Sugar Wonderland




My final project ... although nearly obsolete due to snow days ... was a winter wonderland sugar showpiece. It might be the first and last time I play with sugar for a showpiece as it is not commonly used for anything other than competitions. It was fun learning to blow, pour and pull sugar. They are difficult techniques and would take years of practice to master. I did enjoy creating my amateur piece of holiday spirit though. It was even more fun walking home through downtown Portland ... after about 3 blocks of pointing and head turning I was smiling and wishing folks Happy Holidays!
