Kinetic, welded, recycled steel, 72" by 48" by 48", copyright 1999 Mane Event is made from eight fifty- five gallon drums, two door knobs, three bicycle sprockets, two garden rakes, spring steel whiskers, garden tiller teeth, oil cart wheels, five screen door pullies, a large pipe flange bolted to a diamond plate and truck tire rim base. All of the color is original to the materials chosen. It was originally conceived as a mail box that would open it's mouth and extend it's tongue to receive the mail. Things got a little carried away though, so I decided instead to mount it on a base that could easily be wheeled around the yard. The lower jaw is hinged and when pulled down, opens to extend a big pink tongue in a decidedly licking fashion. When it is raised, the tongue automatically retracts in like style, and the mouth is held shut with a magnetic catch.
