    Medallions: Use the shorter periods of CMT week to do the metal aluminum medallions.
    You should draw your initials, geometric and free-flowing designs, Chinese pictures and dragons, Greek money coins (with Greek heads of gods and heroes), and any other ideas you may have for the medallions.
    Remember that the whole idea is to make them 3-dimensional by pushing out one side, and flattening down the other. Your designs should 'push out' of the metal...not just be colored ink drawings on aluminum. Do you 'get it?'
    Be sure to work on a 'soft' magazine so you can get good depth in your metal.
    Color with sharpies or permanent markers; punch a hole in it and add string to hang the medallions.
