Steampunk accessories.

I made a pair of goggles and A monocle unit today.  I'm pretty proud. It's my first attempt at any kind of gear like this.  I want to make a couple of adjustments to the goggles so they look a little more like antiqued metal around the rims.  but other than that I'm fairly happy with the outcome.  More updates of course in the near future.  I have a little bit of sewing to do on the vest to fix the leather strips at the bottom.  Then I have to figure out what I want to trim all the edges with. hmmm.

Working it up

So I've started this evil project.  It started with wanting to do a photo shoot all steampunk.. Then I realize, well, there isnt very much in the way of available costuming.  So In a moment of stupor I decided I would make things.  Half way through this goddamned vest I remembered that I hated to sew.
Anyway.
I want to put more intricate fun patterns with the gold/bronze ink.  I want to reinforce the leather and brass strips at the bottom and I want to put trim around all the edges as they are still just unfinished.  But its a start.  My fingers hate me and I'm getting angry with it. But Imma show it who is boss.

Take that fucker.

Vanity.
