@@aceofclay Have added this to my playlists. I can adapt this. I want to give my car eyes. Thoughts: Aprons are your friends. I think I have an undiagnosed case of ADHD? AN apron *with pockets* is AWESOME. It prevents me from setting stuff down randomly in projects and losing it, as well as ruining my clothes. My envisioned eyeballs will have slit pupils, include thin reflective material wedges, and probably have a phosphorescent medium included. ...I paint, I think I can pull that off. Thanks!
Use a uv flash light to dry resin quickly. To get bubbles out prior to baking, as soon as you apply your resin, take a long butane lighter, flash it quickly over each layer of resin to remove air bubbles then dry❣️🇨🇦
can you just use a regular black light for like posters or does it need to be more powerful and brighter? Has me thinkin about the dentist when they use that UV tool to cure that stuff.
That looks super awesome!! Good job!! I'm sure some people have probably mentioned it, but if you want to add the very teeny tiny red veins take red yarn and brush it out with one of those wire pet combs and lay them on the resin or whatever while its still wet, branching out from the sides of the eye towards the iris. It works really well and is super easy!
I have watched several Videos on how to do this. Yours is by far the easiest I have found. The eye looks great and I can’t wait to try it. Thanks again for your time
Cool! I'm happy to know how to make an eyeball now! By the way, a silicone mat, like a silicone potholder or hotpad is handy to resin on, too. Any excess resin will flow onto the silicone mat, but the resin won't stick to the silicone after it's cured. Let the resin cure for at least twelve hours, and if the eyeball has any overflow tags on it, those are easy to trim with scissors or a craft knife within the first 24 to 36 hours.
Disappointed!?!?!? I thought it was fantastic! Especially the tip about the resin underneath the cabachon! I have always had the situation of not seeing the iris from the side view, and you have just solved my problem! Thank you so much for such a great tutorial!
I know it is weird to save videos but I have hoarded a few of yours so I can watch later! Thanks for continuing to have these for viewing! I do hope you have a good evening!
Great tutorial. Keep coming back to this as it covers everything. No need to go searching for other videos. Your channel really deserves more views. I will note that not all cabochons are of equal quality. I went to the dollar store and bought some. Very inconsistent shapes and thick. When I put it on top of a printed iris I can barely see anything because it is so thick. Will have to try an art store.
Thanks for sharing, I’m so glad to hear that! As for the cabochons yea, you do have to find some decent quality ones, it’s kind of a “you get what you pay for” situation. I’ve purchased mine from amazon or Etsy with no issues.
New sub...tip for getting bubbles out of the resin is to let it sit for a few minutes after mixing. Tap cup on table a bit. For removing them from a poured piece, heat gun or small torch. Just run it over it lightly without staying in one place to long or it will burn. To get resin to stick to clay better, just paint on a thin layer first. Especially if it’s a porous clay.
This is amazing! I did not know that baking resin was safe! I’m sure the fumes aren’t but it’s good to know! I’ve never wanted to try baking anything but glass in my sculptures I spent hours or days on, so this could be a game changer, thank you!
Thanks so much for this tutorial. Been struggling with eyes. I've been wondering if I can put them in the oven afterwards too. This video solves all my problems. You are an amazing artist. ❤
Great video! I think it is probably quicker and more of an even measurement to pour the hardener straight on top of the resin in the first cup, as long as you can accurately control the measure and don't add too much! If done properly it can not only save time when scraping out the leftover hardener from the cup (you just go straight to the mixing stage), but you also get an almost perfect 50/50 blend of resin/hardener without leaving any residue behind, also extra product working time and it saves the need of using an extra cup.
When making small quantities of 2 part resin, I use syringes with rubber pushes and make sure it has an air bubble in it as this makes sure all the components are extruded from the syringe. I also flood coat pieces like this. I'm a little obsessed with resin flood coating.
UA-cam thought I'd enjoy this channel. UA-cam was correct. :) I've been binge watching the videos on this channel and I love it. I've been inspired greatly. That said.... I may be way of base here, but I was thinking that a person could skip the mould making step and just apply cornstarch to the inside of the tsp and press clay into that rather than make a mould. I could be wrong though. Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Thanks for the videos Ace
Groovy Ace! Ive been saving bottle caps to mount eyeballs on for a few years just for Halloween decorations as we have many columns in and out of our home. As a newbie to clay, and a follower of you, I can't wait to get started! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and kindness. ~Bethany McKittrick
I also get red acrylic yarn and use the thin strands on a layer of resin using a toothpick to position the “veins”. Then I do another layer of resin one the first layer dries.
Your video popped up in my recommended and i cant believe this is the first im seeing of you! Your art work is amazing and i immediately subscribe. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with those who are still learning to work with clay :)
Great tutorial!! To same time and money, I use Sally Hansen's "Hard as Nails" instead of epoxy. It dries shiny and very hard and is the perfect look! I LOVE this idea of making a mold (instead of rolling them by hand) and using Cabochons. This is going to make my eyeballs look SO much better! Thanks!!!
I've heard (and not sure if true and/or applicable to all nail varnish brands) nail products shouldn't be used on polymer clay as it can cause a chemical reaction resulting in tacky, sticky clay over time. Just something to bear in mind, esp when intending to sell your creations.
@@lespantalonsfancie2434 It's true! It happened to me and my customer asked me why my miniatures I sold her we're sticky. Oops! Do not use fingernail polish on clay. It will harden and then later soften.
Hey you, Claire here x I'm a Needlefelt Artist and make my own eyes, but haven't tried resin. Wanted to say thanks for your tutorial ..... "Thanks" 😁 x
It came out great. You did a fantastic job explaining and I really like that you told people to not steal others art off the internet. Thank you! (subscribed)
