Capt Cyke : Mecha Monocle

Happy Halloween!!!

As Capt Cyke has only one good eye, the other eye need to be mechanically enhance for better vision and focus.

I looked around the house for something I could modify into a monocle. And, I understand why they say the best inspiration comes from 'toilet' time.
I sprayed the plastic detergent nozzle with copper spray paint.

About fastening it, I went to the hardware store and got this copper looking metal 'band' thing, where you can screw it to tighten and to loosen.

I made up my own eye patch pattern to suit the size of my monocle base. Roughly sketched it up on a paper and traced it unto the reverse side of some fake leather scraps from a furniture refurbishing store.

Below, a picture of a couple of the basic materials I used to spruce up the mecha monocle.
I cut a smaller round hole in the eye patch and then cut flaps towards the outer ring. I slotted the eye patch through the plastic nozzle and fitted the metal band in. Here you can see the copper color is shaded and toned down by a gold colored marker, to give it some rustic look.I attached the D-rings to the other 3 flaps on the eye patch and tied some ribbon to hold it around my head. For 2 of those flaps, I used metal hooks as clip-ons from the ribbon.The Mecha-monocle!!!Capt. Cyke in civilian clothing and her 'EYE'!!!
