I have always thought that the eye should be white

yeah all you need to do is blow up 3 large pics of the eye and use each as a stincle for each color. i did some large beer pong tables for friends with the eye on them but i free hand them also. its not really that hard to free hand but i am a graphic design major so maybe thats why i didn't find it difficult, good luck post some pics when ur finish

I painted my yard last December just before the BCS game. A co-worker snapped these pics of my house. LINK
I spray painted the eye freehand. But first I mapped it out on a grid. I measured/marked the yard into 2' squares. I printed the eye on 8.5x11 paper and drew a grid with 1" squares on it. Its a simple technique to get the image drawn correctly and to scale. One tip though- I it would show up better if you first paint the grass white and then paint the colors on top of that.

I have 1 I have painted in my garage. It was made for the yard but I used it on the wall and it came out freaking awesome. I will sell it because I have no use for it anymore. Let me know, my number is 278-8996
I do not know how to add the image. If some can please let me know how I will be glad to show you

I realize you're probably looking for the cheaper route, but they sell the kits at Home Depot.

I know if you go in the store these things are by the Paint Center and you can buy the paint and stencil separately. Pretty sure the stencil is relatively cheap.

How about a stencil of the eye for a tennis racquet?
I play a lot of tennis and that would be way cool to put the eye on the strings.

Stencil is reusable. The paint is what is expensive.

There's a thread here somewhere with a link to a place that sells the stencil and paint. I'll look for it.

I have the stencil and paint. I used 1 can of the gold paint and it is the same 1 from Home Depot. I will sell it if someone is interested. Please let me know what you want to pay for it. It is a 6ft by 4ft and it is reuseable but I don't have any other use for it because I am not doing my lawn. Please let me know 278-8996

You can buy the whole kit at Lowes. The stencil is sold separate from the paint. It will run you about $60 for the stencil and paint. I plan on putting one in my front yard this year.
