journal exercise transformation

I have been thinking of some ideas for this upcoming project.
here are three ideas and the journal exercise for each
1. list the words that best describe your project formally - color, shape, texture ect
2. list the words that describe original function or meaning, does the context (time and place) change its meaning or function?

Top Hat made from Tortillas
1. color would be an orange color from the corn tortillas, it would have the texture of hard corn tortillas, tortilla would be a fun medium because when you cook them with oil they are malleable until they dry out then they are brittle and hard. the tortillas would be formed into the shape of a top hat
2. tortillas are a traditional food that comes from Mexico and south America. they are used to wrap barritos or make a taco. a top hat is not traditionally a Mexican or South American attire. Top hats are something that is worn in a very formal setting and top hats are not normally worn anymore but more warn in the past. This could be contextual art that shows an image of western ways but with something that is traditionally not western.

Wig made from Gummy Bears
1. I have a choice with color here i could either do a multicolor wig or pick one color of gummy bear and go with that. it depends if i decide one color is better then the others. I dont think that i would do a full wig but more of a decorative head piece that goes over the hair. I would string the gummy bears with fishing line then i would attach them to something, maybe copper wire to form to the head.
2. gummy bears are pretty, pretty like jewelry, when they hit the light they can look like gems. why not make a pretty head piece out of them? well i can think of a couple reasons first reason would be gummy bears can melt and who in there right mind would want melted gummy bears in there hair?

Stilettos made from Cigarettes
1. the shoes would be made out of cigarettes glued together with mod podge glue. so they would be white and brown and would have the shape of a pair of high heels.
2. I think that this is by far my favorite idea. it could have many concepts. remember reading the article "Cigarettes and High Heels" I remember reading it but i would like to re-read it to get a better idea. I would like to incorporate some of the concepts of that article into the art work. also, I am a smoker right now so the concept could be something like look at what i could be buying for myself if i wasn't spending a gazillion dollars on smoking cigarettes or the fact that when i am dead from lung cancer what are high heels going to do for me. anyway there is so much that i could write for this one i would just have to see how it turns out and think about it when i am putting together the project.
