Title: ”Candy Button Trio"
I don't normally work on 3-D projects (mostly paper) but I love to play with new materials. I am a Printmaker & Textile designer, so my first thought was to sandblast a pattern into the hubcaps. However, I quickly discovered they were not made of metal! After some daydreaming, I remembered seeing a large range of colorful spray paints. The colors inspired me to choose the Fizzy Lifting Soda Pop Candy Shop as the storefront for my three large "Candy Button" hubcaps. Candy buttons and my daughters room were in mind while I had fun converting and decorating the hubcaps to become two functional mirrors and one working clock. I also used Sharpie Acrylic paint markers from the Inkwell for painting the smaller details. I enjoy doing projects within my hometown and look forward to another challenge next year.
