The deMeng side of things

So this would be the deMeng part of the class. I did have people asking how I got so far with both the box and pendant. To be honest, I didn't. I cheated. I had a deMeng class previously and got about half way through my "Tarot Card Box". After making the pendant one day Erin and I went back our to our room where my Tarot Box looked at me and said (No really it did) "Hey dude. That thing you made today, you made that for me didn't you? Come on, it's mine isn't it? It belongs to me! It's....My precious...." You can't argue with that kind of crazy talk, especially when it comes from a box. It did come from a deMeng class after all. So it's only cheating a little. So I took the last day of the Boxed in, Drawn out class and finished the box and tweaking it so the pendant really settled in there nicely. This is what I ended up with. It started life as two arms of a chandelier, some heavy nails (same as on the pendant), a vacuum vent of some kind, a antique key hole face plate and old plastic brio screws. Enter Mr. Jewlers saw and we have a holy evil box from... well some place bad. What Tarot Card is it? Pffffftt, you tell me. El Diablo? Death? Naaaa, clearly it's the Queen of Hearts. What?

Boo

So here we are again. Two weeks past. Halloween come and gone. I love Halloween. As you can see, we love carving pumpkins. The last picture is from My Lo Bue / deMeng class. It's the Keith side of things. I'll show you my deMeng part later. ;) This was another great class. Michael and Keith even learning things from each other. Fun to watch that interaction. I even cheated and used my box from a previous class of Michaels. I was able to finish it up to a level I was much more happy with.

Edit: I wanted to come back to this post and add a bit more about what the heck this thing is. I am very happy with this over all project. The sum of both objects coming together really worked for me. The pendant started as an old =used= CO2 cartridge, two large (Railroad) nails, an old key, a kitchen plant hook thingy and a la-cheep-O Danzig pendant from back in 1989 or some such year plus a yards (ish) worth of rebar wire. I love how solid this thing is. It's a little heavy too. It feels great in your hands. I also loved the contrast of Keith (No glue allowed) and Michael (Glue the world) in class. This part screams Keith. No glue here. All wire work and I am sure you could kill someone with it. Did I say that out loud? Oops...
