Eyeballs for ReadingMate.

I use a pair of the pink rubber gloves to make eyeballs.

I like using a strainer for eyeball making.

and also an ice cube maker is good for organizing them.

Very productive day.

I don't know about you but I love doing a few projects at a time. I get easily bored if I have to do only one thing to get done for long time. My productivity definitely increases if I enjoy myself that leads doing a few projects for a day. Doing a little of each project sometimes will give you a surprising reward because suddenly a few projects will be finished at a time. Hurray! Well, today is not that kind of amazing day but at least I've finished a quite few ReadingMate. Lovely.

Yes, started making eyeballs

Mike and I are staying in the art school today and I will do eye ball making. This is the first process-make the perfect (almost) shaped eyeballs by needle felting before wet felting. I keep the sample (above right) and all the eyeballs should be the same size and hardness. I use the very fine needles (from Japan), I made a set of three needles together with the blu tack, so I can make these needles stay close enough to fit in the surface of a small ball.

These are the sample of before the wet felting and after wet felting. I keep these samples for the quality control sake (ha!). I use the merino wool fleece.
