Prepare a long needle for sculpting and a strong thread, make a knot. 
Insert the needle in the opening in the head (spot A), hide the knot in the hollow fibre, take the needle out in spot 0 on the neck. Make a very tiny stitch to fasten the thread. Make a short stitch, insert the needle into spot 0 and take it out in spot 1. Again, insert the needle into spot 2 and take it out in spot 0. Tighten the thread, help with the fingers to keep it in place. Make a short stitch and a knot. Repeat the tightening once more.
Repeat sculpting for the left eye socket. Spots #0-3-4-0. 
Hide the end.
