want to make little eyes for modeling clay frogs

[lillianw]

Hi everyone,

I want to make little glass eyes for frogs, iguanas, fish, etc. out of glass. It's a simple thing in theory--drop of two of one color glass, stringer size drop of another glass on top.

How can I do this? Wondered if I could make them on a marver, or on a little fusing tray, make a bunch, then put them in the kiln while it ramped up and then let it ramp down (for a 104 coe). Could this work? Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

PS--they would be little -- 5-9 mm in diameter.

Make a cane! Way more realistic and then you have a bunch that's easier to match up. There's a thread someplace around here on dolls eyes on wire and Pipyr has an excellent tutorial for eye cane.
