial is unmatched. =)<br /><br />I tried layering the e-z water, though it advises not to for optimal effect, but it's such a quick cure time that most times it doesn't adhere to the bottom layer. I think I am getting the hang of reducing the amount of bubbling by the depth.<br /><br />I can describe e-z water as more of a glue stick type material, but in pellet form. E-z water is the cheapest of the cheap for model water out there, heh. It dries solid like resin though, unlike glue sticks.<br />I much rather like the idea of liquid polymer... seems more ideal.<br />Thank you for the encouragement!Madame Mari Mortemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092879436628518422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486103715531710138.post-20832149983159292432013-09-29T01:53:48.300-07:002013-09-29T01:53:48.300-07:00Practice practice, right?

The trick with E-Z water as I see it, is to make the iris dimple half the depth of what I was doing during the time of these photos. They're coming out better and better!<br />Now the issue with the modge podge causing too much of a ripple texture over the eyes... still can't seem to get it right, but it's probably because it's not meant as a glaze, hehe. <br />I certainly have to keep modge podge in mind when we start building the ship model though! It's such a neat ripple effect for actual "water".Madame Mari Mortemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092879436628518422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486103715531710138.post-72690836820594416472013-09-29T01:48:24.844-07:002013-09-29T01:48:24.844-07:00Thanks =)Thanks =)Madame Mari Mortemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092879436628518422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486103715531710138.post-40548601506188519202013-09-28T08:48:03.051-07:002013-09-28T08:48:03.051-07:00Fantastic!!!!
You are spectacular!!!!!
:D
P.S.: If...Fantastic!!!!<br />You are spectacular!!!!!<br />:D<br />P.S.: If you coat the iris part of the eye with a little bit of the EZ water on a tiny paint brush (or Q-tip) before you pour the rest in to fill, You'll get less bubbles I think. Don't know how much work time you'll have though.<br />Keep up it up!!!<br />Love this HEAPS!!<br />and you're adorable.<br />:DKellie Mowathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436716089868644575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486103715531710138.post-35375846530323869762013-09-28T07:16:51.335-07:002013-09-28T07:16:51.335-07:00I just know when you get that whole eyeball/E-Z Wa...I just know when you get that whole eyeball/E-Z Water/polymer thing nailed down, your knock-offs are gonna surpass the quality of the competition tenthousandfold (is that a word?).
