Etsy 

6060eyes began over 18 years ago selling on Etsy. We happily continued with Etsy until March 12, 2024 when they summarily suspended our store and then denied our appeal. We never received a detailed explanation as to why this was done; only generic bot-driven responses.  Etsy also unilaterally refunded any pending order where our customer used the Etsy Convo feature to enquire about the status of the order after receiving emails from Etsy that we had ceased operations.  This was not our doing and we apologize to our customers who suddenly found their orders with us cancelled. Fortunatley about 11 years ago we realize all of our eggs were in the Etsy basket and that represented a threat to our security as an online business, so we opened this website to ensure we could continue serving our customers should Etsy give us trouble.  We are glad we did!  We want our customers to know 6060eyes is not going away and will continue accepting orders on this website and eventually other non-Etsy platforms. Sadly, our Etsy days are now in the past, but with this many eyes we are always looking to the future!

PayPal 

When we started this website PayPal was one of several pre-integrated payment options available with the site's template.  Over the years the other options have fallen out of favor or are no longer viable. PayPal has thus become the main payment option for the site and the only one still integrated with the shopping cart/checkput process.  We understand PayPal is not not everyone's preferred way of making payments and some may desire alternative methods.  Until recently, our Etsy shop fulfilled that role for us. We are now looking at alternatives that we can integrate into this site's template. In the mean time, we offer Venmo and Cash App as alternatives to PayPal.  Customers may always contact us to work out other payment methods as well. Please understand that while we are willing to accept them, checks and money orders will substantially affect how long it takes to ship your order.

Cat Eyes or Round/Animal Eyes?

6060eyes has website sections devoted to Cat Eyes and Round or animal Eyes. Each one has unique hand painted designs and factory colors, yet as you browse the site you'll find that most of our hand painted designs and color options are available in both types of eyes. There are some exceptions, however, such as the transparent painted cat eyes, which are only available as cat eyes, and our spider eyes, or starfall eyes, which mostly only come in round animal eyes.  We originally divided the site to accomodate the designs unique to one type of eye, but since so many of the designs apply to both types that distinction is almost misleading. We hope you will browse both sections while searching for that perfect match for your special creations. You can choose round or cat eye options at checkout for all listings available in both types.

What's New?

Steuart has wrtten a book!  Although it's not about crafts, crochet, sewing or knitting, we decided one of the benefits of running your own website is you get to decide what goes on it :o) The book, Thirteen White Roses, recreates the events of November 9, 1926 when a tornado ripped through our home town, destroying an elementary school filled with children.  Steuart and co-author Anthony Puzzilla tell the stories of the people who were involved and how a small town of 400 people with no hospital and no emergency services rose to the challenge of dealing with the disaster, turning the despair of their losses into hope for a better future.  100 years later the 1926 storm remains the deadliest tornado ever to strike Maryland and is still considered the 3rd most powerful to strike east of the Mississippi River.  For those inclined to check it out, you can find it here on Amazon.

Check out the rainbow designs, Swirly eyes, and the added varieties of Tiger eyes, Candy eyes and more! 

Rainbow Rise eyes are a fun, bright and colorful addition to our line.  The design has a burst of colorful stripes starting from a central yellow line and radiating on both sides of the yellow line through the color spectrum; ending with green stripes half way down circumference of the eye. A pure white bottom half completes the design.  We're only offering these in 12mm, 15mm and 18mm round eyes for the time being.  If you prefer smaller sizes, drop us a line and let us know. 

Another addition to the rainbow themed eyes are these Pastel Rainbow Swirly Eyes.   The are a softer yet still striking design variation of our popular Rainbow Swirly Eyes.  We offer them in both cat and round eye types and in a variety of sizes.  While the product photo may show a mis-matched pair you'll get a matching set of whichever eye type you prefer.  Check them out and let us know how you put them to use by dropping us a line or visiting our facebook page.

Celebrate the harvest with these adorable pumpkin harvest eyes.  Like all of our custom painted eyes, each pair will be hand-painted to order.  Pumpkin Harvest eyes blend darker orange stripes over a lighter yellow-orange background, complete with a small twisting stem sporting a little green leaf. While we offer them in cat eyes, we feel they look much better with round pupils and are sure to give a warm and cozy finishing touch to your harvest-themed creations.  We offer them in a variety of sizes here, in our Halloween themed Zombie Eyes section that also includes bat eyes, zombie eyes and our popular spider eyes.  If you want some tricks with your treats, cheeck out the glow in the dark options for many of these designs.

As long as we're on a harvest theme, let's harvest some blueberries!  This delicious pair of eyes was inspired by our Peppermint Candy design, but since it didn't quite match any of the Christmas candy that inspired that design (or other Christmas Candy themed eyes) we decided to call them Blueberry Candy eyes and just pretend it did! No matter how we came up with the name, the design is still striking and offers a nice variation over traditional factory shades of solid blue eyes. We offer them in both cat and round eye types and in a variety of sizes.   

Let's not forget the design that started it all.  Clara's Magic In Your Eyes design remains popular even after 17 years.  She's painted every single pair we've ever sold!  The design comes in 9 color variations: Bubblegum pink with yellow dots, Ice blue with red dots, plum purple with yellow dots, forrest green with yellow dots, mint green with red dots, dark blue with yellow dots (pictured left), chocolate brown with yellow dots, champagne white with pink dots and moss green with red dots. They are both elegant and whimsical and proudly adorn thousands of the most creative pieces of art our customers can create.  They can be found here.

Do you have a design or color combination in mind that we don't already offer? Let us know what you want and we'll try to accomodate your request.  You may also suggest alternative color combinations for our current designs that better fit your needs.  Just let us know what you need and we'll do our best to deliver. 

We do not pad our postage rates with profit so we can advertise what appear to be better prices for our product.  We do, however, include an allowance to cover the cost of supplies and materials needed to ship each package. Those considering placing a larger order should contact Clara to see about reduced rates. In general we offer reduced shipping to destinations within the United States for orders over $35, but our website won't automatically adjust the rates.  Please contact us for more information.

Our website includes a blog feature that we've been playing with as a way to highlight projects some of our customers have produced.  We are honored to be a recommended source of eyes for many talented pattern designers.  We love to see how our eyes are put to use--especially the hand painted ones. Most of the blog posts are highlights of posts from our facebook page.  Stop by and let us know what you've been creating.
