I have a friend that recently lost an eye, and asked me to make a "badass" eyepatch. Apparently there is not a great deal of fashionable choices for eye patches. I made a couple shapes out of felt, and had him pick the one that would fit his face best. I made a form to match that shape out of polymer clay. Then I soaked the leather and let it dry over the clay form. While it was drying I made the gears out of green stuff using a silicon mold. I painted and distressed the gears. It doesn't show up well in the picture, but I brushed a light golden wash over the brown leather. I then attached the elastic and made it adjustable using an eye hook (sorry forgot to get a picture of that).
