Day 24

I have a vice.  I really love Jawbusters jaw breakers.  It was a bad thing when I found that the local Walgreen's carried them in their "retro" candy section.  For today's piece I wanted to create a piece made from the wrappers of the candy I so love.  


Previously, all the pieces I've made have been rings.  For this piece, it seemed logical to create a piece for the mouth.  This is a really funny object, and kitschy, but nonetheless it speaks to my addiction to the hard crunchy jawbreakers.
