Baby powder... who would have thunk!  They turned out great!  Thanks for the info on the products.

@ Snail I bet you could embed your old eyes into the resin. You might have to let it set up just a bit first though so they did not sink to far in.

I think maybe all the products are on Amazon but Ranger also has a site. http://www.rangerink.com/melt_art.htm There is a product called the Melting Pot that they sell to use with the embossing enamel.

@Lola Did you melt your Embossing Enamel before you poured it?

You know the description of the Mold-N-Pour they sell sound a lot like Google Search: two part plumbers putty epoxy you can get in the hardware store.  Hmmm.... I wonder if it would work the same way.  May have to run and get some and give it a try.

I like the baby powder white ones. Are those felt dot black pupils in your samples?  Do you know if you can paint shiney black paint on that type surface, will paint stick?  I have extra old eyes, I wonder if you could embed them on the backside so that you had the peg to insert into head? Thanks for sharing your good ideas.

Snail - Yep, Felt. I don't think the paint would stay on these. They are like super slick plastic when they are done. I think you could insert a peg, but the different additions (color, etc) give it different set up times, so you would have to experiment.

For evil/ spooky characters you might want to try yellow. You could make bloodshot eyes with fuzzy red yarn. You could make elven eyes with glittering dots in the pupils (a bit of starlight in the eyes). Do you think it would be possible to make an eye in blue and then cast white around it? That would make a nice innocent eye- or an astound one. You might wanna try cat eyes or do you think this would work: take a piece of paper (let's say green) and put fuzzy brown yarn from middle to rim. Then put the pupil on and cast- so you'd get hazel. Sorry, can't think of more right now.

Rikka - AWESOME suggestions. That is exactly what I was looking for.

I hadn't thought about the yarn, but I will grab some the next time I am by the Joannes and let you know how it turns out.

I have been experimenting with doing a black pupil, but haven't had much luck so far. First, I haven't found a good add if for black that doesn't keep the eye from setting up right. It still gets kind of gummy. It's hard to explain. Also, stay far FAR away from acrylic paint, as this has never worked for me.

Second, when I try to do two colors in the same mold, I always have a problem trying to get the first layer to "settle" down into a nice circle. I'll post a pic below.
Once I figure out how to do it (maybe mold one part totally and then create another mold around it?) I think it would work.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm super excited to try them.

I'm so glad to get info on this product!  Thanks!

Angel - Sure! You all have helped me so much when I was doing research, I am happy to return the favor. Like I said above, I'm not positive about the brand name, but I will have to buy some more in a few weeks if I keep this up, and will confirm.

Lola,

Have you tried the Heat It Inks they have? http://www.rangerink.com/products/prod_meltart_heatitinks.htm

I don't fully understand what they are talking about here but they have some recipes for on this page. http://www.rangerink.com/tips/tips_HeatItInksRecipes.htm

Thank you I have added items below

Billy - Thanks for adding the links. I thought they were showing up in the preview, but I guess not. You might be able to find these at Michaels and use the 40% off coupon. They have an app for smart phones, so if you can't find the coupon online, you can access it from your phone.

I did melt it, but I am always looking for stuff on the cheap, so I tried it with a wilton chocolate melting pot on clearance (the old kind with the adjustable melting temps dial). They were closing them out for $3, so I thought I would try that before getting the full on melting pot. Just remember if you do this, you can never use if for food again! I wrote all over the handle of mine (CRAFT ONLY) so no one going through my office closet will decide to take it for a spin in the kitchen.

If you have one you are going to convert, I set mine at 3.

Please let me know if the plumbers epoxy works! Excited to hear back!

Yes, I know this is like, 10,000 posts from me in a row, but I wanted to make sure I responded to everyone. 

Here are some pics from the stuff I poured yesterday.

First, I decided to try black pupils, as mentioned above. I tried pouring the black into the mold to let it set up with the thought that I could just pour another color over it. This did not work so well.



I'm not sure why it spread the way it did, but I'm sure it will get figured out eventually.

I had a hard time trying to figure out how to make an opaque black, and I still haven't found it. I tried black acrylic paint, and thought I had the solution, except that the three casts I did came out totally pitted.



Granted these were old molds, but they shouldn't have had a problem. Oh, and then there was this:



So...that's not supposed to happen. I'm going to let it sit in the open air for another day and see if that helps.

On a happier note, I tried adding in some mica powder and got a marbelized look.



Then, to test the "Will paint stay?" question, I turned one over



Used a paint pen on it



And then tried to rub it off



So, no, paint won't stay. I also tried Sharpie and Copic markers, and neither of those worked either.

Thanks for the help and suggestions everyone.

First of all: thank you very much, you are being very kind and I hope those ideas work for you. I don't know how hot this stuff is or if you could get it fixed in the middle but could you try to use a bit of black cardboard or paper for pupils?

I like the mica marblized. If felt dots stick then maybe shiney black vinyl contact paper might work for a shiny pupil, if it did not wrinkle on the curve too much.
I love plumber's putty it is amazing to stick things together when nothing else works.  I use it to stick Wood and velco to metal wire rods and they stay on even with lots of movement. And it fixed a leak in pipe under the sink too.  I can't imagine how it would work for eyes, it might cost a lot to make a whole eye but it might stick something else to the eye.
One question, when you used acrylic paint was it the dry power or in liquid form?
