Pixie Stix Couture

What happens when you combine Pixie Stix, modeling glue, too much time, and overwhelming curiosity? Well, it's not as scary as you might think. Look - I made art!

Does this guy look familiar? He's woolly, my mascot! And he's made entirely out of Pixie Stix powder!

Here are some pictures of his creation. It was a fun process of sketching, then smearing glue, then sprinkling piles and piles of color-coded Pixie dust all over the paper...a cat walking through the whole thing...and then shaking off the excess candy. I wish I could tell you that the resulting portrait smelled fruity and sweet...but it just smells like glue. Trust me I keep sniffing it thinking it might fruiten up.

In addition to woolly's portrait, I made a Woolly the Blog logo - also made entirely out of Pixie Stix powder. In fact, I added it as a permanent fixture on this blog, so look for it at the very bottom of the page!

Anyway, it's not like I was going to eat more of those decade-old Pixie Stix after nearly needing to have my stomach pumped just after New Year's. And I couldn't just let them go to waste! Now my Pixie Stix will be immortalized forever in art!
