Last night I checked and saw that E was the letter for the week. Then ... just kind of sat there. Stumped already. Great. Why is it a person can just chat away on any subject in the world when there are no guidelines? ... hmmmmmmm strange that......
But then I found myself looking into the beautiful eyes on this cat picture that I just got from Anna. That did it. Of course! EYES! What a wonderful E word ......
I love eyes...... as a matter of fact it is what started me making dolls. The faces ... and in particular, the eyes. In the beginning I was looking at classes offered online; found a cute little Elfin face... and that led to a class where I learned to make Eyes with water colour pencils and Pigma pens. Pages of notes on how to make them look 3 dimensional. Now, I draw them on Everything .....
So far, I have done a few that I really love.... plenty that I don't love quite so much... but I definitely still like them all.
Look .... this poor lady still has no Eyelashes, no Eyebrows.... notice how important they are to the overall appearance.
Experimenting on smaller shapes... here is one on a self covered button... using a catalogue model for inspiration.
She ended up being a mermaid...
Brown eyed button gals .....
I Even gave glass eyes a try .... in a polymer clay face. Mingus
But.... the Emerald Eyes ... on soft cloth ..... yep, still prefer those.

What beautiful eyes Vee! And yes, eyebrows are important ... as anyone without them will no doubt agree.
seeing as my eyebrows are so pale you can see them.... maybe I have a slight fascination with eyebrows? Eyes and eyebrows... definite fascinations for me...
come on over Paula and Vee...I will draw some on for you....lol....
Excellent!
Nice colours!
Beautiful and strange dolls ...
miss Yves
Oh my, you do WONDERFUL eyes!! I really have a "thing" for eyes too. Eyes inspire me, lol. I clip them out of magazines and save pictures online and put them into a folder for when I need inspiration. After all it's the eyes in our creations that speak to people and give our creations a "soul". And wow, I LOVE the eyes you do!!! All your eyes are marvelous, but that last set of green ones really go me ;o) Super-talented you are!!
(Hugs),
