day twenty: 87

'what can you do with a candle? try using the drips from a lit candle to make an image, or use an unlit one to draw on a porous surface, then make the image appear with watercolor or ink. Or, as always, feel free to experiment.'

my first attempt was horrible - small shell, big body and it wasn't as raised up as i wanted it to be. so i tried again and kept it smaller and got what i wanted. i left the eyes off because i was afraid i was going to screw it up. i'm hoping if i let it dry long enough i can peel the paper off and somehow display it in my house - any ideas?!
