Steampunk goggles

One of the kids wanted a pair of steampunk style goggles for a costume. So we grabbed mason jar lids, a blue plastic container lids, some scrap leather, threas and scrap pieces of rabbit fur we had and here is his creation. Forget rose colored glasses, go for the blue haze of steeampunk style :-)

Ostrich egg necklace

11 of us got together and decided to scramble an ostrich egg. 1 ostrich egg + 1 chicken egg fed 11 hungry people easily.Since I could not bring myself to just toss the shell of the ostrich egg I decided to make them the focal point of a few necklaces.Here are 2 of the necklaces that were made. Below is a picture of the ostich egg and the chicken egg in a 14" cast iron pan.
