In this video, I will show you my two favorite methods for making eye classes. These methods will make matching a particular style of glasses go from difficult to easy. Commercially made classes are limited in style and size so if you want to get the exact right ones you will usually have to make them yourself. Of the many pairs I have made this turned out to be the best way to get not only the right style and size but also fit so that the frames stay on the doll without having to glue them onto the doll. I shortened this video to about 30 minutes(It actually took an hour) as it is hard to teach the fiddly finesse part required to get just the right size. It is an inexpensive method, even if you make mistakes because you can just cut a new piece that is unless the price of jewelry wire goes up. I hope you enjoy the video. I do my best with editing and I left out the music as I know some people find it distracting.
What you will need:
Jewelry wire in the gauge needed for your project
UV GEL
UV curing lamp
Smooth porcelain tile
Cling wrap
Small round tool(can be a pencil or dowel or concave/convex pliers the size you need for your scale.)
Glass Cabachon as an alternative lens in the size of your desired glasses

Thanks, Jodi. Both methods are useful depending on the look you are going for and you can keep adding layers of resin to thicken up the lens.

NOTE: I forgot to mention that you can create any size and shape glasses or even sunglasses, just lay the cling wrap over a drawing of the glasses you want to make and make your layers of UV gel inside the lines, curing between layers, then repeat until you get close to the thickness you want, and then lay your wire along the top or bottom (depending on the look you want) and add one or two more layers which will lock the wire to the lens. I have even made sunglasses with one layer of tinted UV gel nail polish to color the lens, they come in a bunch of colors and cure just like the clear.

No, although I do know Jack, he is a great teacher, I just never had the money to take a class with him. If you like Jack's style of doll making check out Karen Baker. She is a wonderful artist and a great teacher. She was Jack's assistant in teaching for years and has kind of a similar style. I think she even made costumes for his dolls for a while. Look on CuriousMondo.com They have a few of her courses available, but maybe wait for a sale. LOL

@@ooakartwithlindaE Thankyou yes I'm in touch with Karen Baker, she is amazing but so are you I think its nice to have a couple of different people to learn from, I was just curious if you were taught by him too, because yr very talented I love all yr work, Karen's going to be good for costuming, the one part of the whole package I find a challenging, I did find something on Jack showing some costuming & how he went about that & now I can't find it again, but what I did find out was useful. Thabkyou again for helping me with information, it's very kind of you 😊
