I use Christie bears for looped 3mm boot button eyes and sometimes the onyx beads.I use white thick thread for the beads and just touch the thread with a marker to hide it once theeyes is fixed.This blends better than thik black for some reason.
I also use an awl.
I make a dark grey area with marker before I fix the eyes as airbrushing wee tinies sometimes leaves a lighter bit.

OH Crud Kimmie,
I can't just chop off the heads!!!Not that a few bears haven't lost their heads here now and then.
I usually make the heads first do all the sculpting, everything before I make the body, so if a head turns out ugly it never gets a body. HA HA I have afew ugly heads rolling around. bear_grin bear_laugh bear_grin

Thanks for the tips.
