crochet sculpture

Just finished a fairly large crochet sculpture for the Chain Letter show, it was my first finished piece using this medium so I wasn't quite sure if it would come out the way I envisioned.  Overall I am fairly happy with it, although in retrospect I would have probably done the base a bit differently.  Here are a few pictures of it in process with the finished piece at the bottom.

Working on the armature - this was a bit of a challenge, but I finally ended up with refrigerator tubing (strong and flexible) surrounded by foam pipe insulation, wrapped with good old duct tape:
