Eye molds?

Does anyone know where I can get a mold for eyes? Seeleys might make one, I found it on Audrey's Dolls. But... they don't have a picture and it's sort of expensive. I've made my own mold, but I'd sort of like a ready made one. XD;;;


If you're wondering what I'm using I'm using sculpey eyeballs and casting the clear parts with "Realistic Water" for train sets. I'm stuck right now because the water breaks down the printer ink really badly. :/

 

Yeah... but it keeps running. :/ I've just printed a sheet on two different kinds of paper and am sealing it with as many different things as I can think of.

I have acrylic matte sealer, acrylic gloss sealer, white glue, water effects, MSC, and just a thin layer of the Realistic Water. I was looking for my clear fingernail polish when I got sucked into reading DOA because I'm actually too tired to sew. XD; In a moment I'll go back, get some more hot tea, and pour the Realistic Water on it and see how it does.

 

OMG~ no! XD;;; On the eyes! The EYES!


And I found out what works fairly well... elmers glue. o_o It sealed the red, which was running the most, enough that it blended just a enough that it looks pretty good. I just sealed a new pair of irises and poured some new lenses. Tomorrow I'll glue the sealed irises to a pair of sculpey eyeballs and then plunk them with more Realistic Water into the lenses. If it works this time, I'll try to post a tutorial sometime next week. :3

 

I looked tonight and I couldn't find any. :/ I emailed audrey's about the Seeley's ones.

 

Yeah... i saw those and was a little wary. :/ I talked to Audrey's and they have the Seeley's still available. I"ll probably place an order later this evening. Want a few things from them anyway. X3

 

Plaster works really well for polymer clay actually.. since it's pretty powdery the powder acts as a mold release for the clay. You pop it out before you bake it. :3

I'm not sure how it'll do with Realistic Water... but we'll see.

Here's the eyes so far with the running irises. See how the red(these were originally VIBERANT red prints) ran and not the black? It's so weird. I got alumilite's two part five minute mold, but I've only managed to get ONE mold to set. >:/ I'm not doing anything different than the first mold I made either. >:/

 

thanks doubly Marylin~ :3 I got some fur from someone on the forum and I made long tubes, then rolled them up and sewed them on the wig to make buns! X3 I'll try to take a pic of just the eyes a little later... they look good inside the doll but are much less than impressive outside. XD
