wow great job

Take your iris page to a Kinko's and print it on a color laser printer. Won't bleed from the glue or paint. Maybe cost you $2 for them all.

An Easy fix if your iris is smearing is to use Krylon UV Clear coat on the whole sheet before cutting it out.
2-3 thin coats completely dry will stop the smearing. Don't put it on too heavy because it might stiffen the paper a little.

Also a nice effect if you are adding LEDs is to drill a hole in the from of the eye slightly smaller than the iris.
This will allow the light to shine through the iris' more brighter then the cornea. you can also paint the inside of the
ball with white to block light in areas.

The yarn is brilliant BTW.

Gonna give this a try.

Wow you're so artistic! Those turned out realistic for sure! Not sure my skill level allows me to do something that good but I'll definitely try some of your techniques in the next couple months.
