Chris, is this what you pictured:
<http://www.funcollections.com/_borders/secondnature/opalodie.jpg>?
Or is this:
<http://www.funcollections.com/_borders/secondnature/oprah.jpg>?

Since Chuck obviously used one of the photos on that page as a model for
his drawing, he could probably use another one as well.  FWIW, I have the
second one as a stone figurine, and can probably post (or send privately)
a few digital pics from different angles, if it's helpful...

Oh, and the second one is actually bent at an angle (like a "<"), so we
could actually wrap it around the little black thing in the Cygwin logo
instead of the green "C".  Just a thought.
