Puppet Eyes... lets say "anime style"


i haven't been doing puppetry/puppet building for very long at all, but decided to do this for anyone who would like to read it. Here is a way i found to do puppet eyes...

i started out looking for ways to make eyes for my puppets, and decided right away that pingpongs weren't my style... i did a few with the practice golf balls, but didn't like them much either... i went looking around for something... i found styrofoam balls (all shapes and sizes) Got some and went to it... i Hot Glued fleece and/or felt to them... That is where Haygood's, and Dirrty Sanch**'s eyes came from... Polly will have styrofoam eyes also...


But what i found was really good (for me) was the "foamies" material... 2mm for the iris, pupil, and reflections, and 3mm for the white "eyeball" part... i don't know what to call it, but i'll refer to it as the "eyeball thingy", or the "whites of the eye"... But "that there" will have to suffice also...

Back on topic...

here are the steps... ... ...
