                  Specimen #01104, 5/12/2000 
                  Wingspan: 3.5 inches (9 cm) 
                  Composition: Sterling silver wire, steel surgical 
                    blades 
                  Comments: One of my early pieces. Unfortunately, I 
                    melted the foot loops into oblivion during one of my early 
                    tests. At least I have these old pictures to show what it 
                    was like. Maybe someday I'll find some way to salvage it in 
                    a "redux" variation.
