Did you have a great 4th of July? I knew I did. :)  We went to see fireworks in a rainy and lightning night. It was pretty to see both fireworks and lightning at the same time. How about you?

In the past weekend I spent most of the time doing cleaning, cooking, and cleaning! LOL well.. not quite that bad, I spent some time to design and paint plastic eyes too.  Here are what I have painted. What do you think?

Oh Boy am I crazy recently? I have been experimenting different colors on hand painted eyes! I love pearl eyes, but plain pearl eyes now just isn't enough!

Old story: When I was in high school, at the time I need to choose what to study! It was many years ago. I like drawing, designs, I have been studying that in school for a few years, it's time to choose a main subject for the future, I wanted to follow my heart to get a diploma in design. However, I couldn't do that, my father told me the reality, the real world about designs, he told me nobody could make a living just doing design, not until a person is totally famous and a person totally famous may be happen 1 every 1000 of people. Result I took different course and listened to my father.

New Story: Since I have worked all these years, never touch my drawing since graduated of high school, then all the sudden, selling eyes in etsy, and all the sudden I started to paint these little eyes! Life is like a circle. Once I start to paint again, I can't stop, I ask myself to do a little more each time and I am loving it!

After these story, aren't we bored yet? So I am showing you these pictures of my newly creations! =) Drumroll please!!!

My new serious "FROSTY MARBLE", these I have to do it in 2 different days because of so many layers I have to paint to create frosty and marble effects, they shimmer too, it's really beautiful!

Since I have decided to hand paint my safety eyes with pearl colors, they are really popular. It's not easy to find pearl eyes in the market. Pearl eyes really give lives to these hand-made animals. The pearl shimmering effects on eyes make the animals so real looking! You can find these in my etsy store: 6060.etsy.com. These beautiful cat eyes are 18mm in size. Colors include Pearl Hot Pink, Pearl Copper, Pearl Forest Green, Pearl Periwinkle, and Pearl Purple.

Tonight I put up a new listing for my customers to make cute animals / soft toys! This listing is 9mm in sizes, including 3 kinds of eyes. They are round eyes, cat/fish eyes and also hand-painted round eyes. Later on when I have more time to do more photograph, I will have cat/fish hand-painted safety eyes too. However, if you want to have a special request, please let me know, I will be happy to put your order together for you! :) In this listing, customers can choose either: 10 pairs of commercial eyes - or - 2 pairs of hand-painted eyes + 8 pairs of commercial eyes You can MIX and MATCH round eyes or cat eyes. Please check out my store: 6060.etsy.com I want to put together a listing like this for a long time, however, I have been doing a lot of online marketing and I just don't know where the time goes!! *Don't we all?* Also I have put together a new logo / graphic for my store, what do you think? I like the colors, it's so bright, it looks like scrapbooking design! lol! I don't want to lose my original design, which is 3 cats in a picture, but I want to show some eyes, so I come up with this, hopefully it will draw more attention to my store! I have been selling in Etsy for over a year now. Thank you very much for checking and supporting my etsy and artfire store. I really appreciate your business. ♥♥♥ For my customers, I really thank you for your kind words, your supports, your regards, they all mean so much to me. I can't thank you enough! Love you all!!♥♥♥ xoxo Clara 6060.etsy.com 6060.artfire.com

Today I have a list listing of 9mm animals toys eyes! 9mm is a very popular size if you like to make amigurumi or knitted animals! Mostly 9mm and 12mm eyes are always recommended in amigurumi and animal knitting books! If you are making medium size stuffed animals, about 4 to 5 inches high, or big animals with small eyes. Then you may want to consider to get some of these! :) This custom sampler colors include: Clear, Translucent brown, Pearl Green, Gold, Pearl Silver Blue, Translucent Red, Neon Orange, Neon Yellow, Neon Green, and Dark Blue. Safety eyes are hard to find, so get it while you can! ♥ To get eyes in my etsy shop: 6060.etsy.com To get eyes in my artfire shop: 6060.artfire.com

Are these little critters cute? I think Etsian artists really rock! Etsy is full of talented people indeed. Now these bunch of critters are all handmade by Nina! Isn't she great? These are all original designs by her. She sell these in her etsy store. These animals are so cuddly, I think that's why her etsy store named cuddlet.etsy.com. She is not only selling animals, she has these PDF tutorials about making these lovely soft toys too!! I like her creatures. They are very colorful. You will smile and happy when you are cuddling these animals I am sure! :) More information you can go to her website directly: Cuddlet.com.

Since I sell safety / plastic eyes in Etsy, I have always fond with pearl color eyes. I think the shiny, shimmer looking eyes do give a soul to the amigurumi I make. It looks more real than ordinary solid color eyes. However, I can't find many pearl colors out there in wholesale or retails, normally I can only find pearl green, pearl gold, and pearl blue. Because I hand-painted the eyes, I can offer many more colors in my store. I am so excited. This is my very first time offer this hand-painted pearl eyes sampler. Colors include Pearl Red, Pearl Copper, Pearl Periwinkle, Pearl Purple and Pearl Forest Green. I offter this set with the other commercial pearl eyes together. I hope you and my customers will like it! :)

Recently I didn't post a lot of blogs, I am so lazy (1st reason), and I am so into crocheting amis (2nd reason), I couldn't stop!! LOL Now, I am going to post some pictures of what I have been making! :) This is Miss Idea, she is a lightbulb. I got his pattern from amigurumiparadise.etsy.com. The pattern's name is "4 tiny amis". I just love this little lightbulb lady, she is helping me a lot to come up with new ideas! :) The little beauty I used "Caron Simply Soft BRITES" and a pair of 7.5mm clear eyes from my store! They look lovely, right? Now this coffe cup is from the same pattern, although this coffee cup is more like an expresso or dark chocolate, but deep inside, he loves coffee! :P This coffee cup I have used some stash baby yarns which I don't remember the name already, 2 pieces of pink square felt, a heart button and a pair of 7.5 mm beige eyes. This little white horse is from a pattern named "floppy friends" from kristieskids.etsy.com, I love her animal friends, they are so cute! I have made the frog, and this horse, I think I need to crochet more animal, they look so lonely by themselves! :p This horse I have used Red Heart solid white yarn, stash yarn for the mane, and a pair of 12mm pearl blue eyes. What do you think?

I put together a picture of different sizes of safety eyes to let you see which size is better to fit your amigurumi or knitted toys! Any question please leave a message to me. Thanks! Clara

Here I make another knitted cat with different yarns. This time I used Lion Brand - cotton ease! So far I like the feel of this yarn, but I think I like to crochet it better than knit it! I still like wool yarn the best, very easy to knit! Anyway, I still like how the cat turns out! On this cat, I have used a pair of 9 mm black eyes, and a 6 mm eye as a nose.
