Draco Temporis up close...

Description

This is just an up-close view with a better angle of my newest dragon mask...I'm so proud of the tiny mechanical detail work I added to this one. :)

What's better than steampunk goggles? A Victorian steampunk monocle on one of my signature leather dragon masks. I've been working towards this design for a few weeks now...I'm considering it a personal triumph. "Draco Temporis"; dragon of time.

I'm especially proud of the antiqued brass assemblage of my own design (cobbled together from bits and pieces of various brass fittings), which fastens a double magnification loop (5x and 10X) to the side of the goggle cup. The arms may be adjusted to swing down, swing up and out of the way, or allow one loop at a time to be lowered. Those jeweler's loops come attached to a really ugly alligator clamp. I thought this looked much better...more "Victorian".

The mask is also decorated with an assortment of real antique brass clockwork parts.

I had a boatload of fun making this design. It's been knirping for attention in the back of my brain for so long...it was a relief to finally build it. :)

Available (until it is gone!) only here at my Etsy shop...just click the link: [link]

lol I need to go to my local Hobby Lobby and see if they have instructions on how to make masks from leather. Cause these are freaking awesome but sadly too expensive for me. ^^;
