    I have been following this thread and want to direct attention to
    the work of Yas Tanaka. The heir to six generations of Tanaka family
    metalwork, Yas creates insects and other little critters in a unique
    art form called Jizai (Japanese for "articulation") In this style,
    insects, crabs and crustaceans are painstakingly fabricated in
    silver, with lifelike accuracy and articulated movement at every
    joint. The work is quite astounding, some with dozens of individual
    moving parts, taking hundreds of hours to complete. Yas is senior
    instructor at the Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts. His work was
    featured on the Academy's brochure as well as in a one man show at
    the Academy in 2004. Yas's work can be seen at
