So it took many years of saving dum dum wrappers from dum dum lollipops...but here is the final result. "The Dum Dum Vase" The core vase I actually made in college about 17 years ago. It was the only thing I kept from my Ceramics 1 class. ( I 86'd or lost the numerous ash trays I made) I have always liked the biomorphic shape of the vase, and originally it had a brown smoked finish on it. It sat for many years in my various apartments, usually hidden high in a dark corner.
I've never been a huge candy person, but went through a dum dum lollipop phase one Halloween. (I bought them to give away to the trick or treaters, but nobody came ;( ) So I tore through the dum dums myself. I really don't know why I started keeping the wrappers. I guess I figured they would eventually end up in one of my wacky creations.
Anyway, eventually the idea of the dum dum vase came to me, and many years later...it is done!
Hooray for dum dums!
