copy of the email i just sent





Hey, I used the silver things and rolled them with film negatives. I have quite a bit of unused 35mm film to form flowers out of, but I'm still debating what to use as a stem... ideas? As far as the base coverings I was thinking of using BW prints of photos. These have a good resolution, so printing them out big should be easy. Again, just an idea, anything more creative would be great.

Flowers/ Film

I have 3 ideas to work w. 1 for each cube.
1) make flowers out of 35 mm film
2) make flowers out of the actual rolls
3) make flowers out of printed pictures

Does any one have old rolls that we can take apart? We need to go light on the $$ this time becuase we went way way over for the table. Lets try not to spend any $...It will be a challenge that will pay back. Ask all co-workers, friends and family for film.
The attached picture isnt what I was picturing exactly but it was the only pic I could find that was similar.

PAPER Flowers





Just some examples of paper flowers we can all make. I have the dimensions of small cubes approx. 10"x10"x10". So how are we going to go out with a bang?? I like the idea of black and white kinda like a play on "New Years Eve" but need to develop this more. Thoughts anyone?? It is our FINAL DISPLAY!!

Candy chairs so far


I've got the boquets down so you could have more inspiration for the chairs.  

table setting

The red fabric and frame could be use to cover the projector.



We'll have 2 runners as the placemats.  The fabric pictured here is folded in half...still have to cut it. I'm trying to make a boquet of loli popsto put in the silver votives but I think it would help if I had a foam block to stick them in. Does any one have those?

chairs





here's the picture of the chair. sorry its dark outside so you cant really see the colors. but its candy pink (baby pink) and sun yellow. apparently i found out that im not good painting with brushes.lol and as for the wicker chair, imma have to buy spray paint in another color coz white is hard to use, so what color spray paint should i get, green? imma decorate the chair probably tomorrow after work. il try to go home early.

larice, i think imma finish the chairs after all. but will not be able to decorate the wicker chair. i cant deliver it tonight but if anything, and if something goes wrong or i cant finish the chairs, ill give you a call tomorrow.

what centerpiece should we use? i was thinking of making that cupcake tree like the one picture i posted or if not, then maybe a large jar/vase in the middle with peppermint lollipops and the small pappermints audra have and then a bunch of smaller jars filled with whatever we can think of on the sides of the vase? im just brainstorming here since we dont have a centerpiece yet.
Licorice chandelier. Took 5 hours to complete and 1 330 container of licorice.
Dimensions: 11"w x 16"t




Painted chair: before

After....but to be continued..

colors for candy

hi guys..

any luck with the different color licorice for the chandelier? has anyone gotten anything yet? just asking bc my friend at work is going to sew the drink me labels and place setting labels for me and I wasn't sure what color thread to tell her to use... if anyone who has purchased things could post photos or what colors you ended up getting that would be great! Thanks guys! have a good weekend = )

CANDYPLAN: Chairs and Chandelier

I found four chairs for our candy table. Only$20 for the set. Great deal, Isay, so picking up tomorrow. If you have any good ideas how to paint please let me know Tuesday night so I have the week to re-design. Will need to purchase paint so maybe a few peeps can throw down some cash Tuesday night for supplies??

Love this rock candy chandelier and think I am going to follow as an example. Take about 7 days to make rock candy and I found a recipe I want to try out instead of going to a store.
Again, please let me know what ideas you have because your input always helps inspire new ways of thinking!!
