Apoxy Eyelids?

I'm getting ready to install some plastic dome/taxidermy style eyes onto my resin blank, and was wondering if anybody had any tips for doing eyelids out of apoxy putty! Should I put the putty on the resin as well as the eyes themselves? Is there a general shape I should be going for? Any general tips at all?

Edit: Anyone have experience using fleece or something like it for eyelids either?