Fantastic tutorial Thanks, you should add very small strings of red yarn to the polymer this would give the small blood vessels on the sclera, I saw how they manufacture artificial eyes and this is what they do to make them look real.
Your tuitorial so good sir. I learnt so much really Thank you so much really 🙂🙏🏻🌸🙌🏻 So many questions I previously had became cleared through your video So thank you very much 🙂🙏🏻
Just my understanding but resin cannot be baked. It gets cloudy, yellowish and even bubbles, depending on how long the item is baked. That at least has been my experience. So I think you would have to apply the resin after all baking has been done. Baked polymer clay can be baked again, however, if adding more clay to the baked clay, no problem at all. Just not with resin.
You can also use uv clear gel polish, or even uv nail glue. Less toxic, less intimidating, and cheaper to get ahold of, as well as convenient in storage.
Love the eyes they look awesome Also if you see any bubbles on your eye just run a flame using a lighter ( the long ones like for lighting a BBQ ) over it just going back and forth for a second or two and that gets rid of the bubbles. Edit .. I just saw someone else said the same thing.....lol sorry
if you use a metal teaspoon you can cook the polymer clay right on it, let it cool and gently remove the mold from the tsp. less chances of distortions and a nice smooth bake. :)
Liked your video. Got the concept. I am making eyes for a robot. Going to use my 3D printer to make the Sclera since I need to make attachment points for the stepper motors in the back of the eyes. I'm going to use your recommendations to make the Cornea and Iris.
Two tips: 1). Remove air bubbles in the resin using a heat gun while still wet. 2). During the matte painting phase, use oxblood silk thread that you've combed through to fray it, then apply it and fan it out along the edges to create hyper realistic very fine blood vessels (this is the Madam Tussaud method).
Good idea, thank you. I made some but didn't make the clay mold, instead just used the inside of the tsp as the mold itself 🤷♀️. I didn't have resin but I did have clear nail polish, so instead I used that, I also didn't have the center clear piece, so instead I made some drops using my hot glue gun (my glue sticks are clear), so it was perfect... and it actually come out really good. Very impressed... I don't know how long it will last before it turns yellowish... but thats ok I needed them for some halloween props, so the creepier and older they get the better. Again thank you.
Curious if you can then use this in a sculpt? Wouldn’t baking resin be a bad thing to do? Curious I love the tutorial and i definitely want to try this
Fab tutorial @aceofclay! Thank you. I was wondering, Polymer clay is inaccessible and quite expensive where I am right now. Have you ever tried making these with regular air dry clay? Would it work?
If you want a faster, cleaner and less toxic way of making your eyes then use clear UV nail gel and a UV gel lamp. I've made 100s of doll eyes using this method and tested baking them in the oven too at different temperatures. This way your eyes will be ready to use in 5 minutes with no mess or smell.
Very cool. Always nice to learn new ways to make eyes. I would put the clay and teaspoon into the freezer for a while to firm up before removing it though. :) I am going to try to make some iris parts with clay to go under the glass half domes I have. Mine will be pretty small - way smaller than yours - at least this time around. :D Edit: I used to measure my resin in different cups and then mix but now I just measure in one cup and then start mixing. It's much easier. :D I can even do large amounts. I bought a really wide and tall cup from the paint section of walmart. It works great, has a bunch of measurements and the resin doesn't stick to it. - Heidi
BlackCat2 very cool! Always neat to see how other people do things. The corn starch should help you avoid the freezing step if you use enough of it. And I have made eyes with this method with 6mm cabochons and it worked the same way. If you adjust the size of the cabochons to match the hole punch and prints you can make them as big or small as you’d like. And I’m gonna have to check out that cup!
Thanks. I have done the corn starch but I don't really like it. If I need it not to stick - like when I use a mold made of baked clay to shape clay - then I use water. I hope you do check out the cup. It's pretty awesome. :D I don't think this is the exact one but it looked something like this - www.walmart.com/ip/ABN-1000-32-Ounce-Paint-Mix-Cups-Calibrated-Mixing-Ratios-on-Side-of-Cup/148808038 - and the one I bought at my local store was only a couple of dollars.
Wow. That is so cool. I just had to subscribe. I want to make some eyeballs too. Great work. You are definately a pro. TFS. Hello from ontario,canada. ❤️
This is amazing, thank you! I have a couple of questions: 1. So you baked the eye with the paper iris and the cabochon on then 2. You baked the eye again after coating it with the resin? TIA!
how to get wet resin out of clothes: step 1 take resin clothing off. Step 2: take 1 tablespoon of dish soap and work it in for 5 minutes. Step 3: Wash it off with warm water. Step 4: Place the clothing in the wash. Step 5: Dry and enjoy
“.. when the timer is up, its done. Just eye-ball it...” that was a good one 😂😂 Like your tutorials 👍 PS can you show how to make the tiny veins in the eyes?! 👁👁
What a great tutorial, that is a great looking eyeball. I think it would look cool to lay some strands of red yarn on them while you apply the epoxy to give it a vein effect. I'm sure you've already done it that way it sounds like you've made a ton of these.
I have plenty of experience with epoxies enough to know that you will have a lot better and more successful results pouring the resin into the hardener cup and not the other way around, I was taught this a couple of different places and have had a little trouble doing it the other way...just a suggestion.
You are awesome, I bet it would look really cool if when you added the resin you put little strands of red yarn fibers in the resin to make it look like veins.
love the tutorial thanks, quick question. any pointers on baking the mold? any way to make a clean mold? i want to adapt your style for a 3d printed life size torso and i will be using smooth on products, any tips will be greatly appreciated.
I’m going to try this soon! One question though. Once the 24 hours curing process is over, is it done? Or are you saying that it then has to be baked again?
Hi - Love this video - I want to make several small eyeballs - like half the size you have there....looking for materials..I'm a resin artist and have an idea for an awesome project. Thanks for this - I'm going to start this project now scaled down in half. Gotta find some 1/4" caboshons on Amazon....

