Who Sculpted the Moon? (new eyes)











Now it's time to put the eyes in their proper place.








Take a piece of clay out of the bag. Since you're going to need two eyes you can sculpt both eyes at the same time if you want, but do remember that you'll have to be careful not to squish one while working on the other when you put them on the moon. It is easier to get them the same size if you do the eyeballs together though. Do it one of two ways (I suggest trying both and seeing which is most comfortable for you). You can make a football of the proper size and carefully cut it in half with your X-Acto knive, or you can take two pieces of clay the same size and shape them into flat backed football shapes. There, pretty simple, isn't it?








Decide where the eyes should go. Look at the moon both from the sides and from the front to be sure of where to put the eyes. Mark it with a pencil if it's easier to keep track of the placement that way. Using your finger wet the area on one side and place the eye on the moon, making sure that the angle of the eye is confortable. Smooth the edges with your fingers and/or your tools. Repeat with the other eye on the other side!








Let the eyes dry!
