Burned Out.

Finals week is well underway, which would explain why my attempts at outfit posts have been thwarted. 

Anywhooo, here's a lil' sumfin sumfin that I've been working on for my 3D class.

It seriously took me over 6 hours. I blame all of the miniatures!

 The project is based on the works by American assemblage sculptor Joseph Cornell.

I chose the rather strange and morbid theme of Spontaneous Human Combustion.

 Materials were sourced from all of my favorite thrift haunts as well as my junky craft stash.

I admit the chair looks a little wonky, but I was getting really tired and apathetic.

 I made the vase from a plastic cap I stole from one of my little sister's bottles of body mist.

Wrapped in hemp and sitting atop a periwinkle button, its flowers are beads and feathers from my collection of crafting nonsense. I knew there was I reason why I hoard knickknacks.

 Barbie's limbs were sliced off a la Dexter and charred over an open flame. Speaking of flames, I almost set my family's kitchen on fire creating my "charred remains." We won't discuss that I was standing right next to the sink. 

(I was too captivated by the leaping flames, does this make me a pyro?!)

Though I chose this topic for it morbidity and potential for controversy, I began to relate to my charred specimen. 

It has been a rough semester, both academically and personally.

However, I've done my best to maintain my positive outlook.

I hope my placing of her charred limbs reflect that.

The madness of this semester will officially be over tomorrow at noon!

Until next time, ♥.
