Who on earth is downvoting these videos? I've been watching them for hours. This one was so relaxing with the outdoor sounds, especially the birds. Big thumbs up x
Think I found my next project. I started a composition notebook cover for my son, this color eye will be beautiful when I attach it and build up the lids . Yay. YOU ROCK MISS LADY ❤
You are the Bob Ross of crafting videos. I hope you take that in the highest regard because he is the best 😂 I'm serious though. So peaceful and relaxing while you create. It's inspiring to watch.
Every eye doesn't have to be perfect .....you are doing a great job. Reading about dragons they even had flaws like in their eyes like us humans, so quite fussing silly. You have taught me to believe in what you have and Don't take it for granted, I didn't before but I live in 230 square feet apartment now and I appreciate having my own stuff here. And I am housebound because of the pneumonia still until I see my asthma doctor. Don't worry about giving back, you have to do what is right with you and your money, people should be glad that an artist wants to talk with them, some or most would not even take the time. I think you are doing great with the craft stuff and even your weight.
Hi Von, I I just have to say i've been watching you for about a year or more. That being said I have to tell you, You have gotten Really good about staying within the camera range while you are doing your creations. Congratulations!!!! You did it!!! Thank Von,
Love these dragon eyes. Have you thought of making one for an albino dragon in whites and pearls with a pinkish/reddish pupil? Heavily layered I bet would be gorgeous. I could imagine a Fantasy Princess in her wedding gown with the eye in the center of her bodice or maybe crown with veil. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.
Tools I've tried and liked, Wood Working tools, Leather working tools, Dentist Tools, Clay tools. My favorite is the curved hook dentist tool for reasons unknown. Lol I hit up my local dollar tree often for nail polish.
Hahahaha Yvonne, I think we’re twins when it comes to knocking things over while crafting 😂 oh gosh, the other day I was putting my nicely sorted beads away and one of the boxes fell...... beads EVERYWHERE!!! I just kinda slumped over in defeat waited till the next day to pick everything up and sort them again. 🤦🏻♀️ #ClutzyCrafters
Hi muggle, If you put a knee hi stocking on the hose of your vac, it gets them all. Hold tight to the stocking, ad have a bowl ready to put the vac hose over , before you turn it off. and down come the spider, oops the beads. pattyo aka Patricia Davis and Blessings to you & yours.
I and my grandson use a badge clip when we work fair to hold our passes. This year I did dragon eyes for them and for me and fractal wrapped theirs with a gear and going to epoxy them onto the retractable housing. Will send pics when I finish them
I've bought color shift polish before, but I don't think I've used it yet. I enjoy your crafts, it's always calming. Side note- Walgreens ain't exactly cheap lol. Spent $130 on 6 - 7 polish options, and some weird looks. I seem to stick with blues, greens, purples, and reds. I like doing this project a lot. I've made about 12 so far. OH! I saw people making pendants like this using crayon shavings and baking them. I imagine a heat gun would work as well.
Hey Von, now I don't know if it would work for sure but when gluing up wood (sandwiching to make a bigger piece) if you lay on a few shakes of regular table salt it bites in and keeps everything from sliding. I don't know that it would work to keep your projects from sliding mod podge being different then wood glue and all, but I also don't see a reason it wouldn't work if you wanted to try it out. Probably I'd set down a layer of the mod podge on a piece of plastic or your baking sheet and see out the salt interacts with the mod podge before potentially ruining a project that you've worked hard on. But if it works then that makes it much easier for you to control a project. Your eye is gorgeous, by the way. I like the flaw in it. Gives it character.
I love dragons SO much! Soon I'ma get my own glass thingy, and make my own. And then, I could make it like, maybe I could wear it to show my fantastic side!
I think its interesting how since you made the original Eye of Sauron that several other UA-camrs have made videos using the same technique of scratching around the iris. Hmmmm... Love your work, Yvonne!
I love your Dragon eyes they are just creepy enough to use on spell books I do hope that you don't mind me having a go at some for my self I really do love them thank you for the share of your wonderful idea Hugs from Milton Keynes UK
