When chaos turns darling

Extreme stresses eke out of my person in forms that seem surreal even to me. My therapist once commented that I was a marvel of self repair in the strangest yet most effective ways she had ever seen. She wrote a thesis on post traumatic stress disorders in women for her doctorate and used me as an anonymous example.
I am still oddly complimented by this.

So when I returned home to Atlanta after my Mother's funeral I had two weeks vacation immediately following (see other vacation curse stories!) I wasn't sure what to do. I ripped some of the house apart but I found this vaguely unsatisfying. I tried to work on my master plan but was having difficulty with projects that required big picture thinking. I needed something small and complex to put my hands in.
I have been a fan of Munnys since they came out a few years back. Basically they are do-it-yourself action figures and it seemed suddenly this was the time to explore that medium. A pristine seven inch Munny came via UPS and I removed it from the box with all speed and ran my fingers over the smooth white vinyl.
Somehow this action prompted a rush of inspiration and I immediately googled an image source.
Kali - the great destroyer's image was surprisingly easy to find but a serious bitch to recreate.

I think I feel a little better now.
