DubbleBubblePede


This is the kind of package of bubble gum balls that you don't see much anymore. I knew I had to do something with it. A store we wandered into had a display of retro candies. Nice and colorful anyway.

Thanks!

I have a paralyzing fear of centipedes, but not this one! How fun!

p.s. I love the photo you submitted for the Gel Conference. I was expecting your head shot, not a cheese curl. You kill me.

SWEET!

ok, now how bout the candy buttons? have you done those yet? (with all this candy lately, maybe you're working up to a very sinister Easter Basket?)

Terry said...

Thanks all!

All that retro candy took me back to my childhood. Lotsa fun stuff.

Don't have any big candy shots planned, but you never know what might happen.

Kathy- the cool thing was that they mentioned the possibility of doing something like that before I could even bring it up! (GEL, I mean)

Boy, I feel old now that my favorite ball park candy as a kid is considered "vintage candy!"

Love the art though. Very whimsical & creative! :)

Oh, this is good, Terry! I love it! I'm also reminded of candy during my childhood.

I just went back through your whole archive and looked at everything. I have to tell you that you do a remarkably good job mixing humor and art, something that not a lot of people do very well.

I look forward to keeping tabs on your work! Very nice!

Aww, it's so beautiful! It reminds me of when my best friend and I used to walk to the liquor store on the corner to buy candy.

I've never wanted to eat a bug until now. Nice work!

Maybe some pixie sticks would be fun to use also.
