The big rule- It has to be something that I probably already have in the house , or can be purchased cheaply. Please don't mention your ideas of what I can make it into or whatever. That's the fun part for me.
I'm going to do this a little different than usual. Mention your one (1) object idea (if you mention more than one, I'll only count the first mentioned). Monday evening I'll post all of them in a long list for people to vote on the following day.
I look forward to your ideas with interest!

Each time I see your bent objects I think of beads - glass beads for making jewelery. Cos this is what I would use for making sculptures. Wouldn't be as fun as using toothbrushes or combs, but at least it would be an unexpected girlish touch to your work ;)

A Sharpie pen! (not sure if it's been done before or not)
