This month's Challenge is to use metal to create a bat decoration that includes hinges in the piece somewhere.

Kipling used repousse and chasing to form a bat out of copper adding a lever and spring to his piece to make an automatic opening action. Andrew made a metal bay with hinged wings, cuter and with brass brushing on the inside to reflex a hidden candle.

This month we talk about where we are and what our goals are as makers. Our esoteric eggel gets us talking about our favorite monsters.

This month's Challenge is to use metal to make a mirror into a piece of loon themed art.

No one wants the bad luck of breaking a mirror and this one has us both on edge.

Kipling used repousse and chasing to form a loon into a piece of copper adding cutouts to show the mirror underneath. Andrew made a thick frame for his mirror in order to reflex the forged metal waves while adding a polished loon on the mirror.

This month we talk about where we get inspiration and form our ideas and our esoteric eggel gets us talking about our favorite reality tv shows.
