As you can see below, you can wear it as an eye-patch, necklace, bracelet, ring, and just about any way you can think of [image from Hint Mag].
The new issue #8 of bi-annual black & white art magazine Lid features four alternative striking covers: Madonna by Marina Schiano, REM’s Michael Stipe by Jorg Steinmetz, Michelle Obama by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, and Brigid Berlin by Brigid Berlin. And of course the Madonna image is not new.
