I learned to make eyeballs from Master Eyeball maker Walter Hellbach. These are some simple spoons made out of boro practicing the techniques I learned from him a few years ago (using Lauscha glass)...They started out as just something simple to make with some practice eyeballs I had lying around my shop, now I have orders for them like crazy! The eyeballs themselves take me a few hours (unless you add the 4-8 hours of mixing colors for each different shade)

I thought it would be fun to make the "whites" of the eye change color so I fumed the inside with silver & gold...It makes the iris look like its floating...the pipe is A/P tubing with clear swirls |
|
|
The colors in the iris are all trans. striking colors and the "white" part is clear & fumed inside so the whole eye will change colors with use. |

This was made as a replacement for a friend with Brown eyes and my first attempt at making brown eyes |

A woman who bought one of my eyeball rings, requested another ring with a dark blue center & white around in her words "as if the clouds has eyes" this is an eye that I made for that ring but it turned out too big so I put it on a pipe that is made from white with clear swirled in to make it look "fluffy" & cloud like |
