Eye got it!
Ooooh...bad pun, huh? These, dear people, are the real McCoys. Real glass eyeballs that were in use at some point in time a long, long time ago. You can find these in a very strange antique store up in Taos, NM.
My peeps. Altered digitally.
And, another version of glass 'eyes' I used on a round-robin shrine (the lovely Leau is the proud owner of this Shrine that 11 others worked on).
Want to see more of "E"? Visit the ABC Wednesday page! It's a global event!

The first impression was 'ooh, gruesome', but I do like the picture! Very original...
Eye got it too. Terrific post for the letter E. I think the glass eyes are fascinating.
E for Ewwww! Kind of fascinating though. Great photo.
Wow! Whodathunk? This is a great post!
Freaky, but oh-so-cool! Sounds like a fun antique shop to explore. I like your altered eyeballs. And I also like bad puns btw ;D
you are involved in so many interesting artistic endeavors. me? i can hardly write my name with flair. i am trying not to think about those previously owned glass eyes.....
xo
Kind of creepy, but very original.
It's funny that I find the glass eyeballs to be a very curious and fascinating thing. I see by some of the comments that it's on the creepy side. You must admit, it is hard to turn your eyes away from the image!
I suppose loosing one's eye was a more commonplace thing back then and a glass eye was better than an empty socket.
I just marvel at the 'realness' of it.
Wow ... what a treasure!!
Love those glass eyeballs ... .
