The pupil is not an object at the front of the eye, but clear hole to the back of the eye. The back can not be in front of the Iris. You need to make a clear cylinder with black background. When cured, you can pour the Iris around it. Youll be amazed how real it looks. Also any small pieces of thin red thread will work great for the blood. Your Iris' look awesome and the shape is right becuase artificial eyes are half ovals

Pun intended, you have a real eye for finding the happy accidents. Perhaps leave a little room at the back. Fill in with white resin or paint with white UV nail polish to prevent color from drifting under the pupil. Always enjoy watching!

Congrats on your wedding!! I work with polymerclay and was thinking exactly how I'd use these eyes. Thank you. Hugs from 🇨🇦

@ourgeorgiasuburbanhomestea6309 Ай бұрын

funny i found this video. i've been playing with making eyes on my own, no tutorials.. and started making pupils with the smaller circles, and now painting the pupils on after curing a small amount of clear resin in the molds. I've tried using gel nail polish and acrylic paint.. works well and you dont have to wait for the pupil resin to cure, nor do you have to deal with cutting shapes. Then I dust the top with chameleon powder once the next layer of resin with the ink has cured, add a top layer of resin.

@darthstigater6642 Ай бұрын

What I think would look good is: make a thin clear cabochon and cure it enough so that you can put the black "pupil" piece on the back of it without having it fall to the bottom and then cure it so that the pupil piece is in the back of the clear cabochon. Then put that in a larger mold and make your eye with the color in it. When you look at an eye the pupil sits inside the eye, not on the front of it 8)

Hi Daniel, I am pretty new to the resin scene but from the videos i have watched i didn't know this medium was so versatile, I thought resin was only used to preserve things or like a cheaper version of art glass paper weights. I have only watched two of your items on You tube and i have to say its nice to hear my mother language. I was born in the UK, Portsmouth to be exact. I have lived in Canada now for 32 years which is longer than i lived in the UK now. I emigrated just after i got married with my husband of 32 years. Congratulations on your marriage by the way i heard it mentioned in the beginning of this tutorial. I hope you have a long and happy marriage together. love the cabochons you made with the silicone oil those were some really cool reactions with the disbursement colour with the spore effect. those were super cool. the ones in this video too are also pretty cool as o love dragon eyes. there is a lady in the USA that paints dragon eyes on glass cabochons with nail polish colours they are super cool too. Thanks for teaching new technics its nice to see some more new things in the future. Have a good one.

What if you filled it a little less and allowed it to set up. Then you fill the opening and color it with the white. It would be like a real eye where you can see through the top layer.

@daniel..cooper 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks 🥰. No, water really doesn't mix well with resin. This is just how their inks come. If you are using Piñata white or another thick brand, you can thin it down 50/50 with 99.9% Isopropanol, test a small amount 1st and see how it goes 😊.

@dawnie1774 3 жыл бұрын

If you take isopropyl alcohol like 91% alcohol take a drop at a time added to the white alcohol ink and it will help to thin it down hopefully that helps you out I've done it before and it works to thin mine out so good luck
