About this Style
--- Mercury was originally used in curing felt used in some hats, making it impossible for hatters to avoid inhaling the fumes given off during the hat making process. Because of this, many hatters suffered from mercury poisoning causing neurological damage. Thus the phrase, "mad as a hatter," was born

I kept going back and forth of whether I wanted more bones or gears. So I decided to have a bit of both. It has a bit of a mad hatter look though, doesn't it?
