    This month's Challenge is a Animal Brooch . It had to be an animal we had not made before, and it had to be small enough to be worn as a brooch.

    Kipling used copper and epoxy to make a loon brooch. While Andrew made a wire frame silhouette of a wolf with scrolls inside out of a coat hanger.

    As now tradition, we talk about our shop woes and wonders and share an esoteric eggle about our favorite chores.
