Description
For the first challenge of CTC 7, Chrysalis took the time to fashion a bunch of 7 pointed star mosaics using bits of clay and mashed up pieces of jewelry, ceramic, and other colorful objects. All of which are readily available materials on the island. The stars themselves are made out of precisely cut wooden blocks and painted over with red and blue dyes. Once finished, Chrysalis smashes up the aforementioned colored objects and pastes them on using dabbles of glue. On the surface, these are just vividly colored trinkets. But they symbolize something much greater to the contestants, the season, and mostly the game of CRAPthatscool as a whole.

First off, the star. itself. Being the theme of All Stars, Chrysalis thought a star would be the perfect object to represent the season. Inspired by the scales of a butterfly's wings, she decided that mosaics would add an interesting flair to the prize. But that's not all. There's seven seasons of CTC. And with each, new challenges, new victors, new dramas, new... All stars. Each ray of the star is color coded to match the colors of their corresponding seasonal logo. Blue for S1, Red for S2, Black for S3 and so on and so forth. To add a cherry on top, she made two different versions for each elimination. One having a light blue coloration and the letter H in the middle for the Hero team and one having a more sinister red coloration with the letter V for villains. The symbolism there is... Kinda obvious.

All in all, Chrysalis decided to mash up the themes of All Stars, the history of CTC, and the idea of Heroes and Villains into one concise and visually appealing prize that gets the spirit of the season across while still being nice suitable prizes that are also easy to make.
