Finish Amigurumi eyeball
Now we have finished crocheting the eyeball and we start to spice it up a little bit.
First lets add some facets to the iris,
with some lines that run from the inside to the outside. For this you use a blunt darning needle and embroidery thread, darning thread or crochet yarn with a color nearly simular as your iris. The color should be slightly lighter or darker, but not to deviate to much.
The you embroider with white yarn a
few reflections to the pupil and the iris. Embroider a small spot on the black pupil and a slightly larger oval on the inner part of the iris.
Now you still embroider with red yarn
a few veins to the eyeball. Begin always near the center of the back and draw jagged lines foreward to the iris. Then you embroider some branches to the main line. The wires should end short before the iris and do not touch it. This you are doing once around, thereby 3-5 strands of wires will arise, that are evenly distributet
