What does every one use for eye pupils? Do you paint them?

felt pads for furniture and tables from lowes

doll or teddy bear eyes work great

I paint them onto foam ball halves... Or sometimes clay ... or sometimes plastic spoons.

I use glass eyes, so I don't have to worry about pupils. But my dolls are a lot smaller then the avarage here...

I paint them.

My pieces are a bit small too so I use glass beads and a bit of glass paint to customize the eyes, and also small marbles.  Sometimes when sculpting out of Fimo or Sculpey I use clay and paint them.

Cheers,
Cody

Thanks everyone! When making dolls I always painted my eyes on. But I did not use pingpong balls. Lol. While rumaging through my craft stuff. I found some of those vinyl stick on numbers. I found the little dots left after you peel off the 8 worked out great. But I love all the ideas I can get.

This is supposed to be for beginners, but still I guess you'll painting skill and patience...

That bench-top fan-forced oven that is shown in the first link you posted Rikka is just too cool! I've never seen anything like that. When I was still with StoneLion Puppet Theater, we had found an old food warmer. Think small refrigerator like us use in a dorm room only it has heating elements and fans to keep things warm. We would put our papermache' and PaperClay projects in it to dry them out faster. Had to keep it really low heat or else it would shrink things to fast and ruin the project but it did cut dry times in half.

I'm not sure what brand names are the best. I have heard of this one before.

You can also use a food dehydrator.  You can find these at thrift stores or yard sales if want an inexpensive investment. These work really well for curing paper clay.

Oh... yeah a food dehydrator. I bet that would be perfect since it is intended to work slowly. Would still speed up and help the process but not too fast. My worry with the bench-top fan-forced oven was that it may be too hot and was not sure how low you could turn it.

I will have to google that! Thanks Cody, that is a great idea!
