Solid Black Glass - Flat Back Eyes on Wire

Black Glass Eyes on Wire. Solid Black Glass – Flat Back Eyes on Wire, created as a solid black piece of glass with a flat profile at either end of a wire. Ideal for small birds or mammals where the natural iris is very dark. The wire diameter is approximately 1-1.5mm in diameter depending on the diameter of the eye being selected. The diameter of the eye is measured at the widest point and is accurate to +/- 2% as a general estimate. these eyes are handmade and not cast. This solid black eye has a round top with a flat back in profile ?ideal for small birds or mammals where the natural iris is very dark. These eyes are often chosen where it is preferable not to have a pupil and therefore the direction of a look or gaze of the piece is not specific. All eyes on wire allow the artist to cut the wire to the desired length. This could be to remove the wire completely, to allow for a closer fit perhaps. The wire can be left longer for ease of handling, or to allow the wire to be made into a loop on the back. Looping thin wires should only be done to aid a physical fixing such as clay, glue or putty. Thinner wires tend to be quite brittle where they enter the back of the eye. Other eye styles that already have loops manufactured on the back of the eye are more suitable and are in fact designed to be sewn in place. This style of eye can be used in many different applications. Probably many more than we have listed here.
