Light It Up!

I finally after 2 attempts to radioshack and 3 to Lowes -I kid you not. I finally managed to get my electricity part working: meaning the magic just began: I made little metal frames for all of my cards: cutting, folding and riveting all of it took half of forever :)
so now all of them have these little frames: which holds it. then I made this box which need to undergo major plastic surgery: but just to show the wiring etc:
 a top view and section view



 then I also spent a lot of time thinking of our last blog about the words, and what I want this vessel to mean to me; so instead of just random words I spent ALOT of time editing and making this cards which are meaningful and personal to me yet can be translated to many things: this one is about me- and how i cant keep secrets, i will have to reprint this cause it caught on fire- laser cutter #catching fire but just to put it out there; i can't keep secrets and I would only tell my boyfriend who wouldn't tell a soul (just because he can't be bothered)
 

this one is a countdown when I was still back home and counting the days down to leave to penn state and now i'm doing the exact opposite: 85 days 22 hours 10 minutes and 08 seconds of this moment till my flight home.
 
glowworm is a reminder: there was a point in my life when I was abroad 3 years ago somewhere and i was very tired of not-home ans my sister sent me a quote and she said "always be a glow worm and bring your own sunshine; for how can you be sad when you are glowing from your bum?" :D
here is a portrait of me on a portrait of me because I am self obsessed like that and here is one where Rohan (my boyfriend's) face was burnt from #catchingfire in the laser cutter
he normally looks better than that. he actually has a left face. or shall I say some face left?
