How I did it: Dremel down the side of a wooden bead, painted it white, then used sharpies to make the iris. Then Hot glue mied with red water colors and stirred to make the viscera of the eye and also hold the plastic legs and tail from a dollar store lizard on. red thread to make veins in the eye.

Put it all into the emptied container from a scented candle, and filled with water and colored soap mixture. (that way it won't be likely to get moldy like some food products can).

Lessons & tips: Avoid anyth soaps that smell like aftershave, High alchohol content will start to strip off the paints and glues.

Wood beads float (d'oh). and heat and reshape plastic peices before the final assembly.

Pick your colors carefully so that they allow the right level of obscured detail and emphasised detail.
