Broken Glasses = NO ART

Well this is dumb.
Glasses have a few weak spots...this particular set of the Kenneth Cole line, its the springs/tension arms that go between the lense frame and the arms (that tuck over your ears).
First break was two years ago (they were two years old at the time), and the spring had snapped - not at all repairable...bought the last frame available (this model is no longer in production!!!!!) and supplemented the new arms to my current lense frame.
Second break, happened 3 weeks ago....the tension arm that hooks inside the spring, snapped about 1/3 up the arm...so I now have two paperclip stems acting as splints, wrapped up with electrical tape.

I can't do any art, cuz looking down = glasses dangling off my nose nearly 2" ...and don't ask me to do charcoal dust paintings at an upright position...that's just asking for a MESS.

SHINY NEW FRAMESZOMG! will be here in about 10 days....until then, I shall take my frustrations out in Mass Effect 3.

My apologies to those with commissions on the waiting list!