Another tip is to add viens by using red yarn. Separate the fibers and gently paint them on the eyeball with resin, then coat as described.
Took your advice! Works perfectly and adds a lot of realism!

Marie Smith awesome! Thanks so much and thanks for sharing!
I’ve seen people tear frays away from red yarn and use it for the veins of the eye. It comes out super convincing.
Resin can yellow over time so it's good to put in a dab of purple into the resin mix to prevent yellowing.
How much is a dab? What purple product, dye?
@@erinurbanus1858 a tiny blob of a purple acrylic paint will do, mix it in and it'll tint a little but it'll dry clear.

You can use red yarn fluff and just lay a tiny tiny bit of it on the sclera.

Thank you! This looks great, I'm gonna try it!
I have plenty of experience with epoxies enough to know that you will have a lot better and more successful results pouring the resin into the hardener cup and not the other way around, I was taught this a couple of different places and have had a little trouble doing it the other way...just a suggestion.
Do you bake the white clay with the paper iris and the cabochon at the beginning?
Great idea to make eyes for yard Halloween people props.
You are awesome, I bet it would look really cool if when you added the resin you put little strands of red yarn fibers in the resin to make it look like veins.
Awesome tutorial! Keep it up!
Daniela C thank you! Glad you liked it!
A little tip. Before you put the resin on you should attach strands of a burgundy yarn to the eye with the matte clear acrylic for veins
That's not EASY at all tho.
did i say it was easy?

If you do happen to get resin on clothing soak the affected area with rubbing alcohol. It's worked for me with both epoxy and UV resin.
Thank you so much, great job :) [from France]
Love it thanks! Easy to follow!
Hello ! Can we do that with air fimo ? (It’s a polymer clay air dryring without baking !) Thanks you ! :)
I’m going to try this soon! One question though. Once the 24 hours curing process is over, is it done? Or are you saying that it then has to be baked again?
Hi - Love this video - I want to make several small eyeballs - like half the size you have there....looking for materials..I'm a resin artist and have an idea for an awesome project. Thanks for this - I'm going to start this project now scaled down in half. Gotta find some 1/4" caboshons on Amazon....

Hi do u bake it with out the plastic dome or with
I’m assuming you’re talking about when you bake the mould, if so, nope you take the spoon out before baking.
If you mean the cabuchon eye lens, you can bake it. It's glass and the oven temps are low.
Very awesome tutorial! Your eyeballs are always spectacular to see on your pieces, its so much hard work to make! Good luck with youtube :)
Thanks, Lianne!!
