Return of the Candy Container


I'm now obsessed with making "candy containers." I don't know why I love 'em so, but I do! Here is the latest one I just finished. This fellow can't see to keep his hands out of his own bowl (okay, does that sound as dirty as I think it does?). Made from a carved stryofoam base and hand sculpted in Paperclay, I've painted him in my usual style of acrylics and oil paint details. I've put him up on my Esty shop - he's looking for a good home!

    I said that I love him... And it's your style I love so much... the humor of his hands in the bowl cracks me up!
