Default Those Betty Davis Eyes!!
Here's a closeup of my Palo Duro Cowpuncher. How do you like those eyes? They look right through you and almost follow you around the room. Notice how the eye sparkle changes in each closeup. I explain how I did it on my new Blog posting.

Great idea, Lynn. I've used a small drop of gloss varnish on bird eyes, but hadn't tried epoxy - should work even better!

Yes the eyes do seem to have a way of staring you down. Kind of the way some pictures follow you around the room.
