Meet Charlie!

Charlie is a 'wacking stick' or 'peace stick'.

Within the past month I have noticed how short my temper has been. My personal life has been very emotionally draining and internship is extremely stressful- so I wanted to create something that represents my frustration with everything. Charlie is a branch (found outside); I wrapped her in yarn and fabric, then decorated with sparkly stuff, hair, and googly eyes.

The purpose of Charlie:

When I find myself frustrated with a friend, co-worker, lover, family member..... I imagine myself wacking sed person on the back of the head.

*Charlie was created for comedic relief* I would not actually go into the world physically hitting anyone that gets one my nerves* Charlie was created for comedic relief*
