Candy Land | Photo 21

I glued countless thousands of seed beads to a 1978 edition of the Candy Land game board. I estimate the total to be 100,000 beads. Each land presented challenges and opportunities in the use of novelty materials. I used polymer clays, crushed amber, buttons,
q tips, pipe cleaners, foam, charms, wooden beads, shells and baubles, etc. Completed 2006. Featured in Dec. 2006 issue of Bead and Button Magazine. 26" x 26"
