Stick Boy and Match Girl (suggestions needed!)

At the moment I am trying to finish off my research which is going quite well I feel, I plan to look into more artist that deal with discomfort as I experiment with materials.

List of materials: red wax (used for sealing envelopes) I though it would work well with the victorian theme. Wire Wool, that stuff makes me feel ill it's so horrible. Cut hair ( the stuff you get on the floor in hairdressers) I worked with it last year and it prickles and itches. Coarse wool and wool in general, I can't wear wool gloves especially if my nails are short. Cheapo velvet.

I want to find out what makes everyone else cringe, I think it will help the final outcome. So leave me your suggestions in the comments box.

The video clip is Vincent Price reading Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. Vincent Price had the best voice on the planet.

ahhhahhahahha!!! I Love Vincent Price! aw his gammy eye makes him like a loveable rouge, but he is the b-movie benchmark of excelence nonetheless. bit after the punch but my ultimate cringe is the feeling of material being pulled out of your teeth, no idea why but even thinking about it puts a shiver up my spine.
