Another thing that I really like to do is painting/melting/creating eyes, because of the lashes (straight stringer application, fun to do) and the way you can add a dot to make it look funny, weird, sad or serious (when I teach classes and show how to make my Indian Elephant beads I always tell why the eye looks like it does and how tiny differences change the complete look of the elephant).
Anyhow, all those things have been in my mind this week when I took my scribble book and started drawing a bit to get new bead designs and I came up with those faces and thought, maybe it's funny, maybe it will look stupid - let's just give it a try. And I have to say I like it way more in glass than I thought I will, actually they are great fun to make and I love the contrast of the crazy and pithy eyes compared to the gentle twisties inside.
Right now the Etsy webside has a few problems, but later on I will upload these two funny guys to my shop, hope you enjoy. (Etsy's working again)
