A Tiny Toffee Eye
Today is Easter Saturday, and most of us are doing the right thing and staying home to stop the spread of COVID-19. This gave me the opportunity to finish a little experiential piece I started yesterday, while making Eye Pops. I already had my polymer clay eyeball made and baked, ready to be transformed into a miniature "Toffee Eye". A little toffee apple (or candy apple), but with an eyeball in place of the more traditional fruit.

I didn't apply quite so much detail to this eyeball as with my Eye Pops, just for comparison purposes. I think I prefer them with the extra blood spatter and darker bloodshot, as it adds to the layering and depth. If I make more in the future, they'll get the same gory treatment. My Toffee Eye received a lovely red glossy coating and I allowed it to pool at the base, just as it would with a real toffee apple. This base allows the work to stand upright on it's own, which is actually really cool!
