Project 2. Mesh Mashup: Concept Generation
This weeks project is to create a minimum of ten pieces of remixed objects.
A Rose By Any Other Name - Bow and Rose Arrow Head
I decided to replace the arrowheads with roses. This was because I liked the idea of how a sharp and deadly weapon is made useless after adding a beautiful and fragile flower. While at the same time I was able to make the sharp and thorny roses become unthreatening by combining it with a weapon. So, I did this for the irony.

Tea Time - Bell Teacups
The bells are used as teacups because I have associated London with tea and the Big Ben since I was a kid. So, I used the bells to signify the bells ringing when it's tea time. Very stereotypical of me.

I've seen many fan dances in my life, and they have always fascinated me with their smooth movements. One of them is when the dancer has their two fans flapping slowly, almost as if in the middle of flight. So, I combined that flying motion with something known for their flight. And thus, the plane with fan wings came to be.

The Day of the Dead is a well known celebration of both life and death, a concept that I find very fun to draw. So, in order to symbolize that concept I combined a skull with some fresh roses.

The Dead Of Night - Moon Scythe
A scythe is normally associated with the grim reaper and death. Both of which are dark concepts to think about it. So, to keep with the dark and dreary theme, I replaced the curved scythe blade with the curved crescent moon.

Century - Growing Tree and Aging Solar System Within An Hourglass
Both trees and stars have a long lifespan that outlives humans. Two things which have no other connections are both tied together by time. So, to represent that I made it so that a tree and solar system are kept together within an hourglass.

Sharp Dresser - Shoes With Scissor Heels
I've only ever worn heels a handful of times and I've hated it every single time. I always ended with sharp pains and blisters on my feet. This prompted me to think about something sharp and mixing it with high heels. And that's how the Sharp Dresser came to be.

Iron Dragon - Dragon Sword
Ok, so, while I was doing this project I had Kung Fu Panda 2 playing in the background. This led to me hearing the movie say "a weapon, one that breathes fire and spits metal.", and long story short, I ended up making a sword with a dragon hilt. This is probably the weirdest reason for why I've made any of these concepts, but I honestly really liked how this ended up.

Sand Dollar Purse - Seashell Coin Purse
This is actually me kind of making fun of my mom's spending habits. I normally end up having to tell my mom how she doesn't need to buy a certain thing, so I thought the idea of her needing to clam up on her spending habits. And that's how this clam coin purse came to be.

The Lightning Rod - Storm Cloud Tree
Since it's well known that tall enough trees can, and have, attracted lighting to them during storms, I decided to step it up and just have it so that the tree itself produces the lightning through the clouds/leaves.
