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!

This week I hand painted some Kawaii Eyes for me and you! =) I love amigurumi, of course I have to save some for myself! Have you watched all these Japanese Kawaii cartoons? I know I have! I am always amazed of how those cartoon producers can draw these little cute critters, especially the eyes, just a few dots more in the pupils and it show the critter emotions by no time! I love those critters, and mostly cartoons! LOL I am inspired by those cartoons and created these adorable cute eyes. These are 12mm eyes, I have used pearl green, pearl white and pearl pink colors on these eyes! I hope you like it! Check out my etsy store: 6060.etsy.com

Newly Hand-Painted 12mm Zombie eyes are available in my etsy store! These eyes are bigger, good for medium size monster, zombie or ghost-liked amigurumi! Nah... Actually it's good for any project you want! I first of thinking to paint these bigger sizes monster eyes when I tried to make the amigurumi panda! After I tried different colors into the panda, I finally decided to use a pair of hand-painted 9mm instead of 12mm. I think smaller eyes are just better for a panda with a big dark circle around the eyes! It's natural! However, I will crochet more amis in the future by using my hand-painted eyes so that you will see how they look like! I personally think using hand-painted eyes will bring the amis more alive because of the shimmer effects. Have you looked right at the cat eyes? They are shimmering, like pearl, very lovely! Although crochet/ knit animals are for fun, but you do want to put some "soul" and heart into it, that's why eyes are important! If you want to see more amis that I have crochet these last 2 years, please check out my flickr!

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.

This morning I really got into mood in painting something! Good thing is I don't have my kids around me, they are all sleeping! Yeah! This early morning was gray, cold, and very unhappy kind of feelings! However, because I was in mood, I decided to paint my eyes a little special. I have these transparent red eyes and I knew that they are kind of scary looking, so I am thinking to paint them into lovely looking instead. After all, they are not very scary, but definitely beautiful! I love the pearl effect in this eyes. Am I like a crow only like shiny and shimmering things? :P Anyway, here they are. You can find them @ 6060.etsy.com ! *** they can be used in any soft toys project like monsters, zombie rabbit, zombie bear, teddy bears, or even reptile! :D ***
