The eyes were made using a sandbag and a hammer. flat 18 G - hammered repousse' style- then run through an english wheel, and shrunk around the edges with a lancaster style shrinker. Then lots of hand contortions to make it conform to the body. Most of these tools you can now buy at horrible fright tools- or just use a hammer and dolly that's how I started before i made an english wheel (I had to make my own e wheel because it was before biker bla bla shows hit the air) but thats another story...
