ok lets list what we wish and shall organize at the end of the month that will give every dear soul enough time to save some pennies. take a peek at the guys wears......... figure what you wish and list....... and we can take it from there now he does sell reasonable acrylic eyes but i honestly do not know if they would bake ok so will grab one pair to try out for next oder but hes a few diffy bits and pieces of interest ........ bulk order will cost $9.95 and will take a week delivery...so no probs there. it is usual for 6 pairs of 4 mm cost $20 usd......... so considering the exchange and fees and card feed and postage it ends up around $5 a pair give or take a little according to the time etc.. stores.ebay.com/JNCSHOP_Baby-Doll-Eyes_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZ1QQfsubZ19QQftidZ2QQtZkm

well............ they are beautiful aren't they.
but theres a lot to be said for finding the right bake able sealer that will NOT scratch off..... but the look is achievable......... i wonder if it able to be scratched off easy cause my glass beads are to soothe. hmmmmmmmmmm back to the lab.... but getting closer ladies getting closer.....

I seal all my men after painting or powdering I cover them with a thin layer of liquid clay sponged on with a cosmetic sponge. Works well seals and protects.... if that helps

well i got some spanky white glass beads and painted them up with g paints and or pearlx and such and sealed them with g* but they scratch off to easy......... urrrr tried glues they all burnt.... tried liquid sculpty- that wassent clear enough urrrrrr tried g sealer but the glass bead urrrrrrr not strong enough the paint just comes off...... i just wanted to use glass but maybe i should scratch the iris first before painting it might hold.......... read some lady makes hers and seales them with sculpty varnish and manages to bake them just fine... have no idea how, ive tried it half a billion times....... bubbled teary eyes........ sigh. theres got to be a tuff as bakeable sealer around. any more eye dears? ?

Ummmm not sure but do have a piece of info I got off line and when I find it will scan and send to you.......and be QUIET I know what you're thinkn....OMG another 3 months to wait Now with some eyes I paint then seal with Gallery Glass (liquid) by Plaid.Use the Crystal clear. Can't bake it though. It dries in 8 hours and cures in 7 days. Is water soluble and $10.00 a bottle - 236 mls. Got mine from sewing/haberdashery shop or some where that sells artsy stuff. Just google it in N.Z. It also gives a nice clear teardrop effect on dolls or paintings But can be peeled off if you try hard Does that help? Will look for other info.....ta ta ........ ;D

hmmmmmmm yer...... theres a lot to be said for the gallery glass its fabulous stuff........
i need to seal the eyes..... and then be able to bake for at least 30 mins on 130 to know they are going to survive.... now i was just thinking about the home use ceramic paints........ you have to bake to set them so they might hold tight......... and a thin layer of clear would be ok..... im sure it would look ok.........
just a make a few but am always able to scratch them off with the sculpting tools and such.........sigh.. maybe its my shiny beads not holding the paint strongly enough to.....hmmmm

Hey blue about a glaze for the glass beads There is a ceramic paint that you can get from Bunnings and possibly stationary wharehouse that you can use on plates etc. and bake at a higher temp than polymerclay for a long time They are tiny bottles and there is another brand but the one I know is called Ceramica and does come in a clear gloss Your suppose to be able to eat off it once baked Don’t know if it’s the awnser Hope it helps

Sorry blue Didn’t read that bit Read your distress and went to post my answer And doh! Hope you post pictures of these eyes I’d love to learn how to make real tiny ones My problem with tiny things is the fingers break Ugh How do I make tiny hands knowing that a few weeks after baking I’ll lose a finger
