Eric, awesome job! If I'm understanding all the posts correctly, this could be a jigzaw puzzle, right? The image is just made up of lots of smaller, and not really connected, parts? That is sort of scary. Of course you could make it into a big (...) (22 years ago, 20-Dec-02, to lugnet.build.sculpture)
