Worst. Christ. Ever.
by bugger

Or best ever?? I can't decide!

<link> (nice dress, dude)

"Infinite Hope" is my biggest project to date! It is a sculpture I made primarily of wood, foam and crystals. Through research, I learned that Jesus was 5'3' tall (which made him actually a tall Jewish man at that time). I used cooper tubing to make his 5'3'' skeleton and then built from there. After sealing the sculpture, I utilized a metallic paint to give Jesus a metal look (thus avoiding the weight of a metal sculpture- while achieving the look I desired). The actual sculpting portion of this work took 4 1/2 months to complete. I then spent the past 10 months encrusting Jesus with almost 250,000 Swarovski crystals (four different types of Swarovski crystals were used). To me the brilliance of the crystalized Jesus symbolizes all
of the hope religion and my faith bring to me.

But he shines the brightest light of any, I bet!

(OK, maybe no so much happy, but definitely shiney.)

And the ladies wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with him out on the town. Jesus as fashion accessory...the ultimate gift for the gal who has everything.

Shiny Jesus - that's a new one

If it gives him peace of mind, great. Otherwise...

Let's just say that I discovered that someone I was living with was Crazy Glue-ing skulls with Swarowski crystals. The next thing you would see is smoke cuz I'd be gone.

I thought it worked, although the nails should have been through the wrists.

What's wrong with be-dazzling a skull? I might do it if I could afford Swarovski crystals - which I can't. As it is my skull - Juan - simply holds my Aussie bush hat...because I will not bedazzle him with cheap acrylic faux gems. How tacky!
