amigurumi eyes

Anyone who can tell me where to get generic amigurumi eyes in a fairly large amount (i.e. more than one pair) will get a big cyberkiss! I can't find them at Michael's, JoAnn's, or any LYS. I found some on Etsy, but they are handpainted and $$$$ (they're beautiful, but I'm just looking for the plain black ones).

Any suggestions, online or otherwise?

Thank you!

Dewi

I find them at Hobby Lobby in the bear making department or the doll making department.

Thanks! No Hobby Lobby in Cali -- but the accompanying website has them! Thank you very much!

I went to a craft store looking for bear supplies and the sales clerk told me that "people weren't really in to making bears right now".

I couldn't believe she said that. I was shocked. Speechless. Totally blew my mind. That's why I like Hobby Lobby. That and my husband seems to be able to find anything on the internet.

red meat isn't bad for you... fuzzy blue-green meat is bad for you.

You know that I have resorted to doing just that--using beads for eyes. And string jointing rather than wait on being able to buy the plastic lock on joints and eyes.

Cheaper for me and I like the way it works just fine. I have resorted to embroidery for facial features if I know a child or a pet will have contact with it. Less lawsuits and I sleep easier.

Otherwise I advertise it as "Not a toy" and cross my fingers and hope for the best.

I wanted to say how adorable your bear and dragon(?) was. The last time I posted a compliment on this forum my comment disapeared.

I'm having one of those days.

Well you got a nice chuckle out of me with that one!

I like the way you think.

I have a friend that is at Narconon VistaBay and they would really enjoy either a bear or a dragon. How can I get one to her?

Her prices are fantastic and she will work with you with combo packs of different sized eyes. I use A LOT of eyes and I do like the quality and the huge selection she has.

There are other places to get them in bulk like crscrafts and other places but I do like Lisa's eyes the best - her prices are great and she does not jack up shipping :)
