At the convention, a tradition is born!  Actually, it started two years ago at the convention in Ohio.  Frank Longmore and Elena Firme were showing each other how they made bends in cookie cutters, and before long they had partly bent up a 24" length of copper strip.  Frank brought it around to several other tinsmiths for their contributions.  Soon, the "cutter" as it was then called, had a lot of bends in it.  Frank looped it around and soldered it.  Stan Baker made a few final bends, and "viola" it looked sort of like a lamb.  (Well, that was one of several interpretations...).
