making eyes

You might want to try your hand at vacuum forming:

If your just starting - resin might be an easier and safer way to start. It is very easy to make a half-round mold and fill it with colored resin.
If you use clear resin yuo can paint the eye in from behind for a very realistic effect.
Also, you can make eyes from Super Sculpy - which is available at any good craft store, bake them in the oven and paint - voila!
