Have you given any thought to doing the Puddle? Or maybe Still Life &
Street?

It could get expensive depending on what color you decide to use for
them (keep in mind that the Rahkshi will each come with ten hip-joints in
red, black, brown, blue, green, or white, so waiting a few months for them
to be released might be the best solution), but one of the most flexible
constructs that I've seen so far is my own Murasaki Tail:

Maybe to you, but I think the general feeling seems to be that seeing
"impossible" 3D constructs is cool regardless of how they're built.

Isn't math the primary focus of the stuff you've worked on? I'd think
geometric abstracts should be right up your alley.
