Artists: so, no need to paint symmetrical eye?

[@UnpackingtheTrunkCostumes]

Your filmmaking tells such an interesting story. It’s very engaging. Thank you for inspiring us to make one of these beautiful pieces!

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

Hahaha thanks, I really tried to keep it interesting :D

[@spectacularbear]

I love this idea! I can't wait to surprise my gf with one 🥰

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

What a lovely idea to make one as a gift! 😯🥰

[@toricide515]

Wow, I want to make one of these

[@labyinthoiospotnia]

I have wanted one of those eye pendants ever since I saw them but the only tutorial I had seen before was for a rectangular pin. Your options are fantastic and I am definitely going to be social distance purchasing from the craft store to make my own.

I'm so glad I could help! Happy crafting :)

Love your video production as well, wonderful! 🎉💐

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

Thank you 😊 First I really felt they were creepy too, but then after a while they grew on me :D

[@faithwilliamson7466]

Thanks 😊

Thank you for this. I lost my husband last year and while I make cremation jewelry, I'm actually a portraitist and can quickly and easily paint his beautiful eye. To double check, did you say roses symbolize the person has passed? (I'd love a lacrimal but thought I'd have decades to gather the tears.) Thank you so much!

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

I'm so sorry for your loss. What a wonderful idea to make one as a memorial! I'm not sure where you've heard rose, I think I might have said pearl, as those symbolise tears, but there are many meaning different stones carry, please find this quote from the antique jewellery university below :
"In the early nineteenth century, eye miniatures had also evolved into a form of memorial jewellery sometimes referred to as ‘tear jewellery.’ The purpose of the eye portrait was refocused from secret love to remembrance. Decorated with a tear or depicted as gazing through clouds, the miniatures evoked powerful sentiment. Eye miniatures with a memorial intention usually also incorporated hairwork. The symbolism of the gemstones used to surround the portrait added to the sentiment. Pearls often represented tears when they surrounded an eye portrait. Diamond, a motif employed only by patrons with the means to pay for them, represented strength and longevity. Coral is said to protect the wearer from harm, or perhaps to protect the subject of the miniature from harm? Garnets were very popular in Georgian jewellery and are said to have represented true friendship. Turquoise‘s association with ocular health was an interesting choice both as a surround for an eye miniature and a talisman for the wearer."

@@AspiringCostumeDesigner this was immensely helpful, thank you! I'm not sure how I heard the word rose either but I happen to have all those stones on hand right now! And I have the perfect idea for how to paint his eye now but since I'll be using watercolor paper I will use some type of laminate to keep it nice.

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]

Maybe you could use epoxy resin or a lacquer to keep it intact and also give it a shine. Good luck :)

[@AspiringCostumeDesigner]
