Sunrise in Yarn

My first God's-eye request. (Or, am I forgetting one? I feel like I am…) From a college friend, a fellow student of Classics, who teaches high school in another state. 

I'd texted her last week about the ICE murder here, and she'd texted back that at that moment, she was getting ready to go to a funeral for a former student--a kind and wonderful young man––Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov. 
In December, he was killed by the shooter at Brown University, where he was a freshman.

Would I make her a God's eye in sunshiney colors?

Of course I would.

I decided to try a sunrise for Mukhammad... Not sure exactly how to achieve that, but I've gathered some colors:

Luckily, it's easy to unwind the yarn off the sticks-or just to make another. I can make several.
But then I'll run out of yarn! 

I actually need to buy some yarn. I invited people over to make eyes this Saturday––you too, if you're nearby––and I need more yarn for that. 

I do have lots of earth colors (thanks to k!)--I could do lichen-inspired eyes---but few bright ones, and only small amounts of those. I've gotten my yarn from friends or donations to the store, but I'm going to go to a yarn store. A nearby one has a sales bin...

I'd thought I had SO MUCH yarn I'd never run out, but turns out that making 200+ God's eyes does use up a lot of yarn.

It occurs to me, my Classics friend rarely asks for anything, but she is not shy about asking:
Six years ago she’d asked me if I would (for pay) 
make her a stuffed animal for divination by a Roman haruspex (to be played by one of her students):

"Can I hire you to find a stuffed animal that would be appropriate for Roman haruspication, clean it, and make it so that it could be opened up and some sort of liver pulled out and examined? "

 Which I did, of course, as a gift.

I made a buttoned-pocket on a sheep's back and inserted a felt liver. 
I used electronics commands for the signs on the liver: 
on, off, stop, pause, forward, rewind--plus, LOVE. 

Geez, I’d forgotten how cute it turned out:
