I like candy

Yesterday when I realised this next challenge on MMM I was totally blank and I was thinking "What to do... What to do? Come on, think woman!!" Then this morning I saw some liquorice and fruit gum was left from yesterday and I started emptying the bag. Just then it came to me: "I'll make a candy man:-))" I bought some vellum (the transparent paper), stamped it with a text stamp and some blue ink and then embossed it - I was excited to see the result because I wondered how the ink would go along with that kind of paper but later I saw a label on the ink that said that it was excellent for vellum, photos and coated paper :-) The tin foil is a used chocolate wrapper (as the headline states, I really do like candy *lol*).

 

I have you all "figured" out :-)

For this week's MMM challenge I've got a lot of explaining to do for it to make sense to everybody...
Top left: This is a rephrase of "There is no place like home". Without being too technical 127.0.0.1 is described as the adress of your own computer in a network.
Top right: As all math professors know (and don't you count me in in that category, on the contrary *ha ha*) the binary system consists purely of zeroes and ones, which represent a numeric value... So it doesn't say ten but actually two kind of people.
Bottom left: Many of you have heard the old childhood rhyme" Roses are red, violets are blue... Instead of the colours I have put in their hexadecimal value in their corresponding colours.
The rest, I believe, is simple addition... Hope, I explained it so you didn't get more confused :-)
Oops, I just realised, the stitched one cross the brown is hard to read. It says: "2 + 2 = 5 for a high value of the number 2" :-)
The green areas are white paper, I have inked green with an ink pad.

Last minute production

This might have turned out differently if I had had more than 1 hour 'till work ... I just wanted to finish it to be in the game so to say and I'm glad I did because I have learned to open up my creativity under time pressure. (Noticed, it's a Thrinchie? :-))


 

In the news

My first Mixed Media Monday challenge which is "Thrinchies" Already it's a challenge, since I've never done that format before. I'm so excited that I am already thinking about next week's challenge (great that you post a hint :-))

 

A new start - former creations

With the new membership of Mixed Media Monday I thought it was time to clear the table and start with a fresh - this time in English, so everybody have a chance to understand what I'm writing :-) This is some of the work I have done so far to show a bit of the development that I have went through:
