December 30, 200520 yr Hello. This is my first complete sculpture in cast, blown and pulled sugar. It is not edible, but it is lickable like a lollipop! I am sooo making more of this! the stuff professional sculptors do with it is amazing!http://www.yourimg.com/page/0520363/penguinsmall.jpghttp://www.yourimg.com/page/0521363/penguinchild.jpg
December 30, 200520 yr Cool! That proves there is no end of mediums, just shortfalls of imagination. This is the first I've heard of working sugar. How did you come by it?
December 30, 200520 yr Author my neighbor learned it by aprenticing with a dessert chef in a nearby town. She's now doing it for a massive chain pastry place, and going to asia for a few weeks to look at their art for inspiration. She invited me to come over to her plce and do a little bit of it today, so I did. She then showed me pictures of some of the "work of the masters" over in Vegas, where they do 5 foot tall swans with hand pressed wings etc. and it's quite inspiring!
December 30, 200520 yr Archie, this is as Junior said incredible stuff. Take notes. Old ways like this are more than important, they are historical. Blacksmithing may be one old way that is seeing a large resurgence. This sugar thing is absolutely something that needs preserved as an art and I really think you are lucky to be around it. Excellent work.
