Hi Amanda
I have found your tutorials but, hi was wondering if I wanted to use real glass eyes do you know how I insert them?
Cheers

i haven’t used real glass myself as i felt mine from wool but i imagine you would leave an eye socket area for the eyes to go and then use a decent craft glue or use eyes that have a hole at the back for thread to go through(like with buttons) so you can sew them in place.

Hi Tracy, just been looking at pictures of this breed. Very cute! Are you copying a specific dog? You will want the eyes to show up being such a dark coloured dog. So you could use brown glass beads or if felting – from what I can see it would be good to do quite a plump rounded ball of wool for each eye as their eyes really stand out. I would use a ball of caramel brown, with darker brown blended in towards the middle. Then I would add a black centre as the pupil and a spot of white or cream onto the eye to make it look like the light is reflecting. (See my blog post on eyes to see what I did with other animals for the light reflecting spot) I would then outline the eye with a thin line of black and then around that a slightly thicker line of grey. Quite intricate but eyes are well worth it when finished. If you do each stage for both eyes at the same time it will be easier. These are just my thoughts but hope it helps. 🙂
