    This month's Challenge is to make an art piece with a lighthouse in it.

    Andrew made lots of metal scrolls from past work and made them into a crashing ocean that seems to threaten two small metal people in the piece. Kipling used copper to create a cliff scene with a lighthouse high on a hill and an epoxy sea below.

    This month we talk about our least favorite part of these challenges. Our esoteric eggel gets us talking about our muppets.
