YOUR NEEDLE FELTING QUESTIONS ANSWERED~WHAT SIZE EYES??

Hello, just spent 45 minutes looking through your photostream pics. I love so many of your animals. I had to look twice at the brussels griffon to see which was the sculpture!! (the true test of fabulous!!!)

Love the deerhound and the beautiful coat on the shelty. You did such a wonderful job on all your sculptures.

Would you mind giving us a guide to the size of eyes to purchase for each size animal? I mean

” for one inch use ? sized eyes, up to three inches use? sized. 3 to 5 inches use ? size.” ect.

I wanted to order from the seller you have listed but am overwhelmed by the options!! Thanks marsha kay

Hi Marsha,
Thank you for your kind words on my dog sculptures! I use the same size eye as the inched in height generally speaking. So I use 2 mm eyes in 2 inch, 3 mm in a 3 inch, 4 mm in 4 inch, 5 mm in a 5 inch, etc.
Of course some breeds have larger eyes like a shih tzu  or smaller eyes like chow…see photos.

It’s good to have a couple of sizes, at least so you can see how they look. I get the ones on wire, and cut the wire to about 1/4 inch so I can stick it in the head to see if the size is right. Be sure to check that they line up before gluing. I get my glass eyes from glasseyesonline.com

Please tell him Gerry sent you!
