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.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
