On the most recent episode of Lifetime’s Project Runway, the designers were taken to Dylan’s Candy Store. They were to create a garment using mostly candy.
Although I did embellish my look with candy, I actually used this unconventional materials challenge for a contest from Design Sponge. Entries for the Painter’s Tape Do It Yourself Contest needed to use Scotch painter’s or masking tape for a home-related project. Here’s how I started my project.
I got a cardboard sphere, ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape, and a model named Iris.
While putting together a jumpsuit for Iris, I was also creating a globe for my collection. Here are some process shots.

Candy!

She’s got the whole world in her hands.
And at her feet. And the world’s got her back!
Hope you enjoyed Iris’s look of bold colors. And a taste of sweetness.
See you next time on the Runway!
Thanks, Lindsey, for telling me about the Design Sponge contest.

Look at all those tiny details! Incredible! I’m only going to try to wrap my brain around them; my clumsy fingers would be useless.
Thank you very much. In the clumsy fingers department, yesterday I swear I dropped everything I touched. It became ridiculous. Good thing I wasn’t at the Baccarat store.
Hey, not bad at all! Better than most of the designers.
And I really loved the globe!
Thank you. It turned out much better than I thought it would. Sort of a happy accident kind of thing. But it makes a nice tiny addition to the collection I’ve got going on that shelf.
Thanks very much! =)
Sweet merciful crap! That planet earth is almost awesome enough to distract me from the fashion!
Is that good or bad? 😉
