Some of my pieces are built by connecting a series of duplicate parts to form a whole. I often receive odd materials from friends and family; neighbors leave resources on our front porch. These are apt challenges to my creativity. I used discarded aluminum playground rings as the vertebrae for a large snake. I also used copper rings to fabricate a rain chain. Several centipedes assembled using this method were sold to a woman with an affinity for these multi-limbed creatures. One included 20 large drapery rings and the other a series of tie racks laid end to end. The photo example I will include with this post was built with blocks from a miniature masonry toy set my sister-in-law was giving away. This Frankenstein like figurine is connected with 22 gauge jewelry wire. A ruler has been provided to facilitate an appreciation of the scale of the "bricks" in its composition.
