How now brown
The brown irises I have are a little golden in color rather than a dark brown. So I popped them out of the eyeball and painted acrylic raw umber in the routing. When I placed the iris back in the eye, the color was much darker.
Great Idea.
ReplyDeleteHi Kenny,
ReplyDeleteI just paint the back side of the iris. Then I don't have to worry about paint on the eye itself. Hope this helped.
Best Regards,

An even better "eye"-dea. Thanks, Mike!
