Hi Ben I got some wood putty stick I looked at eyes man they certainly r expensive. I think I might see if I can make some with paint and 5 minute epoxy or see if I happen to have the right size beads for my little birdies. Talk about tiny. Not quite 2 inches.

Anna at the site search the number 110 These are their commercial grade eyes. They are
$3.99 a set. I think those are the cheapest. I used to use them when I had a carving store for the silly stuff. They sell a clear cabochon in all the mm sizes. They are 0,95 each and look good when you paint the back what ever color/colors you want.

@@StudioOnTheLake Thanks for the info I was looking at those but then I didn't know if they were still making those pins I think I put in order in I get my arm off I like to talk to

[@paulj4228]

Could you send me the telephone number for Optimum one I'll an order in tomorrow then he can talk my arm off

@@paulj4228 1-320-594-2811 The gentleman's name is Pat. Yes he will tell you more than you ever wanted to know. However I think his pens are constructed the best of all the commercial pens. Check out the web site and choose a few pens I would suggest a Skew and a Micro Skew and then some sort of shader. Or you can just tell Pat what you plan on using them for. If birds get the 2 skews.

@@StudioOnTheLake just got done talking to Pat and on the pens he didn't know which pins you were using for the micro cube and the shading pin he said he's got so many of them he doesn't know which one to give me so I got a 13 and a 17 to do deep cuts should have it by the end of next week thanks for all your help Paul
