I wanted to get back into some repousse work and my son had just designed a wicked mempo and helm in art class. So with his help and drawings off to the shop I went. Couple days later here's the results. teeth and cresent through the eyes are brazed. Now to build the helm to put it on.

Artistically, it's very nice.

But please don't call that a menpo.

Other than the fact that it goes on the face, it really has nothing to do with menpo.

Somebody done fell out the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
