I saw this picture in the last issue of Fiberarts Magazine. It is a chandelier, made by the artist YaYa Chou. It's striking and beautiful, and I bet you can't guess what it's made out of. Click here for a closeup.
The artist created a series of sculptures which are commentary on the artificiality of the things that we eat and our alienation from nature.
Here is a link to the page it originally appeared on, and you can see that the chandelier has been hanging for a year and a half with no signs of deterioration! She thinks it might last for ten years!
When I think about how many of these things I have eaten over the years...

mmmm, gummy bears!
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny! It looks pretty and glowy. : )
ReplyDeleteI love it but it wouldn't last here as there are too many people who have a sweet tooth!
ReplyDeletewow, isn't that a lovely effect! It reminds me of my high school chemistry teacher who kept a twinkie in the classroom each year (at least I think he opened a new one each year) to demonstrate the properties of preservatives!
ReplyDeleteWow - I didn't know gummy bears could look so beautiful :)
ReplyDeletemmmm edible furniture! can't go wrong with that ;-)
ReplyDeleteInteresting! Yummy light!
ReplyDeleteWish you a wonderful happy New Year, hege.
This is absolutely stunning! But I'm afraid it wouldn't last too long with me - I'm a gummy bear addict ;)
ReplyDeleteewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Sorry, but the fact that it's been hanging that long with deterioration...and she's thinking 10 years?
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful though, really really beautiful.
crap,....with NO deterioration....
ReplyDeletethanks, hege, for posting my chandelier! to answer Marianne's question about gummi deterioration: so far the gummi color has darkened a bit and hardened, but still smells great and softens with risen temperature. To be honest, I look forward to signs of deterioration myself as well:) Love the twinkie tale!!
