Woman Makes Glass Eyes In Variety Of Colors And Shapes
Dorothy Davis, sole woman in the United States making artificial glass eyes, runs the family business from her New York home. She crafts eyes in many colors and shapes, often in sets for different lighting and moods, explaining eyes can last one to three years and vary by pupil size and iris color. Her work began after her father’s stroke forced him to stop, and she’s continued a three generation craft with careful color matching and detailing.
