Chibitude Update! Glass Cabochon Eye Tutorial #1

[@wabbit1313]

Madeline, awesome tutorial! You could make a fortune teaching. Love all the tips!!!

[@LosingDrea]

Thanks Madds, finally after all these years I had asked you a couple of times how you made them and I understood your reason why you didn't want to show anyone but now you have and I am blown away! Awesome tutorial and so much easier than I was thinking it would be to make them. They are also a whole lot smaller than I originally thought they might be. Love them and love you!!! Whoo hoo...thanks again my friend :)

[@chibimaddy]

I'm kind of giggling that I surprised you :) I've got lots of different ways to make eyes, but have been wanting to come up with a way that you could make them without having a printer. I was selling them on my site, which was why I didn't share the technique, but now I'm opening up all my techniques and going to video log them for everyone to view :) Thanks Sweetie, loving you back!!! xoxoxo

These are fabulous, many thanks for sharing x

[@niftynilda8484]

I made them today! Thank you, they are amazing. I polymer but I hate making polymer eyes.

[@chibimaddy]

That's wonderful!!

[@lololendoable]

thank you so much... I always make my own eyes for my fishing lures...but this is a whole different level I would love to add🍎 thank you teacher

[@chibimaddy]

I'd love to see how you do your eyes. I've always thought making fishing lures is a fascinating hobby. I don't know if these would translate to getting wet, but I'm sure you're smart enough to use your special knowledge to come up with something awesome!

[@luemoonba]

Great ideas. Thank you so much.

[@chibimaddy]

Vwry welcome!

[@shariedodson6196]

[@crazylittlecritters]

where do you buy the small clear glass cabochon 5mm

[@chibimaddy]

Sorry Sweetie....I have yet to be able to find any cabochons that are crystal clear in a size smaller than 6mm. If you find some please come back here to I can add it to the links for others to get some too! :) There's a link in the description for 6mm and up.

[@elainemcbride6517]

Is your first circle actually the pupil? The black center of the eye?. You are calling it the iris ( colored part).

[@elainemcbride6517]

Sorry, didn't realize they were going to be so tiny. Just the right size for my little dolls. Thank you.

[@chibimaddy]

@@elainemcbride6517 you're welcome. sorry if i said the wrong words (not a big surprise) lol. None of this was scripted. I'm glad they work for you!

[@behjatjavaher3807]

What is the size of glass

[@chibimaddy]

What ever size you need for your doll, technique is the same. I can't remember if these were 6mm or 10mm, could be 4mm. I think they were 6mm.

[@highprairiepals6527]

Hello, Madeline! Can these be baked in a polymer clay sculpture? I am just beginning to make tiny pet sculptures, but the eyes would need to be set into the clay, and then baked. *LOVED* your tutorial !!!! :-)

[@chibimaddy]

Yes, they sure can. I use these for most of my sculptures. I hope you enjoy making and using them!! ❤

[@unfettered001]

So smart! Thanks so much for sharing! I do have a question...the cabs you're using in this video, are they the 10mm ones? They're the perfect size for my applications, as well. :)

[@chibimaddy]

Lydia Zimmerman You are welcome! :) Thank YOU! These are 6mm cabs that I'm using here. 6MM geez....I kept getting it wrong. 6MM...LOL Sorry if I confused anything.

[@unfettered001]

Nope, I understood perfectly. :) Thank you again, very much. I just love this clever way of doing this. No muss, no fuss! You are too kind for sharing. :)
