medals and is the current President of BAMS. |

A plea from the USA - HELP!
James Malone Beach is an art teacher and educator in Minnesota, USA,
and produced this medal a couple of years ago - the dangerously spiky
medal is a galvano, quite brittle and fragile despite its apparent solidity.
How do you handle such an uncomfortable work? With chain mail gloves -
the flags are of the countries with which the US has less than satisfactory
and peaceful international relations
