My Cute Little Candy World

A couple of my wildest and sweetest imaginations (with a little childhood fantasy), are nothing real but sleeping in Hansel and Gretel's candy house and immersing in Jack & the Beanstalk’s gigantism metaphor. It's like looking big yet everything is perceived so small in reality. Well, some kind of irregularities here and I think I'm spouting some kind of out-of-space language. You are more than welcome to ignore this insanity here.

Taking inspiration from the 2 fables above (with a little touch of my twisted fantasy), I managed to mount my WIP watercan into a frame and build a box behind. Though it seems like my theory is a little off, I was actually keeping in mind to make the candy land a pretty one while building this up. Soooo... it turned out that my insanity has ended up something whimsical!!! Instead of a beanstalk, I used cotton candy as the bubbly land for the cute little candy house, which is up above this gigantic watering can. You will need to climb up from the floral cloud, up towards the mouth of the watering can, cross the key bridges and walk towards the candy house. A Sugar Godfather awaits you with lots of cotton candy and sweets… 

An assemblage art piece finally all done up, featuring in today's Graphic 45's blogpost!!! I hereby welcome you to enter into into my little candy world...

Some Little Snowy Fairies Waltzing this Holiday

Alright scrapping peeps, for today on Graphic 45 blog post, I've this cute little ensemble of faires for you, really to waltz away for this Holiday!!!

Totally inspired from the Disney's movie Frozen, I made these snowy fairies out from clothespin pegs... Frozen is probably every child's favourite movie till date, so is my niece... She is a BIG fan of Frozen and she loves these fairies deeply. I've seen a lot of dolly peg projects and they are so adorable, part of it also came from my fellow Graphic 45 teammie, Nichola Battilana. Can't help it and wanted to make something cute!!!

The process in making them is somewhat challenging as I've to use papers for this assignment and it has to be handmade ornaments. I'd have to factor in whether this project can be translated into a tutorial... After giving some deep thoughts about it, I find creating rosettes skirts as one of the easier method... And it SOooo happen that Nutcracker Sweet has this lovely Snowflake Waltz paper that fits into the theme I want!!! As the scene of Elsa stomping her foot on the icy ground and a huge snowflake appeared as she sang "Let It Go" in Frozen came to my mind and that's where I get the inspiration in creating these snowflakes stands for these fairies. The stands are entirely made from those plastic saucers I've for my mixed media projects and classes.

SO here am I, presenting these little cuties to all of you!!! I hope you will enjoy this little performance by them. Follow HERE for the tutorial.

And Happy Holidays!!!
