I am hooked on making resin eyes.  I've found 4 ways to do it, each has its uses.  All of them were made with our Brilliant Resin and Silicone Cabochons Mold, and all require layers of resin, so leave yourself at least 4-6 hours between each layer for set-up.

There are many ways to turn these pieces into jewelry or incorporate them into costumes or creatures, here are a couple of ideas:

And here's my mom and daughter goofing around with some of my reject eyes.  You can see 2 different sizes from our Cabochons Mold here.
