Steampunk Goggles made from stuff around my house

Thanks to a tutorial I found on
http://www.threadbanger.com/episode/iST_20080826

These Steampunk goggles were made from random objects around my house. An old leather purse for the strap and the leather. A neck pillow for the wooly rims. Various spools and nuts and bolts and some hot glue and you have a pair of goggles.
I had the dragon eye leftover from a puppet project. Once I got into "steampunk mode" I began seeing all kinds of useful ways to recycle and re use the most ordinary objects. Gatorade lids where lenses, the clip from a pen became an antenna, a plate hanger became...............well , not really sure what it's function is but it's neccessary....like your appendix.
