The trick with red threads is actually used by craftsmen who create eye 👁️ prostheses. I just thought about it and you did it on video.👏 Bravo, the best eye hack for dolls and toys.❤

[@karstenhoop]

Nice short and simple! Feel inspired to create all kinds of molds.

[@harikaakbaba7061]

So realistic! 👀 Amazing Video 🤩

[@JadeValour]

As usual, I totally LOVE this, Sofia! And thank you for the freebie - might try using this in my jewellery courses!

[@oxacademy]

Love the simplicity!

[@instrumentalisto8193]

I just start to sculpt few days ago. And then remembered your channel. Im quite addicted, watching it all. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR ART IDEAS!!!

[@amossymindset]

This was so incredible! I can't wait to try this. I've never used resin before but am now wanting to try!

[@1x1.studio]

I recently found your channel and am completely in love with your content. Your videos are so calming and I enjoy that you focus a lot on building and making things look pretty. Your building skills are amazing and I can’t wait to see more

[@PlayerTenji95]

Wow, I used to do something similar to this! I used mold specifically for eyes though, so I ended up skipping the sandpaper part. No paper lenses either. I just baked the polymer bases, baked, made the colored iris with polymer clay and mica powder, baked again, and then sealed with resin. Eventually I moved on to making a uv resin base, polymer clay and mica iris, and then a uv resin seal. I wish I had this ages ago, however!

[@michaelabenon7207]

That's great Idea 😃 thanks for sharing and give a free downloadable prints.

[@SofiaBue]

You're very welcome 😊

[@ghostlypreciousartandcraft]

Your tips are always precious!!!❤️

[@SofiaBue]

Thank you 🤗

[@ICanCreateThat]

You can also use red wool yarn or red wool felt and you brush the fibers out with a wire brush. I think I saw someone who makes actual fake eyes that people wear and they affix it with tweezers after it has been cast. I forget what adhesive they use that's skin safe, but I suppose if you're not using it as a fake eye prosthetic, then you could drag it through clear UV resin and hit it with a UV light.

How do you keep the resin from discoloring the paper of the printouts?

[@Charlistic_Saint]

Just found your channel and watched a bunch of your videos, they are all great! In the making clay video it looked like you're danish? If you are have you tried out Søstrene Grene's airdrying clay? :)

[@TammyBundleballs]

Ooooo rad.

[@frogsong63]

There is no longer access to the printable irises.
