Outdoor Adornment [9/17]

So I was recently given an assignment:  to create an "outdoor adornment."

At first I was completely confused.  I didn't know what I wanted to do because I had never even considered outdoor adornment/jewelry before... plus my teacher had criticized my paper crane earrings, calling them "unoriginal."  :(

After about 9 hours of work and much confusion, I came up with THIS:


right next to a red truck!  haha, just my luck..
I'm calling it "The Gory Wind Chime"  just because I was told so many times that's what it looks like :)   It took a long time and was a lot of work.. I took apart a fan & spray painted the grill black, cut out styrofoam pieces and painted them different shades of red and then attached it all together with monofilament wire.

To be honest, I'm not too too crazy about this.
I appreciate that it's very different than my normal works, but right now it's just sitting in my kitchen closet and feels like a waste :x  I think I'm going to hang it up on Halloween, though :D

Mo' mo' mo' to come, as always.
(:

  1. Interesting. And curious. I'd like to see it in real time. Did you turn it in as your assignment? If so, what did your prof say? Inquiring minds.
