IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The classic "child eating spaghetti" scene.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: I created this image 
COMPLETELY by hand, because I am now running Win NT, and haven't 
found a Windows-based modeller I like (waiting for Moray for Win
with baited breath!).  The head, hands, body, spaghetti, and 
plate are all blobs.  I spent many hours moving blob components
and doing test renders, and the spaghetti gave me fits.  The 
spaghetti is basically a noodle texture (made using "marble") 
with an overlaid "bozo" spaghetti sauce.  The hair and the eye-
brows are image-mapped (as are the wall and tablecloth).
