Absinthe needle

I am not very good at art and I was not able to make the need match up to the spoon or merge the picture together. I am sorry but I simply don't know how. My picture is the two end of a needle with an absinthe spoon replacing the middle. I used an absinthe spoon because the thought of the alcohol attracted me, and the effects of the drug sounded like a medication.

In the baroque era, absinthe was a popular spirit among the higher class. the alcohol concentrate is as high as 70-80%. Fancy folk would use the spoons to put a code pf sugar in it, dip it inside the tea, and light the sugar for fire before putting it back in. Their are tales of people having hallucinations while consuming the spirit, for a time it was illegal in the U.S. even after prohibition. After scientists deemed it safe it was made legal again but is still lethal is drank straight. 

The needle represents how this drink could kill you. Or how you could kill yourself with the drug. They inject this poison into themselves and enjoy it. Absinthe was accredited with killing quite a few of the drink's consumers. It is said they went mad and killed themselves. Theres even a rumor that Ernest Hemingway drank the poison himself a few too many times until one day he tries to scratch an itch on the back of his head with a shotgun. That is what gives the two pictures merged into one such meaning.
