+So, for no apparent reason, I one day decided it would be interesting to start seeing what different organic objects would look like charcoalized. Here is a collection of ones which turned out interesting.

+{{image(src="apple.jpg", caption="Charcoalized apple showing a clear silhouette and shape of an apple but with blistered and flaking skin")}}
+
+I think the garlic was my favourite of all. Though the structure did not hold up well at all, the cloves inside developed this iridescent colour akin to an oil spill or oxidation on metals

+As promised here is the cube.
+
+{{image(src="cube.jpg", caption="A near cube made entirely out of QTips that is 10x10x11 (-2) in size. No glue added")}}
+
+You might wonder how to construct such an object yourself. 
+
+What ended up working for me was laying out a bottom row of QTips with a width just slightly longer than the length of the QTips' shaft.
+
+{{image(src="step.jpg", caption="A bottom layer of QTips showing the width compared to the shaft length of a QTip")}}
+
+Continue alternating the direction in which you align the QTips until you have stacked enough layers to be slightly higher than the length of the QTips' shaft.
+
+It is very important that the grid is aligned well at this point, as you will begin inserting QTips downward through each opening in the formed grid.
+
+I started with the 4 outer corners, then filled the outer edges, then filled the center. 
+
+If all goes well, you will have a lovely cube which is fairly sturdy.
