Stabbity Death >:(

Thorax and butt-stick thingy (for lack of a tech. term) of my wasp, along w/ a scrapped stinger idea.

That's how I'm feeling about my cardboard project, or at least how I felt about it on Tuesday.

Despite working on it diligently during the class period, I made no actual physical progress. I cut, I glued, I fiddled around, I cursed, and cut and glued some more. Then, I restrained myself from setting it all aflame. It's part of my process....Honest....

I realized that I needed a break, so opted not to stay after class and work on it. I needed to get some new perspective.

I spent most of the rest of Tuesday and Wednesday considering how to go about finishing my giant wasp (again with much cursing and wishing death upon it), but I seem to have come up with some new ideas and have decided to toss my original plan of having it standing in place of having the wasp posed as if it were dead. This conquers the major hurdles of balancing the piece, and though I had been pretty set on having the wasp stand, I think it will still look impressive lying on its side.

I guess we'll see! (Glue-covered fingers crossed!)
