I've yet to wear these in public yet, since I've been working on my Steam persona and gathering pieces for my outfit - (and also waiting for a seamstress to open up commissions for the pieces I cannot make myself), so I ordered a pair of welding goggles off of Amazon and dog a copper leaf pen to it.

I sanded down the backs of some Caduceus buttons and epoxied them on - my character is a medic for some airship pirates.

This was the result:

I may change out the elastic strap for leather, though that'll take some tinkering.

These are for a friend.

I just got the pair I'm going to be modding.
They're an actual antique pair of goggles, a dark brown resin but I was thinking of painting them. I'm still not sure about that. I do know I'm going to be replacing all the elastic with cream ribbons with large bows whereever they connect.
This is for the steampunk lolita outfit I'm working on, I think it needs more lolita and more steampunk.
