Heh, better late than never :D
Actually I started this hobby quite randomly when a pack of self-adhesive #GooglyEyes fell into my hands, must have been about 2 years ago or so. Initially it was a bit of a self-therapeutic exercise of mindfulness and "unfocused naive exploration".
Then, I eventually brought it over to steemit, an now, here we are... 53 "Things With Eyes" and a 32nd #GooglyPrize later. You should join the fun! It's awesome!
It definitely sounds like fun. I'm a graduate student, so I feel like putting them on some of the analytical equipment that I use could be a lot of fun. haha
#GooglyEyes and weird analytical equipment... sounds like a good match ;)
