So I have decided I really like the idea of creating giant sweets for my final piece, after talking with my piers I agreed that this would give just as great effect as creating a 'sweet shop' but would be much easier in the time frame and It would have a more personal touch. As I work through my FMP I have to remind myself of my starting point which is childhood memories. Going back to my very first influence 'Charlie and the chocolate factory, and the edible garden' this means that I can relate my work to my own memories rather then generic ideas of a Victorian sweet shop.
I still plan to incorporate the senses into my work, I am able to have fun with this project!
Making:
I used mod rock around a cheap football to mould the shape of the lollipop, I did each side separate and then attached together with more mod rock, making a band around the middle to give a realistic shape.
Once dry I then Mixed up some Red acrylic paint and latex to give a shiny and realistic colour.
After this I plan to varnish the lollipop to give it a glossy finnish
