Hand Bent Brass Mesh (10in x 16in [25cm x 41cm]). I spotted this material when I was buying supplies for the Embossed Skull two days ago, which points up a bit of the reality of this project: I don't have a master plan for the skulls I am making. I have plenty of ideas written down and I have pre-scheduled a handful that involve other people, but for most I'm pretty much deciding what I'm going to do and buying supplies that day or at some point a day or two before; I am rarely prepared earlier than that.

Arranged DVDs. Thanks to my friend Erin (pictured) who is a manager at my favorite movie rental store Video Fan, for letting me come in and rearrange the shelves (and thanks to the owner Doug for not minding!). I grew up in the neighborhood where this store is located and have been renting from them since it opened (about 20 years ago)! Not only do they have a great selection, a friendly & knowledgeable staff, and take requests for what to stock (and actually follow through), but they give out free popcorn & tootsie rolls, and even dog biscuits to their furry customers (take that Netflix!). If you live in the area you really should support them!

Embossed Copper Sheet and Acrylic (9in x 11in [23cm x 28cm]). Thanks to my friend Jude who reminded me of this technique the other day. I had actually made a piece this way when I was in middle school: an image of an exploding volcano with a mirror in the lava! Sadly I believe it's long gone.
