This is awesome! How small is it? Growing up, I always wanted to collect glass eyes. I just found them fascinating. I have never even owned one glass eye. Sniff. Maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to this piece.
Glass eyes are kind of alive. It’s only 9cms x 9cms, Laura.
I LOVE this. It is mesmerizing!
I am hypnotising you!
