Making eyes at a good looking bird!

I got started on making the eyes tonight!

I started with a styrofoam ball, cut in half...



Then I used spray adhesive to cover the halves with white felt...



Cut off the excess and smoothed/trimmed the wrinkles...




I used scrap material from the beak and body to make the eyelids..


So, let's hold it up and see how they are looking...



I used the lighter grey jacket material for the eyelids for a bit of contrast...




Not bad, eh?  


 A big thanks to ClothespinPuppets for this fab youtube tutorial!
