Coppertone Ad In Sugar
This was my contribution to the fabulous collaboration with the theme "Sweet Summer" hosted by Isabel Tamargo. There are 208 pieces total and all of them may be view at this link: https://www.facebook.com/sweetsummercollaboration
Both the girl and the dog are made with a wire armature from modeling chocolate, as are the shells. The swim suit and hair ribbons are made from gum paste and the sand is whole grain rye flour. The background is a photo.

I was fortunate to have two parents who were very artistic, so I was born with good genes :o)) I majored in Fine Arts in college and have done a lot of painting. Oddly, I never tried sculpting until I started playing with sugar and I really enjoy it.

You are very welcome. I love anything to do with Art. From simple kids art, drawings, museum art, architecture, sculptures etc. I have been blessed with some talent. However, you appear to have natural talent. :)

Thank you, Laura, for your sweet comments! Sugar art is just a hobby for me, so I have plenty of time to spend on each piece. Thanks for the friends request, too!

June, since I don't use a whole lot of anything, I've never compared the cost of gum paste vs fondnt vs modeing chocolate. Off the top of my head, I would say that modeling chocolate is a litte more expenive than gum paste, but I use Wilton Candy Melts so it is still very affordable and goes a long way.

Thank you, June! There is definitely a learning curve when using modeling chocolate, but it is worth it. So responsive! Now that I am starting to get the hang of its quirks, I am starting to really love it.

Such an amazing piece Sandra. Those legs are wickedly cool. I've only used modeling chocolate to cover rct or make roses. Can't imagine doing a whole figure in it.
