Eyes

Placing eyes, is one of the most difficult tasks in bearmaking in my opinion. Not the actual action of placing them, but choosing would be a better word.
I do this  last  in finishing  my bears.
Today I finished this blue bear and he was especially difficult. I think I TRIED ON EVERY EYE IN MY BOX. So when it is like this, mostly they end up with simple old shoe buttons. That always works :)
