Monocle 2

Description

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 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.
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.
The filigree work was done with nails that I filed to various shapes and used chisel-like from the opposite side of the metal.
