Red Cent

Cool blank from Avid - has lots of details and cool eyes (a challenge not to lose them). Be sure to sand or camfer them - they won't go together otherwise. The yellow is fluorescent with a little iridescent mist for shine. I painted the ends of the eyes only. I used an awl to punch holes in a 1/4" foam craft sheet, and inserted the eyes into it. Then I painted the ends, first with wicked silver, then layers of pearl black till I got the effect I wanted - like a compound eye.
