Impossible circle

This piece utilizes a twist that doesn't really work although it was the first piece I riveted and the rivets looked good so I decided to continue with them.



This is the next sample with the rivets, this one doesn't twist up it is just a simple flat piece which made it look much nicer and  is easier to put together.

These 2 drawings (this one and below) are of a full circle riveted together, after mulling over this for a while I have decided that it will be very difficult and time consuming to put this together if I where to make it and time isn't something I have.

In the end I have decided that I will construct it like this, with either an equal or odd number of pieces riveted together.

Even more frosty goodness.

Here is a continuation of images from the freezing frog, these taken the day after, the ice had built up even more into much more interesting and intricate structures.
