Hi Laura,
These are mannequin eyes. You can get them on the web. There are several companies. Just goggle "glass eyes, or "mannequin doll eyes" and you'll find them.
Take care
Dan

Hello Wendy,
Thank you for the nice comment. I've fallen way behind on this site. Too many human pigs in the world. Thanks for the compliment on the dragon too. I use virtually any water based paints. Any "all purpose" paint, or house paint is a combination of latex (rubber) and acrylic (plastic). I use both. The glue in the cloth doesn't cause any problems at all. The cloth remains somewhat porous after the glue dries. So the paint adheres nicely.
Take care
Dan

Where do you get the eyes or do you make them before hand?

Whelp I gotto say it, I'm offended. What did pigs ever do to you? Honestly, humans are the scourge of the earth bar none. We're what nightmares are made of, not the other way around. Making "monsters" that aren't really monsters but are...A dizzzying(not a word) art concept and no fun. Anyway, keep up the good work. I love it.
ps; Your paint job on the dragon is remarkable, can I ask what brand/s of paints you use? They are so vibrant! Does the glue from the cloth mache cause any problems when you paint? Sorry, I've been inspired now I'm ranting. Thanks for the smiles! Take care

Hi Candy (and AJ),
I started this blog to relieve some of the cynic energy in me. I was going to make a pig per month but it's gotten away with me. I have a new one underway, but too many things going on. I'll get back to this soon. As usual, thanks for the support. You are too sweet.

Dan, the websites and art just keeps coming. My daughter and I think it is a fabulous idea to keep buying every domain name you can think of. I found your "For Sale" pieces and we both think you should charge more than you do. Your artwork is masterful. Enjoy reading your commentaries. Candy & AJ

Hi Lindsey,
I'm glad you like these. I am way behind in making them. I thought I could pump out one a month, but alas, no time, even though the number of "pigs" in the world keep multiplying.
Thank you for popping by.
Dan
