Pretty flower eyes for your toys available at Suncatcher Eyes in pink, lime, purple, blue, orange, and white in sizes 15mm, 18mm, 20mm, 21mm, and 24mm.
For those of you in the Netherlands, some Suncatcher Eyes are now available on a local website. I am thrilled that Koekeridoo will be carrying Suncatcher Eyes.
If you haven't checked out Koekeridoo, please do. It's a fun site to visit even if you don't speak Dutch (you can use Google translate), and it's even better if you do speak Dutch :) Tess at Koekeridoo offers everything you could possibly want for amigurumi making, and she makes the most adorable amigurumi giraffe and cows!
Introducing new kits that include six pair of clear acrylic safety eyes with washers and instructions how to paint them like I do. The instructions include my tips and tricks, the brushes and paints that I find work best, and even how to paint polka dots, stripes, and glow in the dark!
These kits are only available on Etsy for the time being. They are available in sizes 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm, 20mm, and 24mm. Cat eye kits are also available. If they are sold out, just let me know and I'll list another one for you.
With these new kits, you will be able to paint eyes that look like these in minutes:
I love customer appreciation photos, especially when they are like the one I received from a customer who used 12mm Suncatcher Eyes in her Dal:
She cut the post off the back and then inserted them just like other eyes.
The Suncatcher Eyes business is still growing! This month I have added lots of new colors, including neons and even glow-in-the-dark eyes! These new colors are gorgeous!
I will be rolling out new listings in my Etsy shop over the next week, and hopefully life will be kind enough to give me a few days to work on my website and list all the new eyes.
Here are some of the new colors:
I knew my Suncatcher Eyes wouldn't be the only hand-painted eyes on the market forever, but once it finally happened it was a punch in the stomach.
This seller is using photographs of hand-painted eyes that were staged just the way mine are on clear plastic canvas, descriptions that are very close to mine, and tags and materials that also closely resemble mine.
It's a terrible feeling to be copied, but I'm trying to look on the bright side: This will make me work even harder to get the word out about my products.
I found a new supplier who can offer me a much better deal on eyes than I was getting before. That savings is going to be passed on to my customers.
Over the next few weeks, you will begin to see the price of Suncatcher Eyes go down. It will take a few weeks to update my website (one-woman operation here). I have already lowered prices on Etsy. I am so happy to be able to do this!
