So, back to my original idea. The reason for changing my idea was because I think I have exhausted the idea of melting Jelly Babies. They are no longer working on a practical level and I think I should look at substituting the Jelly Babies for a different material. The closest texture, weight and feel I can think of is PVA glue. Using glue instead would also eliminate the problem with the material being too sticky. If I placed the glue on plastic wallets it would peel off easily, meaning I could then shape it. The next problem I have is colouring the glue. I want to try and get the colours to match those of the Haribo Jelly Babies. I decided to use Brusho, as this will give an uneven colouring, giving the effect of my initial jelly sweet tests. I drew out stencils loosely following the lace patterns I had studied. I really like the outcome of this test, especially with the several different colours in one piece. I will make more of these.
