Chimeras!!

A chimera is a female, fire-breathing monster with a lion's head, goat's body, and serpent's tail (in Greek Mythology).
However, the chimera we're talking about now is simply a hybrid. It is a mixture of two embryos mostly animals but human embryos are also a thing. 
"Second, chimeras can arise when developing fraternal twins share a blood supply. This happens when the twins (who have different DNA) share a placenta and cells from their blood mix."
The ways it's been depicted are the Greek Mythology monster. Below are photos of what a Chimera can be:

Wire Sculptors

Wire Sculptors Elizabeth Berrien: So when I was trying to figure out the people to do this blog on, the cat wire sculpture caught my eye. Elizabeth Berrien was one of the biggest and leading people in the wire sculpture movement when it became big. Her sculptures can be found around the world in a lot of places like art galleries, museums and parks. " She was inspired by her tutor Kenneth Curran who, giving her a roll of wire said, ‘Here, kid, take this wire and mess with it,’ and this was a great lesson for her."

She also seems to put detail into her wire sculptures instead of making small and less detailed ones which I really like.  Derek Kinzett: So the difference between Derek and Elizabeth is that Elizabeth does animal sculptors and Derek does full body human sculptures which require a lot more wire and patience. The sculptures also are in poses and that means a lot of bending and yes there...
