It's time again for our Peeps contest at work. I wanted to do something really different this year so I recreated Edward Hopper's Nighthawks.... with marshmallow Peeps.
I got a little carried away, painting the scene in detail and then building a 3D version of the diner. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
We had our annual Peeps contest at work again this spring. There were so many good entries...
I was pretty excited to learn that my Peeps diorama "Peepspollenation" won third place! I made butterflies, bees, a dragonfly, a grasshopper and a lady pug out of peeps and posed them in a flower garden. I ate a lotta peeps while I was making that!
The voting for our office peeps contest has ended so I can reveal that The Peep Strikes Back was my diorama. How many of you guess that?!
I was determined to recreate the Han Solo carbonite scene. Chewbacca has faux fur and a little Wookie bandolier. Note Boba Fetts antenae. The storm troopers are dipped white chocolate. C3PO is painted with gold paint. Lando Calrissi is accompanied by his assitant Lobot. There are a couple inaccuracies. Princess Leia was not wearing her well known white gown and cinnamon bun hairdo... she had on her snow suit and looped braids. Also, C3PO should be in pieces on Chewie's back.
I did resist adding R2D2 to the scene even though I really wanted too, since he was in the Degoba System with Luke.
We are having a peeps diorama contest at the office.
Entries have been popping up all week.
Right now it's anonymous until the voting is over so I can't say which one is mine.
I love how creative everyone has been with marshmallow candy! (This person was saving those ghost peeps since October!)