Your videos are simply incredible. Thank you for spending the time and effort to share your skills and wisdom with the world! You've inspired me to purchase nail polish (I don't use it - lol) and to give this a go! I'm having trouble when I clean them after drying. I'm using basic nail polish remover and it seems to leave a haze on the glass. Will you please make a recommendation to resolve this issue? Thanks so much in advance.
I am watching this as I am making some ear wires, and wanted to stop and tell you just how beautiful your eye is. Will this be on your phone now? Love you and want you to have a great day. PS: I love to hear the trains that go by, makes me feel happy. HUUGS
Thank you for the lovely hobby. The eyes have morphed into what I call a Merryweather Matrixfir the inspiration of creativity and calm. I was going to upload a picture but I can’t figure out how.
Thank you for sharing your talent and insights! I love your dragon eyes! Would you put a backing on the eye if you put a beaded bezel or even a chainmaille bezel on it? Do yo have a tutorial on adding a bezel to your dragon eye? I really admire you and appreciate your tutorials, thanks again! 😃
You could get locktite epoxy it comes in a syringe and it mixes as you pushdown and the bond sets in 10 minutes and in 24 hrs it's at full strength I found it at the dollar general
Question: I know that you usually sell your 50mm around $50. but what would you sell this for if you attached the Pop Socket? I so enjoy watching this for the 4 time... and I learn something new every time I watch this... Thank you so much for sharing your BEAUTIFUL Art.
im doing those small clear glass stones u buy in bags for a dollar. You can do it as small as u want but u need special equipment for a barby eye or something
Very cool. BTW, I wanted to comment on the live streams but it's not letting me. I just wanted to tell you that you look incredible! You actually look even better in the live stream before the one where you get a ring light so no von it's not just good lighting. You are beautiful and if I see you telling people it just lighting and camera angels again I'm going to have to tell you off in my serious mum voice that scares the crap out of my kid. Big loves to you both 💜💜💜
Oh my gosh these are so amazing, I'm considering asking my dad to buy new some of these glass cabachons and buy myself some nail polish from the dollar store 😂 because I'm on a low budget lol
Hello Yvonne. I am new to watching you and I thought of something you might want to try when doing your very small dragon eyes. have you ever thought of using some putty to hold your cabochons so they don't roll away and you can have a better area to hold on to.
Going back to these because I need some eyes for a big project, and I never noticed a very LOL-worthy statement: "Be sure to measure your knob before you purchase your cabochons."
That's absolutely amazing! thought i have a question: is it safe to incorporate one of this type of eyes in a limo clay sculpture ? (mainly in the process of baking the sculpture).
Hey Von thanks for the tip on making the videos faster on UA-cam, love watching you work and my favourite is making glass cabs with nail polish, really interested in the black and white cab you picked up near the beginning, 1.15 to be exact😉how did you make that?
Hello, Yvonne My name is Cintia, I'm from Brazil, could you help me, please? I made a "dragon eye" on a glass gem and painted with glazes, but after baking the piece in the oven the paint on the eye became black would you know why? Thank you in advance. I'm your fan kisses
Loved tutorial but I was wondering how do they make those eyes that kinda follow you like the ones in Teddy bears. The eyes are like reflective looking. Sorry not exactly sure what they're called but saw them on Etsy
Will it hurt the painted dragon eyes to bake in tray with clay I was afraid it might melt nail polish 🤷 I'm just nervous after all the work to just to screw it up, plz help
Greys Anatomy is the title of a medical textbook, I think there was a tv show of the same name, but I cant say I saw it. Sorry Von, I dont suppose y'all needed to know that. I ❤ your dragon eyes.
"Ill do 50 to a hundred in one sitting and you can get a pretty strong headache off that." I get a headache in the 20ish minutes it takes me to paint my nails XD
a ansari after ok I didn't know she'd got any links but someone did say to look Amazon so been on and seen a few shape's and size's, but thank you. XxxxxX

