In my class just in time for October the spookiness season we were tasked with making a cut out of our fear made mainly out of black paper. At 1st I could not think of anything. that all change when I was at home that night. An idea of what to do hit me on my head. it missed me by a few inches. Have you ever seen a house centipede will if you have not here you go?



The centipede was about 4 in long and when it hit the ground it took off like a shot. So, make up my mind there that I would do centipedes for my shape of fear. Now that I had an idea, I needed to figure out how to represent it. what was it that mane them scary to me? It was their hair like legs. so, I decided to make them small. but the problem with that was the fact that the display cadent with big so I just thought out a crazy number of them to make. and the number was 42 (if you are new than you know). Ok now I had an idea and a design now the question was how would I cut out 42 little centipedes with super thin legs in only 2 weeks with also dealing with my other classes? lucky my teacher knew about a very useful tool that was new to campus this year. it was a laser cutter that could easily cut out 42 bugs quickly or so I thought. A lot of burnt paper, a new coolant, and 12 later I got all 42 cut out I even added in a big one with some eggs. I also just got done reading a book called famine that was about a person with anorexia. I felt like the context of my project really related with the book. what I did not tell the class because I was too scared is that my real fear is of becoming overweight. The bug represents infestation and overeating.
