How to Choose your Object

This is the tricky part: you need to decide on an object whose image is worth as much or more to you as the physical object. Of course the drawings are worth different things to different people; that's why this is fun.

If you want to give me something that has NO value, like that old piece of gum you've been working on all day, that's cool. You'll end up with a carefully rendered drawing of a piece of chewed up gum.

I suggest that you might want to choose something with sentimental value that you have no use for but have difficulty parting with. Maybe Gramma's chipped tea cup or the rubber bands from your last set of braces. The NKOTB shirt you wore when you had your first kiss. Your ex boyfriend's apartment key.

I will accept almost anything for this project. Here are the inevitable restrictions:
No living things
Nothing perishable or hazardous
Nothing over 20 lbs or bigger than a microwave

You might think you can shock me with something naughty or gross. You don't know me very well. Also, I work in a hospital so I am becoming less shock-able by the day. Just remember: you don't get it back.