I really love your work. You explains your work very well & you take the time for beginners to learn. Thank you again for sharing.

I learned how to make these dragon eyes from watching your tutorials and I replaced my PopSocket top earlier this year with one I made!
Beautiful work, great tutorial, thank you . Best wishes from România! Huggs!🥰🥰
I would like to see some of the things that you began your work with in clay's, wire wrapping, and dragon eye painting
Thank you for the lovely hobby. The eyes have morphed into what I call a Merryweather Matrixfir the inspiration of creativity and calm. I was going to upload a picture but I can’t figure out how.
OK, I posted a picture on Pinterest under the heading Merryweather Matrix, if you want to see them.

your one amazing artest!
Such a great idea! I've been looking for a popsocket with a design that I like for a while, now I'll just make one!
You could get locktite epoxy it comes in a syringe and it mixes as you pushdown and the bond sets in 10 minutes and in 24 hrs it's at full strength I found it at the dollar general
You're so thorough in listing all your tools. Thank you
Question:
I know that you usually sell your 50mm around $50.
but what would you sell this for if you attached the Pop Socket?
I so enjoy watching this for the 4 time... and I learn something new
every time I watch this... Thank you so much for sharing your BEAUTIFUL Art.
I wonder how small i can go with these. I want to get into doll customizing and these dragon eyes would be awesome
CocoaFabulous maybe start big, then work your way down?
im doing those small clear glass stones u buy in bags for a dollar. You can do it as small as u want but u need special equipment for a barby eye or something

These need to be on your Etsy I would totally buy one
Maravilloso, felicidades. Un saludo desde España
Gracias!
Oh my gosh these are so amazing, I'm considering asking my dad to buy new some of these glass cabachons and buy myself some nail polish from the dollar store 😂 because I'm on a low budget lol
Love your work.
I just found you and love your dragon eyes! I was wondering if I could use my acrylic paints.
Hey, Connie! Thank you for your kindness! Acrylic paints can work great!
I love yout creativity! Tried looking for the pop socket link below, but not there. Remember where you got it? Thanks.
Hello Yvonne. I am new to watching you and I thought of something you might want to try when doing your very small dragon eyes. have you ever thought of using some putty to hold your cabochons so they don't roll away and you can have a better area to hold on to.
Love these eyes you create! Are you letting the polish dry between each layer? And when you use a gel are you curing with a light?
So amazing
Thank you, Tammy!

Also, great video, thanks for sharing the creativity!
oh my, i have that SH black and blue XD love watching your vids.
Love the Dragon's eye. Need to know how much you sell these for. My grandson would love a necklace out of one of these. Thank you.
I've tried looking but may have just missed it, was there ever an LED light tutorial done for these like what was mentioned here?
How do you feel about Gel polish?? Would it cure to a harder more durable finish? Just curious before I jump in.
I was planning on doing this. You beat me to it lol
beautiful
Thank you, Nancy!
super cool!!!
I was thinking that would be beautiful as a necklace, but i wouldnt begin to know how to wrap the glass with wire, can u do a video on that???
Do you always paint your dragon eyes with just nail polish.
What colors did you use for blue eye...it’s so pretty
Cool
If no one else has said it but the "Grays anatomy " is a TV show which is a word play on the " greys anatomy " medical book...for what's it worth.
Can you use acrylic paint for this?
Hello, Yvonne
My name is Cintia, I'm from Brazil, could you help me, please? I made a "dragon eye" on a glass gem and painted with glazes, but after baking the piece in the oven the paint on the eye became black
would you know why?

Haha I love them is there anyway I could buy one? haha

Hey, LeAnn! I have had good results with letting the eye dry before sculpting clay around it and baking it :)
@@backtoearthcreations thanks sweety ✌️
Just found your UA-cam. I can not find the link of the supplies you used.
Expedite not ex pediate😉 Beautiful work
Greys Anatomy is the title of a medical textbook, I think there was a tv show of the same name, but I cant say I saw it. Sorry Von, I dont suppose y'all needed to know that. I ❤ your dragon eyes.

*Spinpop
Not Pop Socket I don't usually care that much but I did break my case trying to remove a Spin Pop but an actual Pop Socket was never an issue
Did you ever do a video on illuminating the eyes? I cant find it anywhere.
I just happened to stop fast forwarding in time to hear "I won't be offended if you mute me or fast forward." Haha!
Heyyy Yvonne, did you make those domes or did you buy them, cos I would little try having a go at those dragon eye's they look awesome. XxxxxX
I have seen them on amazon. 40 mm glass cabachons.
T Green ok cool, thank you I will go and look. XxxxxX
Sarah, I do believe some of her tutorials have the link for the cabachons from amazon😊
a ansari after ok I didn't know she'd got any links but someone did say to look Amazon so been on and seen a few shape's and size's, but thank you. XxxxxX
Can I use acrylic paint for certain bits as well?
Can acrylic paint and alcohol ink be used instead of nail polish?
We’re do you get the plain phone knobs?
Where do I get one of the eye things you used?
Is that nail polish?
