Here you see the comet, I envisioned space as a river of stars, flowing from the mouth of a fish, the source of all life. You can see the back of the formica pages in this view, when it's sanded and polished a bit it takes on a nice warm glow.

Because of the layers of brass, I wasn't worried about having rivets show through to the back of the page. So I was able to use the formica in a single layer.
