Progect runway ~ game 17 ~ the eye candy challenge

Those are actually great suggestions. A gallery thread is a great idea. Not just the winners, but any of the outfits you can get permission to post.

Taking the rest of my post to the discussion thread. More appropriate there.

As for this challenge...Wow...I dunno! I'm finally on a diet that's working and the thought of thinking candy is...ARGH! I'll see if something occurs to me that I could do without letting candy in the house..... Is it just candy? Or can we do any kind of sweets?

 

So far, I don't have a clue what I will produce but Mookie thinks we should enter and then wait for some inspiration.

Here is Mookie in all his regal glory as Prince of Candy Land.
FRONT VIEW




DETAIL #1 Candy corn crown, Cotton candy hair, Rock candy necklace, Kiss emblem



REAR VIEW - Cape made from Tootsie Roll Pop wrappers (with some gold trim as befits his princely status)



DETAIL #2 - Rear view of silver jumpsuit (as influenced by a Hershey Kiss; silver wrapper with Kissy lips on front). Plus, Mookie just loves shiny things.



FRONT VIEW without cape



GLAMOUR SHOT - includes sceptor made from lolly pop stick with gummy bear embellishment on top
The m&m on the wall refers to the dual Candy Land leaders, Prince Mookie and his twin sister Princess MeeMee. Since other dolls are not allowed in the pictures, MeeMee only gets an indirect reference.

 

Okay! This is the first time I'm entering in something like this, so... let's hope for the best! =D

I hope this is good! ^^

 

I'll try. But Pook's starting to get jealous. Let's do something for him. Besides, food is his thing.

Entire outfit is made from candy!! The hair ribbon, top, part of the skirt, and the little straps for the shoes are from sour gummy ribbon candy. The hair is made from red licorice. The skirt is a watermelon gummy cut in half, while the shoes are from a gummy frog.

Oo!! This look like a fun challenge! I'm going to be joining (editing the entry here) as soon as I decide who wants to look edible.

Edit: For some reason Archer thinks that as the muscular guy in a group of girls, he's the only one that qualifies as 'eye candy'

I appoligize for any off sizing on the photos. I edited them all down, but for some reason they are continuing to show up huge. I'm hoping it's just my computer.

OK, I can't post images again, even though it says IMG code is on. I copied what was listed for the first image and changed it to link to the others but no show. I give up - I'm tired of fighting this damned system. You may as well drop me from this one.

 

Wheeeee...LOVE CANDY!!!! So many ideas already.

Inspirations: Rock Candy, Ribbon Candy, Cotton Candy, Candy Conversation Hearts, Dot Candy

Front:


Back:


Details:

Details of the faux fur boot covers that reminded me of cotton candy, the textured fabric of the stockins, top and top part of the skirt I used to give a rock candy effect (the photos don't show the shine/sparkle very well) and the bottom of the skirt is a rounded pleating inspired from the ribbon candy.


Closer look at the top in the same textured fabric as the stockings and top of the skirt. The heart on the halter top I made to look like a conversation heart candy and a faux fur shrug to match the leg covers in cotton candy yellow. Fun little props/accessories to resemble a marshmallow twirly lollipop and candy bracelets.

Glamour:

Finished look..My white chocolate moose ready to go raving...lol.. I also created the wig and did her faceup to go along with the theme.

Sweet Inspiration: A lolita-inspired outfit consisting of a blouse, tulle petticoat, and heart-patterned overdress made via a combination of hand and machine sewing. The blouse has functional buttons. The dress has a velcro closure. The accessories are a sash, purse, and hair ribbons. (The shoes were purchased and are not part of the entry)

The real candy: The sash, hair accessories, and ruffle at the bottom of the skirt were made of sour gummy ribbon candy. The blue heart buttons on the dress, sash and hair accessories are pieces from a candy necklace. The handle of Ally's bag is made of a Warheads sour candy cane.

YAY!!!! Off to the candystore this weekend..nom nom. Already have my sketched idea, just need to decide on fabrics and get my new girl a faceup.

