When asked how I do something, I really can't answer. It's just something brain-wise that doesn't work out.

I've been asked a few times how I did these eyes:

I wasn't able to really tell people how even though they're rather simple.

I did just make another pair for my new-to-me Yo-Tenshi Yuki in a similar way because the glass eyes she came with are deformed and it was difficult to get her to look in one direction, and maybe I can write it out.... Were I better at explaining how I do things, I'd be a you-tuber. 😅

These are half acrylic, half UV resin.

It's critical that you work in a UV-free environment. The resin needs time to settle before being cured to get the right visual effect and you'll keep using the same exact batch of custom colored resin throughout, so you don't want it to cure prematurely.

My office has weird lights that don't produce any UV and blackout curtains so it's the perfect place.

I haven't tried this with different colors in the same eyes, but I bet it looks neat.

The eye base should have a shallow, flat iris indentation with walls that are straight up and down. A deeper indentation would probably work, too, but shallow is fine because the resin layer will be thin.

Probably any shape would work, not just round.

These are old D. Eye. Y. kits.

The first layer will be just something shiny but only in the middle. On the eyes shown above I used these oversized glitter hexies. They have a slight purple sheen when the light hits them just so. For Yuki's eyes I used metallic silver snowflake glitter, and you'll see how that looks different later.

This is optional, of course. I like the little bit of shine it gives and feel like it adds back some depth that's lost due to the indentation being shallow and flat.

Put a teeny blip of clear resin into the eye base, then your shiny, center it, and cure so it doesn't move around. Try not to get any resin on the top of that shiny piece because you'll need to adhere a pupil to it and it's easier if the surface you're sticking a pupil on is flat.

These eyes use one color of resin.

This is actually my leftover resin after I've cured it to clean up, but you'll want to mix a little UV resin with just enough colorant (resin dye, alcohol ink, etc.) so that it's still transparent but has an obvious color to it. It's a trial and error thing. I chose purple because the eyes she came with were purple.

I don't add any sparkle until after the next step because I feel like glitter in or visually over the pupil looks like dust or some sort of problem.

I have a pupil mold. If you're dexterous enough you can dab bits of this colored resin onto the sticky side of some packing or resin tape to make pupils, but make pupils with your colored resin.

After the pupils are molded you can add your sparkle to the remaining resin if you want.

Next you'd add just enough resin to the eye base over the shiny layer that you can see a bit of color (adjust for how much color you want), and it's important that you make sure the resin climbs the walls of the indentation. That's how you get that slightly darker line around the outside of the iris.

Do not fill the indentation or you won't get the visual effect of a darker line around the outside. It's a really thin layer of resin, just enough to apply your desired color. Give the resin time to settle so that the layer is even other than where it's clinging to the walls of the indentation.

Put in your pupils, center them, and cure.

At this point I decided I wanted to add a little sparkle to Yuki's eyes, but only a little because the metallic snowflakes are kind of intense...

To add a little sparkle at this point I mixed it into the resin then carefully applied the thinnest of thin layers only around the pupil, let it rest so it settles evenly, and cure.

Next is doming, which is done just like any other pair of resin eyes. Plop your resin on, let it's own surface tension create the dome you want, cure, and you're done. The UV resin I use is kind of thick with high surface tension which works great for doming.

So. Hope that uh...... Made sense.

Anyway, here are the eyes I just finished for Yuki with an extra piece of the snowflake glitter so you can see what I was talking about:

The pupils being a bit transparent lets light bounce off that shiny item in the back creating depth.

The metallic snowflake being in the back makes them really intense, which wasn't exactly what I was going for, but it's nice nonetheless.

Now I just need to get her (I decided she's a girl because she looks like a mini Mimi to me) a wig, clothes, and some wings since hers weren't included.
