In this project we had to take something small, like
something that would fit in your hand, and make it into something larger. So I
picked a Q-tip because it was something small that everyone owns; plus it doesn’t
hurt that I knew I would have the materials to make this since I recycle. I
used a wrapping paper roll as the middle and empty water bottles as the ends. I then used un-rolled cotton balls to make the
cotton ends. I also used two different shades of blues that I had left over to
make the blue of the middle.
A Q-tip would be kinda of boring to look at so I decided to
do something different by using the idea of cleaning out your ears and losing
your marble. Losing you marbles is a metaphor
for some going insane. I wanted the ends to look dirty along with this. I wanted
it to appear like the ears have not been cleaned in a while. So I put marbles
on the ends and melted yellow candles on top so it looked like ear wax. I accidently
set the cotton balls on fire while melting the candles but it made a cool dirty
affect so I then set spots on fire to continue that look.
I feel like my concept of someone cleaning out their ears
and losing their marbles was accomplished. The Q-tip looked real and was to
scale. I am very proud of how it turned out.
