S is for Still in Fleet!

We do from time to time touch on art here, usually in connection with toy soldiers, but I was rather struck by these in a little boutique'y place here in town; minimal blurb - I'm indulging myself today!

How cools are these? To cool for the ice cream van that's for sure! Or not cool enough . . . they're resin alright! Only an idiot would take them out in an ice-cream van! Although when I say resin, they might be silicon; I didn't get to squidge them!

I shot these at the same time, they were not so striking, built up with glitter and the clear resin/silicon stuff, and some other stuff. The flowers probably worked better than the tree.

These were what actually drew me to the shop window; they look so real it's hard to credit them with not being luscious, fruity ice-lollies slowing melting in the sun!

Back to the jelly-babies, although they are more like gummibären! These work better with the 'splat' than the five with their nouvelle-cuisine jus-squiggles, if I had some spare cash I'd buy one of these, they are fun, quirky and you'll never get tired of looking at them, a naive landscape sinks into the background after a few weeks, a crying clown brings death to the house, rock-posters are for posers but splattered jelly-baby mirrors are brilliant!

This - like the plants - didn't work quite so well, but you can see with them all what the artist is 'working on' or trying to do!

That's it, weird 3D, jelly-baby art!
