If ...contraption

What famous contraption was made of lead, ivory, wire, wood, bone, and human & animal teeth? George Washington, father of our country, might have an idea...
~~if only he could wrap his head around the answer.

  2. Eegads! This scares the hell out of me! On closer inspection, I really like all the silly stuff making up his dentures – especially the Golden Gate bridge. Haha! Great contrast in styles too - as is your signature. All that hard-edge hardware contrasts nicely with George's cotton candy hair. Really nice work, Rick.

    (I must go brush my teeth now.)

  7. I read George actually paid his slaves to get their teeth pulled for his dentures. Yuck. Some "father"! Trying to look past my dentist phobia, this is a great illustration. I think I'll go brush my teeth too.
