FULL VIEW PLEASE!
This is a triumph. I'm making a note here "Huge Success".
This is the Companion Cube as made famous by Portal, which quickly became more famous then the game itself. I hope you guys like it.
The cube itself is made from Bright aluminum and pink Anodised aluminum heart inlays on every side. The hearts were NOT painted on there, the rings were anodised and already colored and I wove them into the chain by hand.
It is a japanese 8-2 cube weave of course. This is a SOLID cube and is chainmail all the way through because I thought that if I was going to make this I may as well make it a pure poject. People keep asking me if it is stuffed with something which is annoying.
It took somewhere around 12,000 rings to make this and it weighs just over a pound. That is somewehere around 24,000 twists of my pliers and somewhere around 75 hours of work. I lost track of how much I put into this thing. I actually ran out of metal or I would have made it a little larger and more detailed.
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for this bad boy at Califur since it is going on tour there with it's new owner.
I will be posting more pictures of this and the WIP over the next few weeks so keep your eyes on my gallery.

And about 12 bunches to your face during making it ^_^ Our illicit love child is safe and sound in it's new home. People at work LOVED it, even my boss, who had no clue what it was thought it was the neatest thing she's seen in a long time. For anyone wantin to see it, I'll be carryin it around Cali-Fur :D It'll also be at EmeraldSage's shared art table along with some other of Loopy's goods and micro-flyers™! Also, on a side note, Ferality, I would SOOOOOOOOOOOO love if you came by to see it! I LOVED your suit and act at FC '08 and would die to get a photo of you and my Cube!!
Look at me still talking when there's Science to do,
When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you,
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive
And believe me I am still alive,
I'm doing Science and I'm still alive,
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive,
While you're dying I'll be still alive,
And when you're dead I will be still alive...
Portal rules all.
