Final Touch-ups to the painted spikes, adjustments for overspray and clear coating completed. The original eyes were yellow and small. I had some larger green eyes that work much better with Pamela’s colors. After adding a sufficient amount of silicone glue to the center of the metal eye rings, the new eyes were inserted.
