Acrylic eyes for eyes (on the left) for shoulder joints (in the middle) and the neck joint (on the right).
I used 6mm eyes for the eyes, and also for the shoulder joints. For the shoulder joints, see if you can find eyes with the plastic collar, as shown above. Although they are harder to push over the post, I think they will be more durable.
For the neck joint, use an 8mm eye.

We made a man-bag version of our Daily Duffle pattern with Parson Gray's Shaman line. Read all about it here!
While many know John Sinclair as the White Panther firebrand who stoked the MC5’s insurrectionary manifesto, or drug bust victim released after John Lennon’s high-profile intercession, his roots stretch back to jazz and the beats, as writer, avant-garde champion and poet. Sinclair’s large legend allows him to travel the world, collaborating with like-minded souls; a living embodiment of the original free spirit that fought to emancipate a generation, one of the few left still flying the freak flag as high as he can hoist it.
Since the early 90s, Sinclair has released albums of his poetry, but Beatnik Youth is the high-profile statement he’s been meant to make all his life. This poorly served generation needs it: that militant energy which released the bats in the 60s is crucially booted into the 21st Century in a riotous celebration of personal freedom, cultural trailblazers and, frankly, marijuana.
Sinclair’s core cohorts are producer-bassist Youth and The Dirty Strangers’ singer-guitarist Alan Clayton (plus engineer-keyboardist Michael Rendall). Different tracks also feature Howard Marks, Zodiac Mindwarp, Mark Stewart, Primal Scream, singer Angie Brown and one Beef Pilchards. Between insidious soul choruses over diverse backdrops, Sinclair barks, growls, rails, coos and guffaws with a roaring animated passion undimmed by his 70-plus years. Moods straddle the smokily atmospheric (Testify, Sitartha), balls-out rockers (Ain’t Nobody’s Business, 1965-composed doper anthem Good Stuff) or free-form cinematic (Brilliant Corners homaging Kerouac, Ginsberg and Burroughs). Everybody Needs Somebody’s motorik carries Sinclair’s infamous (Thelonious) Monk In Orbit poem, while the Primals-driven Culture-Cide (hijacked from Youth’s recent Mark Stewart sessions) becomes a weed-for-all riot with Howard Marks gleefully piling in. That Old Man is a spirits-lifting reflection on growing old disgracefully, concluding that this old man is “still alive and kicking”. A rare delight all round.

Work to round seven on the body, then insert the shoulder posts into the body between rounds four and five. The hardest part of making this doll is pushing the collars down on the shoulder posts inside this tiny body. Persevere! It can be done! Push hard and push the collar down as far as it will go. You want a tight fit.
This has got to be the best DOF shot I ever done!! Just found this one.
No photoshop, I left in all the dust and noise (grain).
Judging by the grain it must be ASA 400, Camera: Minolta SRT-101, Focal length: either 58mm or 116mm.
I just took a break and came back. Now thinking this had to be an ASA 400 film and I was using the Rokker-X MC lens wide open at f/1.4 Only a fast lens lens like that with a fast film could do this!!
Now those days (photo taken 1978) I did all my own darkroom work, (as this) but there is no way you could create this type of DOF in a darkroom (I wish I could have, I'd be famous!! ;-) ).