 

I'm working on some things. I can get pics tomorrow.

 

Nothing as of yet :/ I had a few ideas, but nothing concrete until I visit the candy isle/store/wherever...

 

I thought I got a picture of my sketch, but I can't find that. But here's some fabric I'm looking at.

My idea is cotton candy.

 

Oh boy looks like we were thinking down the same path those were the colors I was choosing for cotton candy..lol. Of course my idea isn't set in stone and I really need to start working on it..guess I won't be finishing ahead of schedule this round again..lol

 

Oh, man...love those colors!

I hope I can get time. Crazy month. We decided to upgrade our marine tank, the garden has exploded, and corporate taxes had to get done! ARGH! AND we've got MisCon coming up.

Wish I'd thought of cotton candy! I'd just dye a pile of poly-fill and toss Pook in the middle! Done! He'd be happy and I'd have fullfilled my duty to the thread! Not much of a costume, but then...he doesn't like clothes much anyway. Looking forward to seeing what you far more clever folks come up with.

 

lol...nope...been busy with work and getting ready for a convention in a few weeks..sigh..hopefully this weekend.

 

Sorry, Kitty! Great minds, right?

Elfmoon, I am getting started today! And I have my sketch uploading too! I had some really great regular candy ideas, but I already had these fabrics, so I went with that.

Sketch:

 

I now have my supplies! I'm excited...now to see if I can get it the way I imagined the outfit to be

 

no worries, I also saw one of those swirly lolipops but it was made of marshmallow..lol..so I have a few ideas floating around and another color thrown in there with the blues and pinks. Got some time today to work out some ideas...found a few fabrics so far in my stash that are definitely useable for this...so now to get down to the pattern work and get sewing.

 

Finally got time to start working...and just bought a few items that I didn't have in my stash...hope to get it together and finished this weekend.

 

I did not see it started :/

I don't know how I missed this!

good luck everyone

 

Please put me down for an extension. I hope I can make it. I haven't started yet since things haven't gone too well around here this month. I still have the materials I need and the idea, just need the time.

 

I got mine done over the weekend and posted photos already...yippy another challenge finished ahead of time..lol.

 

Extension please. Procrastination got the better of me....again

 

Extension, please, and I still probably won't make it. Just no time, darn it. Pook really needs new clothes.
Kittyblue, that is just downright spectacular! The fit on that skirt is perfect.
thegashlycrumb: Adorable. Love love love the use of the candy ribbon!

 

Thanks. I really wanted to use candy pieces but I also really wanted to reuse the outfit later for her...so I just went with candy looking fabric, because I would have ended up eating her outfit..lol

 

I just got started last week... I'm moving fairly well, but I'm going to go ahead and request the extension as well.

 

Ack! Due to the heat when I was trying to work with the candy, it got all icky on me...I put it in the fridge hoping it will help it! I will need an extension, please!

 

please add me to the extension list.

 

I'm withdrawing... O.o the cruddy side of life is requiring too much of my attention lately. Sorry!

 

I'm really sorry, but I've got to withdraw as well. This has been just too hectic a month...and I'm leaving tomorrow to go paint carousel horses! (Real world size!!!) Talk about an offer I couldn't refuse!

 

aaand done!

 

All done. YAY!! Good thing too. Otherwise, I would have been forced to eat more candies to determine what I should use.

 

sorry im late, I just now realized the time! Could you give me an extension? If not i understand, thank you.

 

Posted my pics! I finally was able to get the candy to work with me - the fridge did indeed help! I enjoyed eating the outfit after I was done And she did get a good washing afterwards as well!

I love seeing everyone's candy outfits!! They all look delicious

 

I'm having major issues with my glamor photo showing up way to large... I've gone ahead and submitted it to stay within the deadline, and I'm hoping it doesn't end up disqualifying me. I'm going to attempt to resize it again, but I'm afraid that it will be past the deadline before I get things straightened out...


Nevermind!! I got it fixed in time!
