One of the hardest parts of this build was getting the distinctive sloping cab front of the Western Maryland Challenger right. It was Nate Brill who inspired the use of the classic car roof piece.
Moon of Challenge by the Meiji artist Yoshitoshi.
From the lyrics which accompany the dance of the Lion of the East, Azuma Jishi, rendered into a shamisen classic (and later a shakuhachi classic) by Minezaki Koto:
From olden days
Men have spoken of him-
The lady-killer
Who goes east from the capital-
On his way, the very pine trees
Pine for him-
On Mt. Fuji's peak,
Snow white
Flowers-like his outfit
And speech, redolent of the Yoshiwara.
Tamed by the peony flowers
On your robes,
This lion takes flowers
From his wealth
Even his fiery temper
Is beloved.

You have to wonder these days what new cadets consider to be “fun.” That was the word many from the Class of 2018 used to describe the Zilinski Challenge Aug. 10 at Camp Buckner.
Squads were tested on physical strength and endurance throughout the challenge while graded on several soldier skills they’ve learned during Cadet Basic Training, like donning and sealing a protective mask, land navigation, assembling the radio and calling in for medical evacuation.
Somewhat a departure from previous Buckner challenges that used Zodiacs to get squads around a short course on Lake Popolopen, this time the squad had to low crawl across the beach and head first into the cold, murky water.
They also low crawled and swung through two obstacles at Marne, and completed three others at the Anzio Obstacle Course.
Perhaps the fun was at the Buckner Parade Field where legs buckled and bodies crumbled after a series of physical challenges. First, the Humvee push—about 300-400 meters across concrete and grass, assumably the best of both worlds. Then, imagine all that was left of the vehicle was one, huge tire. The squad had to push that back and forth another sizeable distance. Pushups, buddy carries, flutter kicks and pullups would follow before they were tested on assembling a swiss seat for rappelling.

There are five photos in this series so scroll to see the others to tell the challenge story. Still not quite sure what happened, maybe the dapple is older/has more seniority than the paint.

Members of Company H, 2nd Platoon, 4th Squad make it to the top of Mine Torne Hill to complete the Hyde Challenge. The Hyde Challenge tested the new cadet regiment on all their Cadet Basic Training skills in a squad-level competition Aug. 5-7. New cadets and their squad leaders were evaluated on individual and squad ability to shoot, move, communicate, survive and conduct nighttime operations. Among the tasks in this fully-tactical field environments, new cadets were tested on weapons assembly and functions checks; Soldier First Responder medical skills; land navigation; react to improvised explosive device scenario; and a marksmanship course. The final maneuver for the squads was a hike up Mine Torne Hill to the location where a memorial for fallen comrades was erected. The Hyde Challenge is named in honor of 1st Lt. Daniel Hyde, a Class of 2007 graduate, who was killed in action March 7, 2009, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

This was my entry into TotusMel's "Tatting is Not a Lost Art: The Challenge." (totusmel.etsy.com has more information about the contest.) The design was developed around a two-inch-wide medallion of intricate needle tatting creating by TotusMel for the challenge, which is featured prominently on the front of the hat. The ecru color of the medallion inspired this design in ivory, tan and dark brown, and I was going for a sort of antiqued sepia-tone look.
The hat is made from a 7-inch-diameter (including the brim) felt form for a turned-down brim style of mini top hat. I covered the form, and it is sewn entirely by hand, in a dark brown fabric with a design of tiny stars and even tinier dots.
The hat band is made from a dark brown satin ribbon with a wide-weave texture onto which I sewed two strips of ivory eyelet lace. On the front of the hat is a feather pad in rich dark brown, with the medallion sewn at center. Behind the medallion is a spray of eyelash feathers in champagne, with small iridescent beads on some of the stems.
At the center of the medallion is a clockwork adornment: a watch crystal into which I hand-set watch gears and cogs into resin.
The full birdcage veil is made from vintage Russian veiling that I acquired from a 60-year-old millinery store in New York that just closed its doors this year, so I doubt any more of this veiling exists anywhere. The diamond-net veiling is dark brown with light tan chenille dots. It was hand sewn into pleats to give fullness around the face and gathered into a double-bow at the back to give a nice amount of poof. The veil is held on with a hook and eye and is detatchable. On the inside, the hat is sewn to a hair comb and there are also elastic loops for bobby pin attachment.
After taking a good few shots of Pam (my co-worker) making goofy faces into the camera, she suddenly occurred to her that those photos might not be good to be shown around ... she asked me if I was going to show anyone the photos I didn't end up using for this challenge. Upon being told that I was going to delete them, this was her reaction ... sobbing and laughing with relief!
February Scavenge Challenge - #16. Express a strong emotion in a black-and-white portrait.

Loved this challenge! It was great fun trying to find something! In the end, I got this little copper container in a dépôt vente for 1€, so 1€ change!
Looking forward to seeing everyone else's "finds" when I get away from this steam-driven internet!
The Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild participated in the Robert Kaufman Kona Charm Challenge. We got the dark colourway. When describing what I was intending to do - I mean doesn't everyone take a charm square, cut it into 6 pieces and then sew them back together? One of my guild colleagues proceeded to tell me that "There's medication for that you know", which I just howled at, and so it became the name of this quilt.
The quilting is not yet finished, but I'm still hoping to have it done before we leave on vacation - very simple zigzags, so if I get a chance, shouldn't take too long to do. Finished quilt will be ~50"x60"
