I know some of you are probably wondering where such a realistic, and nasty looking eyeball came from....well this one is an actual glass prosthetic eye ball, which oddly enough was worn by a WW2 Veteran. Yep, that's his eyeball!
I have such a thing for eyes, and the whole evil eye warning odd evil spirits and bad vibes sent to you by others, so I wanted an eyeball piece that was unique, and unlike anything you can find at some cookie cutter mall.
I ordered the prosthetic eye on eBay for a really low price of $35.00. I think the prosthetic eyes have gone up in price though.
At any rate, this piece was very easy to make.
I could not place a glass eyeball into a ring setting, because I knew that it would likely just break, as I'm a bit of a brute with my jewelry.
I decided for Halloween that this prosthetic eye would look best wrapped in colored jewelry wire. I chose red and black because it seemed all the more eerie.
Simply wrapping the eye up in the wire was easy, but I had to make sure everything was tight and snug, and here is the final outcome. Not too bad!!!
