This here's the monocle I made for my steampunk costume. Its mostly made from sheet brass and copper, partly lined with felt for comfort. The bulk of the eyepiece itself is an old camera lens. The rivets are just flat-head brass nails. There's a yellow LED behind the lens, which is run by the battery on the leather strap. Had to make a battery pack for the specific type of battery, which had to include a resistor so the LED wouldn't burn out. feh. There's one smaller strap with a tiny buckle that runs over the top of the head to connect to the strap at the back of the head. I've found this keeps a lot of the weight of the monocle off my cheek.
I see I'm not the only one to think to make a monocle from an old camera lens. ^_Q
And don't worry, the one we are working on looks very different, more leather, less metal, and doesn't glow. Very neat effect, by the way. And excellent color choice for the light.

I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

Some people think the earth is flat. That doesn't mean the world is flat - it just means those people are idiots.
