Peep Art


Peeps!

That could mean a lot of things to many "peeps" but to us it means what to do with those sticky, gooey, marshmallow candies that some actually eat. We create with them...and I couldn't stand to think of eating one! While they may look like they can play well with others, peeps are a difficult medium to work with. They do work well with hot glue though. It helps that they come in all sorts of colors... blue, yellow, orange, brown, green, and pink. They also like to dress-up and wear foamy paint make-up. It really is convenient that I work at a craft store. I get so much inspiration. My co-workers have a ton of ideas. I hope they join the fun next year. Some of their thoughts are so off-the-wall that it really will be amusing for everyone.

This year the final selections that we submitted were Peep Pod, Line-up, Tepeep. and Peepsville. We decided to enter the show a week before the entries were due. Any more time and it could have been an unhealthy obsession. It turned into an addiction to keep creating and adding on. It really does take over the house-- at least the mess does.
It has been a fun week. We have so many ideas for shows to come. The show will be starting on this Saturday and runs for two weeks here in the guggenheim of central WI - Stevens Point.
